Article Synopsis
- The study aims to assess syphilis treatment and prenatal care during pregnancy to find ways to prevent congenital syphilis.
- It involved enhanced surveillance across six jurisdictions and analyzed data on syphilis treatment adequacy and prenatal care timing among 1,476 pregnant individuals with syphilis.
- Results showed 42.1% received inadequate treatment, with timely prenatal care linked to better outcomes, although 32.1% of those with timely care still received inadequate treatment, highlighting significant gaps in care, especially for those with substance use or homelessness issues.
Article Synopsis
- Despite recommendations for universal prenatal syphilis screening and effective treatments, syphilis rates in pregnant individuals and cases of congenital syphilis have been on the rise in the U.S.
- Data from Arizona and Georgia show that pregnant individuals with a congenital syphilis pregnancy outcome have significantly higher rates of substance use (48.1%) compared to those without (24.6%).
- There's a need for targeted interventions to improve access to syphilis screening and treatment, particularly for pregnant individuals using substances, many of whom had inadequate prenatal care.
Lifelong exposure to n-3 PUFA affects pubertal mammary gland development.
Appl Physiol Nutr Metab
June 2014
There is growing evidence that early developmental periods may importantly influence future breast cancer risk. Also, there is great interest in the role of dietary fat in breast cancer risk, but the role of dietary fat during pubertal mammary gland development remains poorly understood. This study investigated the effect of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) using complementary dietary and genetic approaches to examine the effect of lifelong exposure of n-3 PUFA or n-6 PUFA (control) on mammary gland development and fatty acid composition.

Much of this research is dependent upon mouse models, which may vary between studies. However, effects may be strain dependent and further modified by diet, which has not been previously examined.

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in particular have been studied extensively, whereas substantive evidence for a biological role for the precursor, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), is lacking. It is not enough to assume that ALA exerts effects through conversion to EPA and DHA, as the process is highly inefficient in humans.

Rhythmic expression patterns of kaiA and of the kaiBC operon normally peak in synchrony. In some mutants the relative timing of peaks (phase relationship) between these transcription units is altered, but circadian rhythms persist robustly.
