Excessive gestational weight gain in women who are overweight or obese puts them at risk of poor short- and long-term outcomes for maternal and neonatal health. Several interventions have been trialled to encourage women who are overweight or obese to limit gestational weight gain during pregnancy. The aim of this review was to analyse the evidence on interventions to limit gestational weight gain in pregnant women who are overweight or obese. An integrative review guided by the Joanna Briggs Institute approach was conducted. An unlabeled search query of pregnancy, weight, and obesity was conducted in Medline, Scopus and CINAHL, limited to English language, 2010-2020 publications, and primary research on humans. Unlabeled search query of "((pregnancy outcome) OR (prenatal care) OR (pregnancy complications)) AND ((weight loss) OR (weight gain) OR (weight management)) AND (obesity) was used. Additional 9 records were identified through reference lists. Following a critical appraisal, 21 primary research articles were included in this review. A thematic synthesis was undertaken. Four major themes were identified. These are (1) mixed findings of lifestyle interventions for weight management, (2) ineffectiveness of probiotics or metformin for weight management, (3) psycho-behavioural interventions for weight management, and (4) midwifery role as an integral component in multidisciplinary intervention for weight management. The literature suggests a need for longer duration of behavioural lifestyle intervention sessions led by the same midwife trained in motivational interviewing to limit weight gain in pregnant women who are overweight or obese.

Nonurgent clinically significant test results (CSTRs) are a common cause of missed and delayed diagnoses. However, little is known about the impact of electronic health record (EHR) transitions on CSTR follow-up. This study examines follow-up rates for three CSTRs (incidental pulmonary nodules [IPNs]), prostate-specific antigen [PSA], and Pap smears) before and after EHR transition. This is a retrospective cohort study at an urban tertiary medical center using an interrupted time series (ITS) design to assess monthly changes in CSTR follow-up-defined as completion of computed tomography chest imaging 5 to 13 months after first mention of an IPN in a radiology report; completion of a follow-up PSA test, urology visit, or prostate biopsy within 6 months of the first reported PSA > 4; or completion of a colposcopy or gynecology visit within 6 months of a first reported abnormal Pap smear. Patients were included with first-onset abnormal CSTRs for IPN, PSAs > 4, or abnormal Pap smears occurring in the 24 months before and after the EHR transition. There were no significant differences in follow-up in the IPN or the Pap smear ITS models. VAV1 degrader-3 concentration In the PSA ITS model, follow-up was significantly decreasing (p = 0.0133) in the preintervention period, and there was a significant change in trend from intervention to postintervention (p = 0.0279). EHR transition reversed a decreasing trend over time for PSA test follow-up, while IPN and Pap smear follow-up trends did not change significantly. Effects of EHR transition may differ by test studied.

At intraoral examination, the lesion appeared as a well-delimited, mobile, and submucosal
