Treatment of the double nuclear complex , di-μ-cloro-bis[N-(4-formylbenzylidene)cyclohexylaminato-C6, N]dipalladium, with PhPCHCH)PPh (triphos) and NHPF gave the single nuclear species , 1-N-(cyclohexylamine)-4-N-(formyl)palladium(triphos)(hexafluorophasphate). Reaction of with PhPCHCHNH in refluxing chloroform via a condensation reaction of the amine and formyl groups to produce the C=N double bond, gave , 1-N-(cyclohexylamine)-4- N-(diphenylphosphinoethylamine)palladium(triphos)(hexafluorophasphate); a potentially bidentate [,] metaloligand. However, attempts to coordinate a second metal by treatment of 3a with [PdCl(PhCN)] were to no avail.

Objectives: Elevated circulating levels of complement component 3 (C3) and C-reactive protein (CRP) have been linked with adverse pregnancy outcomes. Lifestyle interventions may hold potential to ameliorate these effects. We investigated the effect of an antenatal healthy lifestyle intervention on maternal C3 and CRP concentrations and assessed their relationship with maternal and fetal metabolic markers and outcomes.

Background: Vitamin D status may play a role in the development of atopic diseases due to its action on lung development and immune system development and function.

Aims: Our objective was to assess whether 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) levels in maternal blood in pregnancy were associated with atopy in children.

Methods: We analysed 279 mother-child pairs from the ROLO study conducted in Dublin, Ireland.

Objectives: To identify if maternal educational attainment is a prognostic factor for gestational weight gain (GWG), and to determine the differential effects of lifestyle interventions (diet based, physical activity based or mixed approach) on GWG, stratified by educational attainment.

Design: Individual participant data meta-analysis using the previously established International Weight Management in Pregnancy (i-WIP) Collaborative Group database (https://iwipgroup.wixsite.
