First ‐trimester exposure to tofacitinib in ulcerative colitis: A case report of a healthy newborn and literature review
We present a patient with ulcerative colitis on tofacitinib who had an unplanned pregnancy. Tofacitinib was ceased, switched to vedolizumab, and she gave birth to a healthy newborn at term. Case reports of reassuring outcomes provide real-world data that assists decision-making for future patients. (Source: Clinical Case Reports)

Associations between gestational weight gain and weight development of the offspring: Differences depending on maternal pre-pregnancy BMI
ConclusionWomen with o/o might increase their offspring ’s risk for higher weight at birth and in early childhood. In n/u women, GWG might be the more influential factor. Women should strive for normal weight before conception and should be more attentive to GWG. (Source: Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics)

Cost-effectiveness of BRCA1 testing at time of obstetrical prenatal carrier screening for cancer prevention
Improved technologies paired with an increase in access to genetic testing has led to the availability of expanded carrier screening evaluating hundreds of disorders. Currently, most autosomal dominant mutations, such as BRCA1, are not included in expanded carrier assays. Screening pregnant or preconception reproductive-aged women for BRCA1 may present a unique opportunity to perform population-based screening for patients at a time where precancer screening, chemoprevention and/or risk reducing surgery may be beneficial.

Senolytic treatment fails to improve ovarian reserve or fertility in female mice
AbstractSenescent cell number increases with age in different tissues, leading to greater senescent cell load, proinflammatory stress, and tissue dysfunction. In the current study, we tested the efficacy of senolytic drugs to reduce ovarian senescence and improve fertility in reproductive age female mice. In the first experiment, 1-month-old C57BL/6 female mice were treated every other week with D + Q (n = 24) or placebo (n = 24). At 3 and 6 months of age, female mice were mated with untreated males to evaluate pregnancy rate and litter size. In the second experiment, 6-month-old C57BL/6 female mice were trea...

Low back pain and kinesiophobia in pregnant women
CONCLUSION: LBP in pregnant women has a higher frequency than in the normal population, regardless of age, gestational week, and gravida. Obesity appears to be a risk factor for LBP and increases disability. Kinesiophobia in pregnant women is significantly associated with obesity and disability. Unless there are contraindications, a physically active pregnancy process and regular exercise should be recommend.PMID:38607751 | DOI:10.3233/BMR-240006 (Source: Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation)

NADPH oxidase-generated reactive oxygen species are involved in estradiol 17 ß-d-glucuronide-induced cholestasis
Biochimie. 2024 Apr 10;223:41-53. doi: 10.1016/j.biochi.2024.04.002. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe endogenous metabolite of estradiol, estradiol 17β-D-glucuronide (E17G), is considered the main responsible of the intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy. E17G alters the activity of canalicular transporters through a signaling pathway-dependent cellular internalization, phenomenon that was attributed to oxidative stress in different cholestatic conditions. However, there are no reports involving oxidative stress in E17G-induced cholestasis, representing this the aim of our work. Using polarized hepatocyte cultures, we sho...
