Impact of Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals, Climate, and Air Pollution on Pregnancy Outcomes: A Scoping Review.

Environmental pollutants, including endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), air pollution, and climate change, are increasingly recognized for their potential impact on pregnancy outcomes. EDCs, found in pesticides, industrial chemicals, and personal care products, are associated with preterm birth and fetal growth restriction, primarily through hormonal interference. Air pollution, notably PM, NO, and O, has been linked to increased rates of preterm birth, low birth weight, and stillbirth.

Neurologic Emergencies in Pregnancy.

Neurologic emergencies in pregnancy require prompt evaluation and early, focused intervention to improve neurologic outcomes for the affected person and to avoid further injury. Neurologic events in pregnancy, although rare, present a time of extreme risk of permanent injury for the person who is pregnant. Therefore, obstetric clinicians should be well versed in the risk factors for potential neurologic events and understand the symptoms and events that should prompt evaluation for a neurologic event.
