Cryopreservation of oocytes by vitrification is a promising new technique for assisted human reproduction. Any new technical development must be accompanied with data concerning obstetric and perinatal outcome. This study analysed the obstetric and perinatal outcomes in 165 pregnancies and 200 infants conceived following oocyte vitrification cycles in three assisted reproduction centres. The results indicate that the mean birth weight and the incidence of congenital anomalies are comparable to that of spontaneous conceptions in fertile women or infertile women undergoing in-vitro fertilization treatment. These preliminary findings may provide reassuring evidence that pregnancies and infants conceived following oocyte vitrification are not associated with increased risk of adverse obstetric and perinatal outcomes.

Background: Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy-specific, multisystemic disorder that affects 2-8% pregnancies worldwide and is a leading cause of maternal and perinatal mortality. At present, there is no cure for PE apart from delivery the placenta. Therefore, it is important and urgent to possess a suitable animal model to study the pathology and treatment of PE.

Goal: Housing insecurity is associated with poor perinatal outcomes. However, we lack information on whether supportive housing policies improve perinatal health. Our goal was to estimate the effect of expiration of a state-level eviction moratoria on adverse maternal and infant outcomes among Medicaid insured individuals residing in states with a state-level moratorium in place at conception in the United States.

Aim: In Japan, the fetal heart rate pattern on cardiotocography is usually categorized into five levels for intrapartum management; however, studies on the 5-tier cardiotocography classification are limited. This study aimed to determine the correlation between 5-tier cardiotocography levels at delivery, neonatal Apgar scores and perinatal prognosis using a perinatal registry database.
Methods: This retrospective study used the 2018 Perinatal Registry Database of the Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Problem: COVID-19 during pregnancy is linked to increased maternal morbidity and a higher incidence of preterm births (PTBs), yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Cellular senescence, characterized by the irreversible cessation of cell division, is a critical process in placental function, and its dysregulation has been implicated in pregnancy complications like PTB. Senescence can be induced by various stressors, including oxidative stress, DNA damage, and viral infections.

Problem: This study aims to evaluate the role of the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and the systemic immune-response index (SIRI) in predicting adverse perinatal outcomes (APO) in pregnant women with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS).
Methods: This is a retrospective case-control study at the tertiary center, between January 2015 and January 2023. The study included APS cases and a low-risk control group.
