The purpose of this study was to review current research studies examining maternal responsiveness to locate self-report instruments, and to identify variables in these self-report instruments used to describe maternal responsiveness. The electronic databases, Medline, PsychLit, SocLit, and Cinahl were searched with the following key words: maternal responsiveness, maternal sensitivity, maternal attachment, maternal response, and responsiveness. Articles were obtained, assessed, and agreed upon for their usefulness to the study by the researcher and research assistant. Criteria included: articles must include key word, maternal responsiveness, in the title or a self-report instrument measuring maternal responsiveness. Fifty-two eligible studies were identified from the literature, read by two reviewers and both reviewers confirmed its applicability. All included studies were summarized in tabular form. References with the key words in the title were extracted from the literature to examine the measurement strategies. Specifically, the researchers were looking for self-report measures of maternal responsiveness. The trials identified by this review addressed limited aspects of communication and focused solely on antenatal care. Current self-report instruments do not contain the variables of maternal awareness, maternal recognition, and maternal reflection. Future research is needed in this area of instrumentation and maternal responsiveness.

Analysis of changes in platelet parameters and inflammatory markers in intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy before disease development.

Background: Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is the most common liver condition during pregnancy, associated with adverse outcomes for both mother and fetus. While inflammatory markers are important predictors in oncology and cardiovascular disease, their role in ICP remains unclear. This study investigates changes in platelet parameters and blood-derived inflammatory markers around the onset of ICP and evaluates their potential as independent risk factors.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in the placenta can lead to fetal distress and demise, characterized by severe trophoblast necrosis, chronic histiocytic intervillositis (CHI), and massive perivillous fibrin deposition. We aimed to uncover spatial immune-related protein changes in SARS-CoV-2 placentitis compared with CHI placentas and uncomplicated pregnancies to gain insight into the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. Placentas were retrospectively collected from cases with SARS-CoV-2 placentitis resulting in fetal distress/demise (n = 9), CHI (n = 9), and uncomplicated term controls (n = 9).

Children born to mothers with opioid use disorder (OUD) are at increased risk of maltreatment and out-of-home care (OOHC) placement. This study examines the parent-child interaction quality and home environments of 92 New Zealand children with prenatal opioid exposure (OE) and 106 non-opioid-exposed (NE) children. Experiences for those in maternal care versus OOHC were of particular interest.

Background: Previous studies have shown that higher uterine artery pulsatility index (UtA-PI) values in early pregnancy have predictive value for the risk of preeclampsia (PE). However, the sensitivity and specificity of this marker remain controversial. This study aims to explore further the association between UtA-PI in early pregnancy and the incidence of preeclampsia.
