The association of maternal anaemia with adverse maternal and foetal outcomes in Somali women: a prospective study - BMC Women's HealthBackground Anaemia in pregnant women is one of the most common public health problems, especially in low- and middle-income countries, such as Somalia. This study aimed to examine the association between the severity of anaemia during pregnancy and the risk of adverse maternal and foetal outcomes in Somali women. Methods We prospectively enrolled pregnant women who had deliveries from May 1 to December 1, 2022, at Mogadishu Somali Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Training and Research Hospital. Blood haemoglobin levels were measured for each participant at admission for delivery. Anaemia was defined as a haemoglobin level of less than 11 g/dL, with mild (10 to 10.9 g/dL), moderate (7 to 9.9 g/dL), and severe (| 7 g/dL) forms. The associations between maternal anaemia and maternal-foetal outcomes were investigated. Results The study included 1186 consecutive pregnant women (mean age 26.9 years, range 16–47). The incidence of maternal anaemia at delivery was 64.8%, with 33.8%, 59.8%, and 6.4% of women having mild, moderate and severe forms, respectively. Anaemia at delivery was associated with increased oxytocin administration to prompt labour (OR, 2.25, 95% CI, 1.34–3.78). Both moderate and severe anaemia were associated with increased risks for postpartum haemorrhage (moderate, OR, 4.93; severe, OR, 41.30) and the need for maternal blood transfusions (moderate, OR, 9.66; severe, OR, 301.50). In addition, severe anaemia was associated with increased risks for preterm delivery (OR, 2.50, 95% CI, 1.35–4.63), low birth weight (OR, 3.45, 95% CI, 1.87–6.35), stillbirths (OR, 4.02, 95% CI, 1.79–8.98), placental abruption (OR, 58.04,95% CI, 6.83–493.27) and maternal ICU admission (OR, 8.33, 95% CI, 3.53–19.63). Conclusion Our findings suggest that anaemia in pregnancy is associated with adverse maternal and foetal outcomes, with moderate or severe anaemia leading to increased risks for peri-, intra- and postpartum complications and that treatment of severe anaemia in pregnant wo

Fibroblast-Activation Protein PET and Histopathology in a Single-Center Database of 324 Patients and 21 Tumor EntitiesWe present an overview of our prospective fibroblast-activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) registry study across a 3-y period, with head-to-head comparison of tumor uptake in 68Ga-FAPI and 18F-FDG PET, as well as FAP immunohistochemistry. Methods: This is an interim analysis of the ongoing 68Ga-FAPI PET prospective observational trial at our department. Patients who underwent clinical imaging with 68Ga-FAPI PET between October 2018 and October 2021 were included. Tracer uptake was quantified by SUVmax for tumor lesions and by SUVmean for normal organs. PET tumor volume (40% isocontour) and tumor-to-background ratios were calculated. Correlation between SUVmax and FAP staining in tissue samples was analyzed. Results: In total, 324 patients with 21 different tumor entities underwent 68Ga-FAPI imaging; 237 patients additionally received 18F-FDG PET. The most common tumor entities were sarcoma (131/324, 40%), pancreatic cancer (67/324, 21%), and primary tumors of the brain (22/324, 7%). The mean primary tumor SUVmax was significantly higher for 68Ga-FAPI than 18F-FDG among pancreatic cancer (13.2 vs. 6.1, P | 0.001) and sarcoma (14.3 vs. 9.4, P | 0.001), and the same was true for mean SUVmax in metastatic lesions of pancreatic cancer (9.4 vs. 5.5, P | 0.001). Mean primary tumor maximum tumor-to-background ratio was significantly higher for 68Ga-FAPI than 18F-FDG across several tumor entities, most prominently pancreatic cancer (14.7 vs. 3.0, P | 0.001) and sarcoma (17.3 vs. 4.7, P | 0.001). Compared with 18F-FDG, 68Ga-FAPI showed superior detection for locoregional disease in sarcoma (52 vs. 48 total regions detected) and for distant metastatic disease in both sarcoma (137 vs. 131) and pancreatic cancer (65 vs. 57), respectively. Among 61 histopathology samples, there was a positive correlation between 68Ga-FAPI SUVmax and overall FAP immunohistochemistry score ( r=0.352, P=0.005). Conclusion: 68Ga-FAPI demonstrates higher absolute uptake in pancreatic cancer and sarcoma,

Telehealth Coverage Debate Still Unfolding in Mass. LegislatureMassachusetts doctors and health care associations embraced legislation Tuesday that could make telehealth a more permanent option for patients who are in too much pain to visit a provider’s office in person or cannot coordinate travel logistics. Bills filed by Rep. Marjorie Decker and Sen. Adam Gomez (H 986/S 655) would require insurance reimbursement parity for all telehealth services, going…
