Decreased vascular reactivity associated with increased IL-8 in 6-month-old infants of mothers with pre-eclampsia
CONCLUSION: At 6 months of age, infants born to mothers with Pre-E had impaired vascular reactivity and higher IL-8 and Ang-2, but similar blood pressure and microvessel density compared to infants born to non-Pre-E mothers.IMPACT STATEMENT: Changes in cord blood antiangiogenic factors are documented in infants of mothers with pre-eclampsia and may contribute to offspring risks of adult cardiovascular disease. How these factors evolve during early infancy and their correlation with offspring vascular development have not been studied. This study found that 6-month-old infants born to mothers with pre-eclampsia had decrease...

Have U.S. deaths from pregnancy complications tripled?
Experts agree that the U.S. maternal mortality rate is unacceptably high. And year after year of data show that disadvantaged groups, particularly Black and Native American women, die at even higher rates than women in the United States overall during pregnancy and childbirth.
But controversy broke out last week over just how bad the situation is, when a paper by academic epidemiologists published in the
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology
(
AJOG
) provoked unusual pushback from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The paper suggested a widely reported tripling in t...

Doppler ultrasound of umbilical and middle cerebral artery in third trimester small-for-gestational age fetuses to decide on timing of delivery for suspected fetal growth restriction: A cohort with nested RCT (DRIGITAT)
CONCLUSIONS: Perinatal risk was effectively identified by low EFW MoM and UCR. Early delivery of SGA fetuses with an abnormal UCR at 34-36 weeks should only be performed in the context of clinical trials.PMID:38498267 | DOI:10.1111/1471-0528.17770 (Source: BJOG : An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology)
