Article Synopsis
- Pregnant individuals with obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m) face longer labor times and have double the likelihood of needing a cesarean section compared to those with normal weight (BMI < 25 kg/m).
- A study aimed to determine if obesity affects myometrial contractility during labor by comparing samples from obese and normal-weight individuals after cesarean deliveries, involving 73 participants.
- Results showed no significant differences in contraction activity or oxytocin receptor expression between the two groups, although there was a noted reduction in prostaglandin receptor gene expression in the obese group, shedding light on the biological mechanisms linking maternal obesity to labor complications.
Objectives: To describe stage, treatment patterns, and survival for glassy cell carcinoma of the cervix (GCCC), a poorly understood rare tumor.
Methods: Clinical data and survival were compared between GCCC and more common histologic types using the National Cancer Database (NCDB) from 2004 to 2017. A retrospective review of GCCC cases at our institution from 2012 to 2020 was simultaneously performed with staging updated according to 2018 FIGO staging.
Maternal stress during pregnancy is widespread and is associated with poor offspring outcomes, including long-term mental health issues. Prenatal stress-induced fetal neuroinflammation is thought to underlie aberrant neurodevelopment and to derive from a disruption in intrauterine immune homeostasis, though the exact origins are incompletely defined. We aimed to identify divergent immune and microbial metagenome profiles of stressed gestating mice that may trigger detrimental inflammatory signaling at the maternal-fetal interface.
