The value of using customized birth-weight centiles to improve the diagnostic accuracy for fetal growth restriction (FGR), in comparison with using population-based charts, remains a matter of debate. One potential explanation for the conflicting data is that most studies used measures of perinatal mortality and morbidity as proxies for…[Read more]

001). Significant survival improvements in surgery group compared with non-surgery group were observed in patients with lung-only metastasis (adjusted HR = 0.45, P  less then  .001), bone-only metastasis (adjusted HR = 0.40, P  less then  .001), and liver-only metastasis (adjusted HR = 0.27, P  less then  .001), whereas no survival improvement of…[Read more]

Social jetlag, a mismatch between internal biological time and social schedules, and a later timing of the midpoint of sleep on work-free days as an indicator of the circadian phase of entrainment (late chronotype), may be factors associated with poor quality sleep. This study examined the association of social jetlag and chronotype with…[Read more]

This probably explains their design, with a narrow interblade distance and long blade length, to fit a severely moulded fetal head. However, in modern obstetric practice protracted labour is avoided, yet our research has shown…[Read more]
