Impaired cerebrovascular CO < sub > 2 < /sub > reactivity at high altitude in prematurely born adults
In conclusion, exposure to high altitude revealed different cerebrovascular responses in preterm- compared with term-born adults, despite similar ventilatory responses. These findings suggest a blunted cerebrovascular response at high altitude in preterm-born adults, which might predispose these individuals to an increased risk of high-altitude illnesses. KEY POINTS: Cerebral haemodynamics and cerebrovascular reactivity in normoxia are known to be similar between term-born and prematurely born adults. In contrast, acute exposure to high altitude unveiled different cerebrovascular responses to hypoxia, hypercapnia and hypoc...

How Did the COVID-19 Pandemic Affect Maternal and Neonatal Health?
Conclusion COVID-19 is associated with low Apgar scores, increased risk of premature birth complications, and maternal comorbidities, with no effect on the PI and proportionate growth of the infant at birth.

Reproductive outcomes of single frozen-thawed embryo transfer in patients with endometriosis after preimplantation genetic testing
ConclusionPregnancy outcomes using frozen embryos after PGT in patients with endometriosis did not differ from those in other women experiencing infertility. However, endometriosis may affect the quality of oocytes, resulting in a higher rate of aneuploidy. (Source: Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics)

Maternal singing sustains preterm hospitalized newborns' autonomic nervous system maturation: an RCT
CONCLUSIONS: The preterm infant's vagal activity significantly increased in the intervention group, potentially enhancing their ANS maturation. The effect is specifically evidenced in the singing condition.IMPACT: Maternal singing affects the autonomic nervous system maturation of preterm hospitalized newborns in the NICU. No previous studies investigated how early vocal parental intervention can affect preterm infants developement, throught their autonomic nervous system maturation. Early Vocal Contact as an early intervention involving parents has a positive impact on preterm infant's development and it can be easily imp...

Association Between the Use of Induction Heating Cookers and Delivery Outcomes in Pregnant Women: An Internet-Based Cohort Study
Environ Health Insights. 2023 Nov 15;17:11786302231211114. doi: 10.1177/11786302231211114. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTThe number of devices that generate intermediate-frequency electromagnetic fields (IF-EMFs) in the living environment has been increasing. As the public has vague concerns about new devices, it is necessary to clarify the safety of IF-EMFs. Therefore, the present study aimed to examine the possible health effects of IF-EMFs by clarifying the relationship between the use of induction heating (IH) cookers and delivery outcomes. The study participants were pregnant women over the age of 20 years who were registe...

Reducing the Rate of Premature Births through Early Diagnosis and Pregnancy-Adapted Treatment of Hypothyroidism
CONCLUSION: The results show an association between more intensive thyroid diagnostics and pregnancy-adapted L-thyroxine replacement therapy and a decrease in premature births. Further studies should be conducted to confirm these results.PMID:38024217 | PMC:PMC10631574 | DOI:10.1055/a-2103-8143 (Source: Geburtshilfe und Frauenheilkunde)
