Previous studies have focused on demographic factors that might predict non-completion of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR). We aimed to identify key modifiable factors that promote completion of PR. A mixed methods survey was offered to participants completing a discharge assessment following PR.

This study reports on massively parallel sequencing (MPS) using a red cell and platelet probe panel targeting multiple nucleotide variants, plus individual identification single nucleotide polymorphisms (IISNPs). Maternal blood samples were provided from 33 alloimmunised cases, including seven with two red cell antibodies.

- A phase 2 clinical trial evaluated the safety and effectiveness of a maternal RSV vaccine (RSVPreF3) in 213 healthy pregnant women, focusing on its impact during late pregnancy and its effects on newborns.
- The vaccine was well tolerated with no significant adverse events linked to it, demonstrating significant increases in mothers' RSV-specific neutralizing antibodies compared to a placebo.
- Results showed successful transfer of protective antibodies to newborns, with antibody levels in infants highest at birth, supporting the vaccine's promise for maternal immunization against RSV.
Background: Delayed reporting of decreased fetal movements (DFM) could represent a missed opportunity to prevent stillbirth. Mobile phone applications (apps) have the potential to improve maternal awareness and reporting of DFM and contribute to stillbirth prevention.
Aims: To evaluate the effectiveness of the My Baby's Movements (MBM) app on late-gestation stillbirth rates.
Introduction: The authors aim to review the early outcomes of fetostopic laser ablation (FLA) to improve outcomes for twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) in an emerging national centre in Malaysia.
Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of 17 monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twin pregnancies with severe TTTS treated by FLA over 15 months in a single centre by a single operator after performing simulations.
Result: The overall survival rate at day 28 after birth for at least one twin was 76% while the dual-twin survival was 64%.
