The burden of childhood and adult obesity disproportionally affects Hispanic African-American populations in the US, these groups as well with lower income education levels are disproportionately affected by environmental pollution. Pregnancy is a critical developmental period where maternal exposures may have significant impacts on infant growth future health mother. We initiated "Maternal And Developmental Risks from Environmental Social Stressors (MADRES)" cohort study to address gaps...
Background: Reduced fetal growth increases the risk for adverse health outcomes. Growing evidence suggests that metal exposures contribute to reduced growth, but little is known about effects of complex mixtures. Objectives: We investigated impact a mixture metals on birth weight gestational age (BW GA) in Maternal and Developmental Risks from Environmental Social Stressors study, predominately lower-income Hispanic pregnancy cohort Los Angeles, California. Methods: Cadmium (Cd), cobalt...

INTRODUCTION: Historically, induction of labor has been associated with higher rates C-section, particularly when the starting cervical exam is unfavorable. However, recent studies have challenged this idea, showing lower C-section for elective inductions in singleton cephalic pregnancies without anomalies at term compared to expectant management. This study aims look rate women fetal who were induced as those expectantly managed. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective review prenatally...
Background: Prenatal exposure to air pollutants has been associated with numerous adverse fetal outcomes.Objectives: We tested whether affect umbilical venous perfusion of the liver and shunting blood from brain in Maternal Developmental Risks Environmental Social Stressors (MADRES) pregnancy cohort. hypothesized prenatal pollution contributes an intrauterine environment alters flow by less more brain.
