Circulating fibroblast growth factor 21 levels in gestational diabetes mellitus and preeclampsia: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Zhen Cao, Zhiming Deng, Jieyi Lu, Ying Yuan

“…Conclusions Our study found that FGF21 has the potential to serve as a diagnostic marker for GDM or PE. However, due to the limited number of studies and the fact that most data were from the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, more large-scale prospective studies are needed to validate these conclusions, investigate the potential of FGF21 in enabling early diagnosis, and further examine the role of FGF21 in the development and progression of GDM/PE. …”

Is the Pressure from Blue Dye Cervical Injection Associated with Sentinel Lymph Node Detection in Laparoscopic Surgery for Endometrial Cancer? by Marcelo Simonsen, Marina Bandeira de Mello Amaral, Najla Mohamed Tayfour, Eric Vieira Luna Mayerhoff, Igor Marcondes de Andrade, Lais Moreira Silva, Marcelo Antonini, Andressa Melina Severino Teixeira

“… Introduction Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has been proven to be a safe procedure in the treatment of endometrial cancer, and the instillment of a dye/marker in the cervix is the most used technique. Various studies have correlated the body mass index (BMI) impact as well as menopausal status and staging with the rate of lymph node detection, but few studies have evaluated if the high density of the cervix decreases detection.…”
