Objective: This study aims to assess the external validity of the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) in Swedish prenatal care as an indicator for alcohol-addiction disorders, and to characterize women with mismatched information in healthcare registers.
Design: This study was designed as a National register-based study.
Setting: Sweden.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between telomere length (TL) and peripartum depression (PPD), examining how adverse childhood experiences (ACE) and genetic variations affect this relationship.
- Results indicate that shorter TL is associated with more severe PPD symptoms, particularly at pregnancy week 32 and six weeks postpartum, highlighting a potential biological marker for understanding PPD.
- ACE plays a significant role in moderating the TL-PPD connection, with individuals experiencing greater ACE showing a more pronounced shortening of TL in persistent PPD cases compared to healthy controls.
Phthalates are endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) found in common consumer products such as soft plastics and cosmetics. Although the knowledge regarding the adverse effects of phthalates on female fertility are accumulating, information on the hormone sensitive endometrium is still scarce. Here, we studied the effects of phthalates on endometrial cell proliferation and gene expression.

There is limited evidence evaluating the true incidence of this potential risk and the available literature is primarily via case reports.
Case Summary: The purpose of this study was to identify the incidence and risk factors associated with enoxaparin use (prophylaxis or treatment) abdominal hematomas in a 350-bed community hospital during an 8-month time period.
Background: Preeclampsia in a first pregnancy is a strong risk factor for preeclampsia in a second pregnancy. Whether chronic hypertension developed after a first pregnancy (interpregnancy hypertension) affects the recurrence risk of preeclampsia is unknown.
Methods: This is a population-based cohort study of 391,645 women with their first and second singleton births between 2006 and 2017.
