care program, and closely self-monitoring blood glucose levels, which patients were asked to do 4 times a day.
The authors said it was significant that nearly 90% of the patients who participated in the telehealth support program significantly improved their blood glucose levels before delivering their babies. The study included 26,774 individuals enrolled in the gestational diabetes program at Kaiser Permanente in Northern California between January 2007 and December 2017. The researchers analyzed the data on glucose control levels between diagnosis and delivery and found that patients were clustered into 4 different trajectories. About 40% were"stably optimal," starting out with good control and maintaining it.

Research tests cost-effective approach to early-cancer detection from cell-free DNA in blood samplesEarly detection remains key to successfully treating many cancers, and early detection via cell-free DNA (cfDNA) circulating in the bloodstream—the so-called 'liquid biopsy'—has become a research focal point. But using this method to detect cancer at its early stages has been challenging due to low tumor concentrations in DNA blood fragments and the genetic diversity of cancer.
