Moderating Effect of Changes in Perceived Social Support during Pregnancy on the Emotional Health of Mothers and Fathers and on Baby's Anthropometric Parameters at Birth.

(1) Background: this study is based on a model of how changes in protective factors may affect the emotional health of mothers and fathers and thus influence the development of the baby. Our research goal is to determine whether variations in perceived social support moderate levels of stress and depression during pregnancy and/or the effect of parents' emotional health on the baby's anthropometric parameters. (2) Methods: to achieve these aims, a longitudinal study was made of 132 couples and babies, who were evaluated at weeks 12 and 32 of gestation and at birth.

Psychological distress and resilience of mothers and fathers with respect to the neurobehavioral performance of small-for-gestational-age newborns.

Background: The existence of psychological distress (PD) during pregnancy is well established. Nevertheless, few studies have analyzed the PD and resilience of mothers and fathers during high-risk pregnancy. This study analyzes the differences between parents' PD and resilience and the relation between them and the neurobehavioral performance of their SGA newborns.

Cognitive Functioning and Academic Achievement in Children Aged 6-8 Years, Born at Term After Intrauterine Growth Restriction and Fetal Cerebral Redistribution.

Objective: To determine whether cerebroplacental ratio, an indicator of fetal cerebral redistribution (FCR), predicts adverse results for neurodevelopment in intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) infants.

Methods: In a cohort of 5,702 infants, 64 were IUGR born at term with FCR. Five were excluded.

Adherence to pelvic floor muscle training with or without vaginal spheres in women with urinary incontinence: a secondary analysis from a randomized trial.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is widely recommended as first-line therapy for women with urinary incontinence. However, adherence to PFMT decreases over time, and information regarding barriers to PFMT is scarce. The primary aim of our study was to investigate whether a vaginal spheres device helped improve adherence to PFMT.

Lactobacillus fermentum CECT 5716 Reduces Staphylococcus Load in the Breastmilk of Lactating Mothers Suffering Breast Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Introduction: Recent results indicate that human mastitis and painful breastfeeding may be characterized by a mammary bacterial dysbiosis, a process in which the population of potential pathogens increases at the expense of the normal mammary microbiota. The objective of the present study is the evaluation of three different doses of Lactobacillus fermentum CECT5716 to reduce the load of Staphylococcus in the breastmilk of women suffering from painful breastfeeding.

Materials And Methods: A randomized double-blinded controlled study with four study groups was performed.

Effect of vaginal spheres and pelvic floor muscle training in women with urinary incontinence: a randomized, controlled trial.

Aims: To compare the efficacy and safety of Kegel exercises performed with or without, vaginal spheres as treatment for women with urinary incontinence.

Methods: Multicentre parallel-group, open, randomized controlled trial. Women were allocated to either a pelvic floor muscle-training program consisting of Kegel exercises performed twice daily, 5 days/week at home, over 6 months with vaginal spheres, or to the same program without spheres.

Relationship between severe acidemia, verbal abilities, and behavior in a Spanish cohort of 5-year-old children born at term.

Aim: To determine whether a relationship exists between the markers of severe acidemia (SA) and the developmental, verbal, and behavioral characteristics of children with SA born at term 5 years previously, without apparent neurological impairment.

Methods: A cohort of 76 children-38 with SA (pH < 7, base deficit ≥12 mmol/L) and 38 non-SA (pH ≥ 7.20)-were evaluated using the Battelle Developmental Inventory, McCarthy's Verbal Scale, the Token Test for Children, and the Conners 3rd Edition-Parent.
