Excessive gestational weight gain in women who are overweight or obese puts them at risk of poor short- and long-term outcomes for maternal and neonatal health. Several interventions have been trialled to encourage women who are overweight or obese to limit gestational weight gain during pregnancy.

The aim of this review was to analyse the evidence on interventions to limit gestational weight gain in pregnant women who are overweight or obese.

An integrative review guided by the Joanna Briggs Institute approach was conducted. An unlabeled search query of pregnancy, weight, and obesity was conducted in Medline, Scopus and CINAHL, limited to English language, 2010-2020 publications, and primary research on humans. Unlabeled search query of "((pregnancy outcome) OR (prenatal care) OR (pregnancy complications)) AND ((weight loss) OR (weight gain) OR (weight management)) AND (obesity) was used. Additional 9 records were identified through reference lists. Following a critical appraisal, 21 primary research articles were included in this review. A thematic synthesis was undertaken.

Four major themes were identified. These are (1) mixed findings of lifestyle interventions for weight management, (2) ineffectiveness of probiotics or metformin for weight management, (3) psycho-behavioural interventions for weight management, and (4) midwifery role as an integral component in multidisciplinary intervention for weight management.

The literature suggests a need for longer duration of behavioural lifestyle intervention sessions led by the same midwife trained in motivational interviewing to limit weight gain in pregnant women who are overweight or obese.

Nonurgent clinically significant test results (CSTRs) are a common cause of missed and delayed diagnoses. However, little is known about the impact of electronic health record (EHR) transitions on CSTR follow-up. This study examines follow-up rates for three CSTRs (incidental pulmonary nodules [IPNs]), prostate-specific antigen [PSA], and Pap smears) before and after EHR transition.

This is a retrospective cohort study at an urban tertiary medical center using an interrupted time series (ITS) design to assess monthly changes in CSTR follow-up-defined as completion of computed tomography chest imaging 5 to 13 months after first mention of an IPN in a radiology report; completion of a follow-up PSA test, urology visit, or prostate biopsy within 6 months of the first reported PSA > 4; or completion of a colposcopy or gynecology visit within 6 months of a first reported abnormal Pap smear. Patients were included with first-onset abnormal CSTRs for IPN, PSAs > 4, or abnormal Pap smears occurring in the 24 months before and after the EHR transition.

There were no significant differences in follow-up in the IPN or the Pap smear ITS models. In the PSA ITS model, follow-up was significantly decreasing (p = 0.0133) in the preintervention period, and there was a significant change in trend from intervention to postintervention (p = 0.0279).

EHR transition reversed a decreasing trend over time for PSA test follow-up, while IPN and Pap smear follow-up trends did not change significantly. Effects of EHR transition may differ by test studied.

Corn Oil molecular weight At intraoral examination, the lesion appeared as a well-delimited, mobile, and submucosal nodule. A benign mesenchymal neoplasm was the main hypothesis of diagnosis. Histopathological analysis revealed salivary gland neoplasm formed by atypical cells often arranged in microcystic structures, with frequent intraluminal papillary projections. The tumor cells presented positivity for CK7 and negativity for CK20. Based on these features, the diagnosis of cystadenocarcinoma was established. The patient was submitted to wide surgical resection. No recurrence was observed after 48 months. Although rare, cystadenocarcinoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of oral submucosal nodules.

The midface has been a difficult zone to manage in rejuvenating surgeries. The major challenge for midface lift is to achieve extensive dissection and elevate the composite tissues en bloc through minimal incisions.

In a total of 22 composite midface lift cases, a titanium cable wire was used. The wire was made into an elastic loop that guided three SMAS-suspending sutures out of the subcutaneous plane through a short incision at the temporal region. Then, each suture was fixated to the deep temporal fascia. Postoperative complications and the subjective assessment of the patients were evaluated.

Surgeries were successfully commenced in all cases. Midface sagging, eye bags, and nasolabial folds all exhibited considerable improvements. Major complications such as nerve injury and alopecia were not observed. The patients were followed up for an average of 16.9 months. In general, 90% of the patients were satisfied with their outcome.

This guided suspension suturing technique effectuates a more convenient and efficient way to conduct multi-points anchorage of the composite malar flap. When properly executed, this technique allows the anchorage sutures to bite into the deeper layer of the SMAS that ensures firm suspensions in midface rejuvenation surgery.

Although without a widespread popularity, the septocutaneous gluteal artery perforator flap (sc-GAP) can be an excellent choice in breast reconstruction. The purpose of the article is to further study the preoperative imaging anatomy and surgical technique for a safe operation.

A clinical experience in four unilateral breast reconstructions is reported, and an analysis is made of the computed tomography angiography (CTA) variables (36 studies/72 sides) that might define the microsurgical consistency and reliability of the technique.

After a careful preoperative imaging evaluation, the surgical operation confirmed a predictable, although not straightforward, anatomy. All the flaps were raised in the supine position. With a remarkably quick postoperative recovery, the resulting scar was well hidden and did not significantly distort the gluteal aesthetics although contralateral contouring liposuction might be desirable in unilateral cases. Good aesthetic results were obtained in all the patients. In the evaluation of the CTA studies, a right/left septocutaneous perforator arising from the superficial branch of the superior gluteal artery could be found in 80.
