The mechanisms of fetal and newborn adaptation to extrauterine life after normal and abdominal delivery were under study. Laboratory and instrumental methods were employed to examine the status of the intrauterine fetus and the clinical picture of the newborn adaptation in the early neonatal period: radioimmunoassays of dopamine, noradrenaline, adrenaline were carried out in fetuses and newborns after normal delivery and after cesarean section performed before and in labor. The results evidence that the adaptation shifts develop later in the newborns after cesarean section performed before labor than in those born spontaneously or by cesarean section that was performed in labor. The same tendency can be traced in the changes developing in the sympathoadrenal system. This result brings the authors to a conclusion that planned cesarean section should be performed after the onset of labor, if possible.

Department of Obstetrics, Division Women and Baby, Birth Centre Wilhelmina's Children Hospital, University Medical Centre Utrecht, Utrecht University, UMC Utrecht, 3508 AB, Utrecht, Postbus 85090, the Netherlands.
Background: Optimizing CS performance is a global health priority, given the maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality associated with both underuse and overuse. This study aims to (1) determine the facility-based CS rate in Suriname and explore which women are most likely to undergo a CS and (2) classify all CS by the WHO Robson classification and analyze the perinatal outcomes.
Methods: An observational, cross-sectional study in Suriname, using nationwide birth registry data that included all hospital births in 2020 and 2021 (≥ 27 weeks of gestation).

Department of Public Health, University of Naples Federico II, Naples, 80131, Italy.
Objective: The incidence of caesarean sections (CSs) has increased significantly in recent years, especially in developed countries. This study aimed to identify the factors that most influence the length of hospital stay (LOS) after a CS, using data from 9,900 women who underwent CS at the "Federico II" University Hospital of Naples between 2014 and 2021.
Methods: Various artificial intelligence models were employed to analyze the relationships between the LOS and a set of independent variables, including maternal and foetal characteristics.

Background: This study aimed to systematically review and perform a meta-analysis on epidemiological studies in order to estimate the global and regional prevalence and to identify risk factors associated with childhood asthma.
Methods: A comprehensive search of the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library electronic databases was conducted for relevant literature published from their inception to March 31, 2023. The primary endpoint was the prevalence of childhood asthma.

Department of Obstetrics, Chengdu Women's and Children's Central Hospital, School of Medicine, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, No.1617, Riyue Avenue, Chengdu, Sichuan, 610091, China.
Objective: This study aimed to identify risk factors for peripartum hysterectomy among pregnancies complicated by suspected Placenta Accreta Spectrum (PAS) in preoperative obstetric imaging screening.
Methods: Data were retrospectively extracted from the Longitudinal Placenta Accreta Spectrum Study (LoPASS), covering pregnancies with PAS from January 2018 to March 2023 at our institute. Patients were divided into Control and Hysterectomy groups based on whether they underwent hysterectomy.

Department of Scienze Dell'Emergenza, Anestesiologiche e Della Rianimazione, IRCCS Fondazione Policlinico A. Gemelli, Rome, Italy.
Background: Improvements in diagnostics and clinical care have allowed more women of childbearing age, suffering from neurological diseases, to safely have pregnancy, reducing peripartum complications. However, these patients remain at risk and are a constant challenge for anesthesiologists in the delivery room.
Methods: To assess the type of anesthesiologic management performed for delivery in obstetric patients with preexisting neurological disease and who reported significant neurological symptoms during pregnancy, a retrospective observational study was carried out between 1 October 2008 and 30 September 2021.
