With the adjustment of China's fertility policies, the proportion of advanced maternal age pregnancies has increased, making early identification of critical conditions in this population essential for successful treatment. This article systematically reviews the development of obstetric early warning management systems and advances in machine learning-based artificial intelligence for risk assessment in high-risk pregnant women. As artificial intelligence technology continues to evolve, future developments will include intelligent electronic medical record systems for high-risk pregnant women, generate clinical decision support solutions for early warning management, and establish coordinated critical care systems for severely ill pregnant women.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of dupilumab in the treatment of elderly patients (≥ 60 years old) with atopic dermatitis (AD), with particular attention paid to rare adverse reactions.Methods:A single-center retrospective analysis was conducted on data collected from 281 elderly AD patients who received the standard regimen of dupilumab at the Department of Dermatology, Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January 2020 to May 2024. Clinical characteristics such as gender, disease duration, skin lesion manifestations, and itch severity were analyzed. Changes in skin lesions and itch severity, as well as related adverse events were recorded during the follow-up period of 0 - 16 weeks. The efficacy and safety of dupilumab in the treatment of elderly AD patients were evaluated.Results:Among the 281 elderly AD patients, 214 were males (76.16%) and 67 were females (23.84%), with the age being 71.13 ± 7.91 years and the age at onset being 59.92 ± 15.72 years. The disease duration ( M[ IQR]) was 5.00 (13.00) years. After standard-regimen dupilumab treatment, the improvement rates of clinical outcome indicators SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) and pruritus numerical rating scale (NRS) scores gradually increased. At week 16, the improvement rates of SCORAD and NRS scores ( M[ IQR]) reached the maxima of 72.37% (23.89%) and 75.00% (29.72%), respectively. The overall incidence of adverse events was relatively low, with only 16 patients (6.05%) reporting adverse events. Common adverse reactions such as conjunctivitis (2 cases, 0.71%) and facial erythema (1 case, 0.36%) were mild and well-tolerated. Phenotype switching occurred in 10 cases (3.56%) . Conclusion:Dupilumab was an effective and safe treatment for elderly AD, but phenotype switching may occur.

A 36-year-old male developed unconsciousness and no response to voice stimuli after taking approximately 2 050 mg felodipine (the specific time was unknown). Two hours later, he was sent to the department of emergency by his family and admitted to the hospital. His vital signs showed body temperature 35.1 ℃, pulse 148 times/min, respiration 32 times/min, and blood pressure 65/34 mmHg. Acute drug poisoning, acute toxic cardiomyopathy, acute toxic shock, acute type Ⅱ respiratory failure, acute toxic encephalopathy, and acute renal failure were diagnosed based on the patient′s clinical manifestations combined with laboratory tests results, cardiac ultrasound, chest and abdominal CT scans. Endotracheal intubation connected to a ventilator for invasive assisted ventilation, pressure boosting, and fluid resuscitation were given. At the same time, repeated gastric lavage and enema were performed to remove toxins. Blood perfusion was intermittently and repeatedly administered, and continuous renal replacement therapy was used. The blood concentration of felodipine was 1 298 μg/L at 2 hours after admission, and cardiac arrest occurred at 4 hours. Venous-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) treatment was administered immediately. After 48 hours of ECMO operation, sedatives were discontinued and the patient′s consciousness was improved after 4 hours. On the 5th day of ECMO treatment, his heart rate was 72 beats per minute, and blood pressure was 127/65 mmHg. The blood concentration of felodipine decreased to 2 μg/L. The patient′s vital signs were significantly improved and ECMO supportive treatment was withdrawn. After 26 days of hospitalization, the patient recovered and was discharged.

Objective:To investigate the current application of blood purification in the treatment of acute poisoning within Jiangsu Province and to evaluate the impact of extracorporeal blood purification on the clinical outcomes of critically poisoned patients.Methods:This multicenter, cross-sectional real-world observational study followed patients presenting with poisoning to the emergency departments of nine hospitals in Jiangsu Province between June 2015 and May 2019. Data were collected on demographic characteristics, vital signs within the first hour of emergency presentation, treatment modalities, length of hospital stay, and survival outcomes. Clinical data from patients who underwent extracorporeal blood purification were compared with those who did not, using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test and Chi-square test.Results:A total of 4 178 poisoning cases were included between June 2015 and May 2019. Among them, 21.7% (908/4 178) received blood purification therapy, while 78.3% (3 270/4 178) did not. Hemoperfusion (90.4%) was the most frequently employed method, followed by continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) (4.4%). In combined blood purification modalities, 4.8% underwent hemoperfusion combined with CRRT, 0.1% received hemoperfusion with plasma exchange, and another 0.1% underwent hemoperfusion combined with both CRRT and plasma exchange. Among patients who underwent blood purification, pesticide poisoning was the most prevalent (76.3%), with the most common toxic agents being paraquat (23.7%), dichlorvos (8.7%), methamidophos (5.2%), omethoate (4.0%), and glyphosate (3.7%). Compared to the non-blood purification group, patients in the blood purification group were more likely to present within the first hour with a low Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score (3-8) (22.6% vs. 9.7%, P <0.05), low mean arterial pressure (8.0% vs. 3.2%, P <0.05), longer hospital stays [5(3,9) days vs. 2(1,4) days, P <0.05] and a higher in-hospital mortality rate (21.1% vs. 5.3%, P <0.05). Follow-up via telephone 28 days after discharge revealed a survival rate of 78.9%, with a mortality rate of 21.1% in the blood purification group. Conclusions:Hemoperfusion is the most commonly utilized blood purification technique for treating poisoning in Jiangsu Province, with pesticides being the primary toxic agents treated. Although the mortality rate is higher in the blood purification group, the intervention may still contribute to improved patient outcomes.
