Angiogenic and vasoactive proteins in the maternal-fetal interface in healthy pregnancies and preeclampsia
Preeclampsia is characterized by maternal endothelial activation and placental dysfunction. Imbalance in maternal angiogenic and vasoactive factors has been linked to the pathophysiology. The contribution of the placenta as a source to these factors remains unclear. Furthermore, little is known about fetal angiogenic and vasoactive proteins and the relation between maternal and fetal levels. (Source: American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology)

The simultaneous occurrence of gestational diabetes and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy affects fetal growth and neonatal morbidity
Gestational diabetes (GDM) is associated with an increased risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), but there are limited data on fetal growth and neonatal outcomes when both conditions are present. (Source: American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology)

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is Associated With an Increased Frequency of Spontaneous Preterm Births: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Preterm birth (PTB) is one of the most frequent complications of pregnancies in women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The high indicated PTB proportion due to hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and/or fetal growth restriction is well known, and preventive measures as well as screening for early detection are performed. The risk of spontaneous PTB is less well recognized. The purpose of this study is to determine the proportions of spontaneous and indicated PTB in pregnancies of women with SLE (Source: American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology)

Maternal mortality in the United States: are the high and rising rates due to changes in obstetrical factors, maternal medical conditions, or maternal mortality surveillance?
National Vital Statistics System reports show that maternal mortality rates in the United States have nearly doubled, from 17.4 in 2018 to 32.9 per 100,000 live births in 2021. However, these high and rising rates could reflect issues unrelated to obstetrical factors, such as changes in maternal medical conditions or maternal mortality surveillance (eg, due to introduction of the pregnancy checkbox).

Plasma proteins and persistent post-surgical pelvic pain among adolescents and young adults with endometriosis
Non-invasive biomarkers that predict surgical treatment response would inform personalized treatments and provide insight into potential biological pathways underlying endometriosis-associated pain and symptom progression. Thus, we evaluated plasma proteins in relation to persistence of pelvic pain following laparoscopic surgery in predominantly adolescents and young adults with endometriosis using a multiplex aptamer-based proteomics biomarker discovery platform.

A Randomized Trial of Double Verses Single-Dose Etonogestrel Implant to Overcome the Interaction with Efavirenz-Based Antiretroviral Therapy
Concomitant use of efavirenz-based antiretroviral therapy and a standard-dose etonogestrel contraceptive implant resulted in 82% lower etonogestrel exposure compared to women not receiving antiretroviral therapy. The clinical impact of this reduced exposure is supported by retrospective cohort evaluations which demonstrated higher rates of unintended pregnancies when contraceptive implants were combined with efavirenz. We hypothesized that placement of two etonogestrel implants in those taking efavirenz-based antiretroviral therapy could increase etonogestrel exposure and improve measures of contraceptive efficacy.
