Punishing Women for Miscarriage: The role of Political Orientation and Hostile Sexism
AbstractWomen ’s reproductive autonomy is an ideologically divisive issue, and this divisiveness goes beyond just attitudes toward abortion to include other outcomes such as miscarriage. Previous research has established that hostile sexism is positively associated with punitive attitudes toward pregnant women who flout conventional pregnancy proscriptions. Across three studies (N1 = 296;N2 = 580,N3 = 308) we conceptually replicated this research while shifting the focus from abstract attitudes to concrete policies punishing women for miscarriage, and moving beyond hostile sexism to examine the role of politi...

Endocan: A biomarker for endothelial dysfunction and inflammation, linking maternal obesity and pediatric obesity in a cohort of preterm neonates
The prevalence of obesity in reproductive aged women in the United States is approaching 40 %, and is thus the most common risk factor for pregnancy complications [1,2]. It has been well established that maternal obesity in pregnancy is associated with increased risks for the mother and the neonate. Maternal risks include gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, sleep apnea, cesarean section , venous thromboembolism, wound dehiscence, and epidural anesthesia failure [2,3]. Fetal and neonatal risks include congenital anomalies, difficulty in ultrasonographic diagnosis of anomalies, increased likelihood of cell free fetal DNA ...

Considering belimumab during pregnancy: A more viable option over time
CONCLUSIONS: Belimumab may be an option for pregnant women with difficult-to-control lupus. Further research is needed to confirm the absence of association between belimumab and foetal harm.PMID:38594808 | DOI:10.1177/09612033241245549 (Source: Lupus)

Maternal and fetal outcomes in pregnancy complicated by pre-existing lupus nephritis: Insights from a developing country Pakistan
CONCLUSION: The maternal and fetal outcomes in pre-existing LN depend on the disease activity at the time of conception. No correlation was found between International Society of Nephrology/Renal Pathology Society (ISN/RPS) classes of LN and adverse disease and pregnancy outcomes.PMID:38594605 | DOI:10.1177/09612033241246642 (Source: Lupus)

SLC38A2 promotes cell proliferation and invasion by promoting glutamine metabolism in adenomyosis
Exp Ther Med. 2024 Mar 21;27(5):218. doi: 10.3892/etm.2024.12506. eCollection 2024 May.ABSTRACTAdenomyosis is a benign uterine disorder that is associated with female infertility, a reduced clinical pregnancy rate and a high risk of miscarriage. Solute carrier family 38 member a2 (SLC38A2) is a glutamine (Gln) transporter that serves roles in various medical conditions. The present study aimed to reveal the role of SLC38A2 in adenomyosis. The mRNA expression levels of SLC38A2 in eutopic endometrial (EU) and ectopic endometrial (EC) tissues from adenomyotic patients were examined by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. E...

A population-based cohort of drug exposures and adverse pregnancy outcomes in China (DEEP): rationale, design, and baseline characteristics
AbstractThe DEEP cohort is the first population-based cohort of pregnant population in China that longitudinally documented drug uses throughout the pregnancy life course and adverse pregnancy outcomes. The main goal of the study aims to monitor and evaluate the safety of drug use through the pregnancy life course in the Chinese setting. The DEEP cohort is developed primarily based on the population-based data platforms in Xiamen, a municipal city of 5 million population in southeast China. Based on these data platforms, we developed a pregnancy database that documented health care services and outcomes in the maternal a...

Clinical outcomes and future fertility after uterine artery embolization for postpartum and post-abortion hemorrhage
CONCLUSION: UAE is an effective treatment for PPH and PAH. Although UAE could preserve future fertility, careful attention should be paid to perinatal management for unusual complications.PMID:38584381 | DOI:10.1177/02841851241244489 (Source: Acta Radiologica)

Internal validation of gestational age estimation algorithms in healthcare databases using pregnancies conceived with fertility procedures
Am J Epidemiol. 2024 Apr 6:kwae045. doi: 10.1093/aje/kwae045. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFertility procedures recorded in healthcare databases can be used to estimate the start of pregnancy, which can serve as a reference standard to validate gestational age estimates based on International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes. In a cohort of 17,398 pregnancies conceived by fertility procedures in MarketScan (2011-2020), we estimated gestational age at the end of pregnancy using algorithms based on (1) days since fertility procedure (the reference); (2) ICD-9/ICD-10 (before/after October 2015) codes indicating gestati...
