Optimal group and individual prenatal care visit patterns and preterm birth by Moonseong Heo, Jessica L. Britt, Lu Zhang, Emily A. Doherty, Amy H. Crockett

“…Results Overall, > 7 visits during pregnancy (OR = 0.58, 95%CI: 0.43–0.79, p < .001), > 3 visits in the third trimester (OR = 0.42, 95%CI: 0.30–0.57, p < .001), > 2.25 care hours during pregnancy (OR = 0.67, 95%CI: 0.49–0.92, p = .014), > 0.75 care hours during the third trimester (OR = 0.50, 95%CI: 0.37, 0.67, p < .001), and > 147 days in care (OR = 0.41, 95%CI: 0.30–0.56, p < .001) were all significantly associated with lower PTB rates. A minimum care gap of > 21 days was associated with higher PTB (aOR = 2.87, 95%CI: 1.76–4.69, p < .001) and discontinuation of care before the third trimester was the strongest correlate of PTB (aOR = 12.6, 95%CI: 6.5–24.5), p < .001) in terms of aOR compared to that of all the other pattern variables. …”

Research progress on damage-associated molecular patterns in acute kidney injury by Jiajia Li, Zhangxue Hu

“…Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinical syndrome characterized by a sudden dysfunction of the kidney, which is common worldwide, with a relatively high incidence and mortality rate. Damage to the proximal renal tubule is a pathological hallmark of AKI, and inflammation triggered by the overactivation of the immune system is a common cause of proximal renal tubular injury, which is an important contributing factor in AKI exacerbation. …”
