In this column, the author summarizes four research studies relevant to normal birth. The studies summarized include a systematic review of trials evaluating the benefits versus harms of routine artificial rupture of the membranes; a study of the effect of continuous female labor support by a minimally trained family member or friend on attachment and early parenting; a systematic review examining the relationship between cesarean surgery and postpartum urinary incontinence; and a randomized controlled trial of warm perineal compresses during the second stage of labor.

Resveratrol mitigates heat stress-induced testicular injury in rats: enhancing male fertility via antioxidant, antiapoptotic, pro-proliferative, and anti-inflammatory mechanisms.

This study investigates the protective effects of resveratrol (RSV) against heat stress (HS)-induced testicular injury in rats. Climate change has exacerbated heat stress, particularly affecting male fertility by impairing testicular function and sexual behavior. A total of 32 rats were allocated into four experimental groups: control, RSV control, HS control, and RSV + HS.

Th/Th polarisation and suppressor of cytokine signalling-3 (SOCS3) are important indicators of the humoral and cellular immune system activity in cows. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation of postpartum diseases with the levels of Th/Th polarisation and SOCS3 at the time of parturition. The study examined 180 cows (90 with normal parturition [NP] and 90 with dystocia [D]).

School of Nursing, Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing, 400016, China.
Background: Previous guidelines have clearly stated that dance is safe and beneficial during pregnancy and for childbirth. However, due to the small sample size of individual studies and different interventions, there were inconsistencies about the effect of dance on maternal childbirth.
Methods: We included studies evaluating the effect of dance on women in labor.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between DNA methylation of cord blood apoptosis genes and low birth weight (LBW).
Methods: A case-control study was conducted on 50 pairs of LBW neonates and normal birth weight. Genome-wide methylation assay was performed using Illumina Human Methylation EPIC microarray to analyze the methylation sites of apoptosis-related genes BCL-2, CASP3, and CASP8.
Nutritional Value of Black Soldier Fly Larvae Oil in Calf Milk Replacers.
J Dairy Sci

ICREA (Institució de Recerca i Estudis Avançats), 08010 Barcelona, Spain; Department of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Universitat de Lleida, 25198 Lleida, Spain.
Sustainable alternatives to high environmental input feed ingredients are important to reducing the environmental impact of animal agriculture. Protein and oil extracted from cultivation of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae (BSFL) on waste feedstocks such as manure, food waste and plant residues could be a suitable source of nutrients. The oil from BFSL contains large amounts of saturated fatty acids, particularly lauric acid, and may be a more sustainable alternative to palm and coconut oils that are currently used in calf milk replacers in many parts of the world.
