Background: Low birth weight (LBW) is a major public health concern in Lesotho, linked to higher infant mortality, long-term morbidity and intergenerational poverty. Despite expanded maternal and child health services, ...

Abstract Background Preterm low birth weight (PLBW) is a major global contributor to neonatal morbidity and mortality. This study aims to develop and evaluate a novel artificial neural network (ANN) based predictive mode...

Abstract Introduction Small for gestational age and fetal growth restriction are two leading causes for low birth weight in term newborns. Due to the considerable overlap, the exact interactions between these groups have...

Introduction: Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) fosters the well-being of babies by promoting temperature control, ease of breast-feeding, and strengthening the bond between mother and baby. Rarely any comparative analysis betw...

Key Points. Lower maternal midterm eGFR was independently associated with increased risks of low birth weight and small for gestational age. Adding eGFR to conventional risk models improved prediction of adverse birth ou...

Abstract Background The skin is the largest epithelial organ and a critical barrier. However, in preterm infants, particularly very low birth weight infants (VLBWI,

Human birth weight is under stabilizing selection, seeking balance between extremes of high and low, thereby reducing fetal and maternal perinatal mortality risk. Certain combinations of maternal killer immunoglobulin-li...

BackgroundNewborn screening (NBS) based on tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is essential for the early identification of inherited metabolic disorders. However, physiological immaturity in preterm and low-birth-weight (L...

Objective To examine associations between participants’ perinatal factors, including harmonised birth weight and length, prematurity, exposure to maternal smoking during pregnancy and breastfeeding during infancy, and ...

Abstract Background Preterm birth (PTB) and low birth weight (LBW) are significant public health challenges globally, contributing to neonatal morbidity, mortality, and long-term complications. Maternal oral health has b...

Aim: to synthesize existing scientific literature to evaluate the impact of war and military conflict on the course of pregnancy and childbirth among female service members and internally displaced women. Materials an...

Preterm birth and low birth weight are major causes of illness and death in newborn babies, especially in developing countries. Kangaroo mother care (KMC) is a simple and low-cost method that includes skin-to-skin contac...

Advances in perinatal and neonatal medicine have dramatically improved the survival rates of infants with perinatal vulnerabilities of preterm birth (PTB), low birth weight (LBW) or small for gestational age (SGA), by re...

Abstract Background SARS-CoV-2 infection in infants and neonates is generally uncommon and tends to present with milder symptoms than in adults. While most infected neonates are asymptomatic, some may exhibit fever, poor...

Background: Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is a common condition and a major contributor to neonatal morbidity, particularly among infants from multifetal pregnancies who are at increased risk due to prematurity and low bir...

ABSTRACT To conduct an optimal breeding and selection program, it is necessary to understand the genetic underpinnings of the desired traits. Early growth is an indicator of future success in the production and reproduct...

ObjectiveThis study aimed to conduct an exploratory observational analysis to assess the association between bacterial L-form detection and intrauterine infection in pregnant women with placenta previa and bleeding, and ...

Background: Viscero-abdominal disproportion is a major limiting factor for primary abdominal wall closure in patients with giant omphalocele. The application of fascial traction has been shown to be an effective strategy...

DNA ligase IV (LIG4) is essential for repairing breaks in double-stranded DNA via nonhomologous end-joining in developing lymphocytes and is particularly important for V(D)J recombination. First described in the early 20...

Introduction: Neonatal intussusception is a rare cause of bowel obstruction, particularly in preterm infants, and may mimic necrotizing enterocolitis. When a lead point is identified, Meckel's diverticulum is among the m...

IntroductionIn utero heat stress during late gestation impairs heifer growth and mammary development, reducing first-lactation productivity. However, whether these prenatal effects persist through the heifer’s first ge...

ABSTRACT Background Mpox is a zoonotic viral disease caused by the monkeypox virus, with potential for significant morbidity across all population groups, including pregnant individuals and neonates. Pregnancy represents...

BackgroundBalancing pulmonary and systemic blood flow remains one of the most critical challenges in the management of high-risk neonates with ductal-dependent circulation, particularly in the presence of low birth weigh...

ABSTRACT Purpose Maternal omega‐3 intake during pregnancy may influence infants’ anthropometric measurements and pregnancy outcomes. This study reviewed research articles investigating the effects of omega‐3 supple...
