Objectives: Umbilical artery Doppler intermittent absent and reversed end-diastolic flow (iAREDF) is associated with increased perinatal morbidity and mortality in monochorionic twins with selective fetal growth restriction. The clinical significance of umbilical artery iAREDF in appropriately grown monochorionic twins is not well described.
Methods: This is a single-institution retrospective cohort study describing characteristics and outcomes of monochorionic diamniotic twins with appropriate for gestational age growth and umbilical artery iAREDF in comparison to monochorionic diamniotic twins with selective fetal growth restriction and iAREDF, or sFGR type III.
Article Synopsis
- Premenstrual Disorders (PMDs), including PMS and PMDD, significantly affect women, and childhood trauma may increase the risk of experiencing these disorders and premenstrual exacerbation (PME).
- * This study analyzed data from 391 participants to explore the relationship between childhood trauma and various levels of premenstrual symptoms, comparing those with PMDs, PME, psychiatric controls, and healthy controls.
- * Results indicated that individuals with PME and psychiatric conditions reported more severe childhood trauma, with a correlation between trauma and premenstrual symptoms especially strong in the PMD group, highlighting the lasting impact of early trauma on mental health.
Article Synopsis
- Meconium, the first stool of newborns, has potential as a marker for fetal hormone exposure, particularly testosterone.* -
- In this study, researchers analyzed the relationship between testosterone levels in maternal saliva, cord blood, meconium, and infant saliva, involving 47 uncomplicated pregnancies.* -
- Findings indicated a correlation between meconium testosterone and neonatal testosterone at 1 and 4 weeks, highlighting meconium's value for future research on fetal hormonal influences.*

October 2024
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between maternal work and infant feeding practices and explore the moderating impact of parental stress.
Methods: Prospective data on categorical hours worked and infant feeding practices were collected at 3 and 6 months postpartum in a prospective prenatal cohort of 95 women. Chi-square tests were used to compare change in proportion of exclusive breastfeeding from birth to 6 months and maternal work status.
Article Synopsis
- The study highlights that the Latina population faces significant barriers to seeking care for urinary incontinence (UI), with higher complication rates and disparities compared to Black and White populations.
- The research involved a cross-sectional survey using the Barriers to Incontinence Care Seeking Questionnaire (BICS-Q) among 298 patients to identify differences in care-seeking barriers across ethnic groups.
- Findings indicate that Latina participants had the highest total BICS-Q scores, showcasing more difficulties in seeking UI treatment than Black and White participants, further emphasizing that lower knowledge about UI correlates with higher barriers to care.
