Bisphenol A (BPA) is widely used in the manufacture of polycarbonate plastics, including infant formula bottles.
The possible connection between coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) remains unclear.1Adhikari E.H. Moreno W. Zofkie A.C. et al.Pregnancy outcomes among women with without severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 infection.JAMA Network Open. 2020; 3e2029256Crossref PubMed Scopus (159) Google Scholar Elucidating these is important both to better understand COVID-19 pathophysiology improve patient care in pregnant patients COVID-19. Our objectives were...
Importance Existing reports of pregnant patients with COVID-19 disease who require extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are limited, variable outcomes noted for the maternal-fetal dyad. Objective To examine maternal and perinatal associated ECMO used respiratory failure during pregnancy. Design, Setting, Participants This retrospective multicenter cohort study examined postpartum required at 25 hospitals across US. Eligible included individuals received care one sites, were diagnosed...
The cerebral cortex is organized into distinct but interconnected cortical areas, which can be defined by abrupt differences in patterns of resting state functional connectivity (FC) across the surface. Such parcellations have been derived adults and older infants, there no widely used surface parcellation available for neonatal brain. Here, we first demonstrate that existing parcellations, including surface-based parcels from samples as well volume-based parcels, are a poor fit data. We...
Objective Angiogenic factors are strongly associated with adverse maternal and fetal outcomes among women preterm preeclampsia (PE) in developed countries. We evaluated the role of angiogenic their relationship to Haitian PE. Material Methods measured plasma antiangiogenic soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt1) proangiogenic placental growth factor (PlGF) levels PE (n=35) compared controls no hypertensive disorders (NHD) (n=43) subjects singleton pregnancies that delivered at Hospital...
<h3>Importance</h3> Two-thirds of women in labor receive supplemental oxygen to reverse perceived fetal hypoxemia and prevent acidemia. Oxygen is routinely administered for category II heart tracings, a class tracing used designate intermediate risk This liberal use may not be beneficial, particularly because neonatal hyperoxygenation harmful. <h3>Objective</h3> To test the hypothesis that room air noninferior improving metabolic status among patients with tracings. <h3>Design, Setting,...
Worldwide, 10% of babies are born preterm, defined as a live birth before 37 weeks gestation. Preterm is the leading cause neonatal death, and survivors face lifelong risks adverse outcomes. New approaches with large sample sizes needed to identify strategies predict prevent preterm birth. The primary aims Washington University Prematurity Research Cohort Study were conduct three prospective projects addressing possible causes provide data samples for future research. Pregnant patients...
Abstract The period immediately after birth is a critical developmental window, capturing rapid maturation of brain structure and child’s earliest experiences. Large-scale systems are present at delivery, but how these mature during this narrow window (i.e. first weeks life) marked by heightened neuroplasticity remains uncharted. Using multivariate pattern classification techniques functional connectivity magnetic resonance imaging, we detected robust differences in related to age newborns...
Abstract Background Maternal health outcomes in the USA are far worse than peer nations. Increasing implementation research maternity care is critical to addressing quality gaps and unwarranted variations care. Implementation priorities have not yet been defined or well represented plans for maternal investments USA. Methods This descriptive study used a modified Delphi method solicit rank at intersection of science through two sequential web-based surveys. A purposeful, broad sample...
Abstract The efficacy of telehealth Virtual Reality (VR) for chronic pain, a promising digital intervention, remains underexplored due to methodological challenges. In 5-week crossover trial, we compared VR matched audio content control in individuals with pain. significantly reduced pain intensity, anxiety, and interference while improving mood sleep quality. Findings highlight the potential telehealth-based addressing real-world challenges managing ISRCTN12473220 (07/18/2023).
