Tetrachlorobisphenol A (TCBPA), a widely used chemical on material modification and flame retardant synthesis, bioaccumulates through the food chain and presents significant health concerns. However, the long-term effect...

BackgroundGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is an increasingly important contributor to maternal and neonatal morbidity in Africa, yet the evidence base remains fragmented across settings and research domains. This stu...

HOPX (homeodomain-only protein), a member of the homeodomain family, is involved in various developmental processes and immune regulation. This study highlights HOPX expression in human placenta and its potential role in...

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...

ABSTRACT Objective: To estimate the association between sociodemographic and economic factors, prenatal care, and health-related risk and protective behaviors among pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus. Me...

BackgroundGlobally, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a growing health problem. When diagnosed with GDM, women often lack adequate health systems and social support, finding themselves alone at the frontier of epide...

Background: Small for gestational age (SGA) infants may have reduced lipid tolerance during intravenous lipid emulsion (ILE) therapy. We compared triglyceride (TG) levels in SGA versus non-SGA neonates receiving ILE and ...

Abstract Purpose Perinatal complications can occur in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) despite adequate metabolic control and standard diagnostics. Metabolic alterations can cause structural and functional changes in ...

BackgroundGestational weight gain is closely related to maternal and infant health outcomes. Pregnant women are simultaneously exposed to four metals—lithium (Li), vanadium (V), uranium (U), and bismuth (Bi)—through ...

This study investigated the impact of increased vitamin E and nutrient intake during early gestation on reproductive performance in sows. Thirty first-parity sows (Landrace × Yorkshire × Duroc) with an average initial ...

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...

Abstract Background Congenital malformations in domestic cats are traditionally considered uncommon; however, recent evidence suggests they may represent an underrecognized cause of neonatal mortality. Most reported anom...

Objective Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) refers to glucose intolerance, insulin sensitivity, and beta islet cell dysfunction during pregnancy. GDM pathogenesis is associated with hypertension, impaired placental and...

Abstract Introduction Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is closely related to insulin resistance (IR) and is usually diagnosed in mid-pregnancy, limiting opportunities for early risk identification. We evaluated six si...

Abstract Objective: To assess the risk of postpartum depression (PPD) in women with twin pregnancies using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), and to explore associations between maternal and neonatal compl...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims The prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in Saudi Arabia is believed to affect 36% of all pregnant women. Many adverse outcomes affect the lives of the neonates of these mothers....

Abstract Introduction Different pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) may lead to adverse pregnancy complications and unfavorable outcomes, but few studies focus on preterm infants under 32 gestational weeks. The associate...

Introduction: Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy (HDP), encompasses gestational hypertension, Preeclampsia and eclampsia, remain leading causes of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality globally. Among several b...

Abstract Background Shoulder dystocia is a severe and emergent adverse perinatal complication. Existing literature suggests that the risk of shoulder dystocia varies by race and socioeconomic status, but research in this...

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...

Abstract Background Pre-eclampsia is a multisystem disorder affecting 2.8% of pregnancies in the UK. It usually presents after 20-week gestation with new-onset high blood pressure and proteinuria. Complications include e...

Abstract Background Iodine plays a critical role in producing thyroid hormones essential for brain development. An imbalance of iodine, whether deficiency or excess, can disrupt thyroid function. Iodine-induced hypothyro...

Abstract Background There is evidence that data recorded by electronic sow feeding (ESF) systems can generate useful information to support decision-making at farms. More specifically, healthy and diseased animals exhibi...

Abstract Fetal mortality significantly impacts reproductive efficiency in sheep, with approximately 30% of fetuses failing to survive until lambing. In multifetal gestation, partial litter loss (PLL) occurs in 28% to 37%...
