Glucose tolerance testing (GTT) is used clinically to evaluate IR in pregnancy. Quantose IR score index is a novel blood screen of IR validated in nonpregnant individuals. The score is generated using an algorithm that combines insulin and three biomarkers of fatty acid pathways (α-hydroxybutyrate, oleic acid, linoleoyl-glycerophospocholine). Our objective was to determine the validity of Quantose IR test (Metabolan Inc. Morrisville, NC) in assessing IR in pregnant obese women, as compared with the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and its ability to predict GDM and NH.  Women between 10 and 13 weeks of gestation with a pre-pregnancy or early pregnancy body mass index more than 30 kg/m , and no pregestational diabetes, were included. Fasting blood samples were collected at 10 to 13 (T1) ang, and unpleasant to patients.. · The first trimester one-step Quantose IR test reflects insulin resistance in pregnancy and predicts GDM and neonatal hypoglycemia.. · This is the first known prospective clinical study validating Quantose IR score index in an obstetrical population at risk for developing GDM..  Early and accurate diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is important. Our aim was to identify potential volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the bile that can help distinguish pancreatic cancer from chronic pancreatitis.  In this prospective observational study, bile was aspirated from patients undergoing endoscopic retrograd
