CHARACTERIZATION OF THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN BIRTHWEIGHT AND SEVERE POSTPARTUM HEMORRHAGE IN WOMEN WITH DELIVERY AT TERM.

Background: Macrosomia, classically defined by an arbitrary birthweight threshold, is associated with an increased risk of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). However, some preliminary evidence suggests that lower birthweights may also be at increased risk. We hypothesized that birthweight, analyzed as a continuous variable, is significantly associated with the risk of severe postpartum hemorrhage, with the risk increasing not only at higher birthweights traditionally associated with macrosomia but also potentially at lower birthweights.

Chemical Forms of Nitrogen Fertilizers Differentially Influence the Content and Composition of Aroma Volatiles and Phytonutrients in Strawberry Fruits.

The amount of nitrogen (N) fertilization influences the content and composition of phytochemicals in plants. However, the influence of different chemical forms of N fertilizers on the phytochemical profiles of fruits remains less known. We investigated the effect of nitrate [NO; supplied as CaNO], ammoniacal [NH; supplied as (NH)SO], and organic-N (supplied as meat and bone meal [MBM]) fertilization on the profile of volatile compounds, primary, and secondary metabolites in the fruits of Alpine strawberries ( "") using global metabolomic approaches.

Theoretic principles of rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) and loneliness: a multinational replication of Hyland et al. (2019).

Loneliness has detrimental effects on physical and mental well-being, making relevant any systematic means of inhibiting its impact. Whereas interventions based on cognitive behavior therapies have shown efficacy, interventions based on Ellis's rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) have not been systematically assessed. In 2019, Hyland et al.

Episiotomy to prevent obstetric anal sphincter injuries during instrumental delivery in nulliparous women: a national prospective comparative cohort study.

Background: We are lacking data with a high level of evidence on the use of episiotomy during instrumental delivery to prevent anal sphincter injury, which nonetheless presents the highest risk.

Objective: Our main objective was to assess the protective effect of episiotomy against obstetric anal sphincter injury in nulliparous women during instrumental delivery according to type of instrument. We also investigated its impact on immediate maternal and neonatal morbidity.

Predictors, patterns, and correlates of moderate-severe psychological distress among New York City College Students during Waves 2-4 of COVID-19.

The COVID-19 pandemic may have exacerbated mental health conditions by introducing and/or modifying stressors, particularly in university populations. We examined longitudinal patterns, time-varying predictors, and contemporaneous correlates of moderate-severe psychological distress (MS-PD) among college students. During 2020-2021, participants completed self-administered questionnaires quarterly (T1 = 562, T2 = 334, T3 = 221, and T4 = 169).
