Aim: To identify the barriers and facilitators having an impact on the progression and completion of studies for students who give birth during their midwifery program.
Background: Balancing the demands of pregnancy and new motherhood with the rigorous academic requirements of a tertiary-level midwifery program is challenging for students wishing to progress and complete their studies. Understanding the barriers and facilitators students face when resuming midwifery studies following birth can assist universities in providing educational environments that support students in achieving their midwifery education.

Article Synopsis
- A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to investigate how food sources of fructose-containing sugars affect blood pressure (BP) under different energy control conditions.
- Out of 147 trials involving over 5,200 participants, it was found that excess energy from fructose-containing sugars decreased BP when sugar was added but had no significant effects during substitution, subtraction, or free intake trials.
- The results suggest that consuming fruit and 100% fruit juice at low levels may help lower BP, while high doses of mixed sources, especially sugar-sweetened beverages, can increase BP, highlighting the influence of food source and energy balance on BP outcomes.

- Couples who both have heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia have a 25% chance of having a child with HoFH, prompting the need for informed reproductive decisions.
- This study highlights the importance of counseling from healthcare specialists, showing that one couple chose prenatal testing with a possible termination option, while another accepted the risk without testing, underlining the need for thorough preconception counseling.
