Solving the Obstetrical Paradox: The FETAL Technique—A Step toward Noninvasive Evaluation of Fetal pH by Jacques Balayla, Guy Shrem

“…The FETAL technique, currently under investigation, applies the discrete Fourier transformation to EFM tracings to determine the spectral frequency distribution of the fetal heart rate. These specific frequency distributions correlate with specific umbilical pH values and may provide the missing link between fetal heat rate patterns and acid-base status at birth. …”

Global, regional, and national burden of interstitial lung diseases and pulmonary sarcoidosis from 2000 to 2021: a systematic analysis of incidence, mortality, and disability-adjus... by Mi Zhou, Yazhe Zhou, Xin Yang, Kaizhuo Zhou, Xin Zhu

“…Temporal trends were evaluated using Joinpoint regression analysis, and the relationship between disease burden and the sociodemographic index (SDI) was explored by stratifying the data into five SDI categories. Age-standardized rates were calculated to adjust for differences in population structure, and data visualization was performed using R software.ResultsBetween 2000 and 2021, the global burden of ILDs and pulmonary sarcoidosis increased, as reflected by rising age-standardized incidence rates (ASIR), mortality rates (ASMR), and disability-adjusted life years rates (ASDR). …”
