More than the passage of time: neonatal health and active labor duration, the mediating role of chorioamnionitis.

Background: Labor intervention is intended to prevent perinatal morbidity and mortality. Labor durations traditionally defined as "dystocia" affect primary cesarean delivery rates. However, there is mixed evidence about the association between labor duration and poor neonatal outcomes.

Center M Pilot Trial: Integrating Preventive Mental Health Care in Routine Prenatal Care.

Introduction: Perinatal depression is a leading cause of preventable US maternal morbidity and mortality. Although Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Perinatal Depression (MBCT-PD) is highly effective, it faces significant scalability challenges. Center M, a brief, group-based, mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention, is an adaptation of MBCT-PD designed to overcome these challenges.

Collecting Real-Time Patient-Reported Outcome Data During Latent Labor: Feasibility Study of the MyCap Mobile App in Prospective Person-Centered Research.

Background: The growing emphasis on patient experience in medical research has increased the focus on patient-reported outcomes and symptom measures. However, patient-reported outcomes data are subject to recall bias, limiting reliability. Patient-reported data are most valid when reported by patients in real time; however, this type of data is difficult to collect from patients experiencing acute health events such as labor.

One Hundred Years of Seeking Respectful Maternity Care: History and Evolution.

Growing awareness of poor maternal health outcomes and maternal health disparities in the United States has heightened urgency around the need to promote Respectful Maternity Care (RMC) as a fundamental tenet of obstetric/midwifery care and standardize efforts to improve safety, eliminate obstetric violence and racism, and optimize health outcomes for all birthing people. The historical context of prior and contemporary perspectives around childbirth influences our understanding of RMC and are shaped by varying scholarly, clinical, and community standards (e.g.

Failure in a population: Tauopathy disrupts homeostatic set-points in emergent dynamics despite stability in the constituent neurons.

Homeostatic regulation of neuronal activity is essential for robust computation; set-points, such as firing rate, are actively stabilized to compensate for perturbations. The disruption of brain function central to neurodegenerative disease likely arises from impairments of computationally essential set-points. Here, we systematically investigated the effects of tau-mediated neurodegeneration on all known set-points in neuronal activity.
