Neonatal outcome following metformin ‐treated gestational diabetes mellitus: A population‐based cohort study
ConclusionsThe risk of neonatal hypoglycemia appears to be comparable among offspring exposed to single metformin treatment and nutrition therapy alone, and the lower risk that we observed in favor of metformin is probably explained by a difference in supplemental feeding practices rather than metformin per se. By contrast, the lower risk favoring metformin exposure over insulin exposure was not explained by supplemental feeding. However, further investigations are required to determine whether the difference is an effect of metformin per se or mediated by other external factors.

Effect of lung metastasis on the treatment and prognosis of patients with gestational trophoblastic neoplasia: A systematic review and meta ‐analysis
ConclusionsGTN patients with lung metastasis exhibited a higher risk of chemoresistance, relapse, and disease-specific death. Patients with lung metastasis among the Caucasian population had a higher risk of recurrence than Asian populations. Therefore, the presence of lung metastases might be considered as a high-risk factor for prognosis of GTN and deserves more attention in the choice of first-line chemotherapy regimens and follow-up.

Maternal pre ‐pregnancy overweight or obesity and risk of birth defects in offspring: Population‐based cohort study
ConclusionsMaternal pre-pregnancy overweight or obesity was associated with a higher risk of birth defects, particularly congenital malformations of the circulatory system, in offspring. Gestational diabetes interacts additively with pre-pregnancy overweight or obesity on modifying the risk of congenital malformations of the circulatory system. The importance of improving weight management and assessment of glucose and metabolic functions was emphasized among women planning for pregnancy who are overweight or obese.

Previous cancers in women diagnosed with premature ovarian insufficiency: A nationwide population ‐based case–control study
ConclusionsThis study reveals that 21.9% of women with POI have a history of cancer, making the prevalence of cancer among these women 27.5 times higher than age-matched controls in the Finnish population. The risk of developing POI is most substantial in the first 2  years following a cancer diagnosis. These findings underscore the role of cancer treatments as an etiological factor for POI and emphasize the importance of recognizing the risk of POI in cancer survivors for early diagnosis and intervention.

Maternal and neonatal complications of shoulder dystocia with a focus on obstetric maneuvers: A case –control study of 1103 deliveries
ConclusionsThe increased use of obstetric maneuvers during the study period was associated with decreasing rates of neonatal complications; conversely, the lack of obstetric maneuvers was associated with the highest rate of neonatal complications. These emphasize the importance of education, maneuver training and urgently performing shoulder dystocia maneuvers according to the international protocol guidelines.

The maternal microbiome in pregnancy, delivery, and early ‐stage development of neonatal microbiome after cesarean section: A prospective longitudinal study
ConclusionsMaternal vaginal and rectal microbiomes in healthy pregnancies remain stable during the third trimester. No microbial colonization of the neonate was observed before birth in healthy pregnancies. Neonatal microbiomes in infants delivered by cesarean section displayed a taxonomic composition distinct from maternal vaginal and rectal microbiomes at birth, indicating that postnatal exposure to the extrauterine environment is the driving source of initial neonatal microbiome development in this cohort.
