A review of the association between abnormal body mass index and oocyte quality - PubMed

A review of the association between abnormal body mass index and oocyte quality - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42226234/

In recent years, the global prevalence of obesity has witnessed a sharp increase. Abnormal body mass index (BMI) exerts a profound influence on female fertility, particularly on oocyte quality. This...

Review highlights that abnormal BMI—especially obesity—negatively affects oocyte quality through lipotoxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, DNA damage, and epigenetic alterations, leading to poorer fertility outcomes and increased miscarriage risk.

Severe hypertriglyceridemia during pregnancy in a hypothyroid patient: A case report and literature review - PubMed

Severe hypertriglyceridemia during pregnancy in a hypothyroid patient: A case report and literature review - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42148201/

Normal pregnancy causes marked increases in lipids, but in women with underlying dyslipidaemia, this can lead to severe hypertriglyceridemia (triglyceride >1000 mg/dL) and acute pancreatitis. Coexisting conditions like diabetes and...

Case highlights pregnancy-associated severe hypertriglyceridemia in a woman with diabetes and hypothyroidism, complicated by acute pancreatitis, successfully managed using plasmapheresis, insulin infusion, fenofibrate, and coordinated multidisciplinary obstetric care.

Successful management of Candida auris external ventricular shunt infection: a case report - PubMed

Successful management of Candida auris external ventricular shunt infection: a case report - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40764594/

Candida auris ventriculitis can be effectively managed with systemic antifungal therapy and appropriate source control measures.

This case demonstrates successful treatment of rare Candida auris ventriculitis associated with an external ventricular shunt using susceptibility-guided combination antifungal therapy and definitive source control through shunt removal, highlighting importance of aggressive multidisciplinary management.
