Introduction: While the World Health Organization (WHO) advocates organizing maternity care and preventive child healthcare (PCHC) as people-centred, integrated healthcare services, globally these services are often established separately, causing discontinuity of care. Our aim is to synthesize the evidence concerning what impacts parents' experience of continuity of care, and how to promote it.
Methods: Qualitative systematic review.
Adenomyosis is characterized by abnormal uterine bleeding, dysmenorrhea and subfertility. Increased expression of angiogenesis markers in adenomyosis presents a treatment opportunity and was studied in an adenomyosis mouse model. Mice were administered tamoxifen (1 mg/kg) on neonatal days 2-5.

Methods: The study was embedded within the POST-UP trial (n = 1843). Infants' HRQoL was assessed with the Infant and Toddler Quality of Life Questionnaire Short Form-47 at ages 1 month (1 m), and 12 m.
Article Synopsis
- * The project consists of two components: validating assessment tools for early development and parenting, and conducting a longitudinal study to analyze the impact of various risk and protective factors on child development.
- * By addressing the lack of research on young children from marginalized Roma communities, RomaREACH hopes to provide evidence-based insights and validated tools that could inform policies to improve health and developmental outcomes in these communities.
Aims/background: Routine third-trimester ultrasonography is increasingly conducted to screen for foetal growth restriction (FGR) and reduce adverse perinatal and child neurodevelopmental outcomes using timely obstetric management. While it did not reduce adverse perinatal outcomes in previous trials, evidence regarding its association with child neurodevelopmental outcome is absent. We examined whether routine third-trimester ultrasonography is positively associated with child developmental and behavioural/emotional outcomes compared to usual care.
