Objective: To estimate the prevalence of depression in pregnant women, the epidemiological characteristics and associated factors.
Methods: A cross-comparison, with a sample of 220 pregnant women between 18 and 32 weeks gestation. We excluded patients with depression six months before the current pregnancy.
Results: Depressed women were 6.4 %, mean age 26 years and 21.4 % were adolescent. The majority women were high school students (50 %); 71.4 % belong to a low medium socioeconomic status; 21.4 % were without a partner; 35.7 % had depression history in the family and 28.6 % had a history of prior antidepressant treatment.
Conclusions: The prevalence of depression in Mexican pregnant women was low. Risk factors associated to depression were young age, low socio-economical status, a lack of a partner, a history of depression in the family.

Imperial College London, Chelsea And Westminster Hospital, London, UK.
Objective: To compare differences in maternal hemodynamics, measured non-invasively by impedance cardiography and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP)-at rest and with high-intensity exercise-between pregnant women with corrected congenital heart disease (CHD) and low-risk (LR) pregnant controls, and to correlate these findings with umbilical artery Doppler in the third trimester, estimated fetal weight (EFW) and birth weight (BW).
Methods: Prospective longitudinal study with hemodynamic exercise studies and fetal ultrasound between 30 and 34 weeks' gestation. Approval was obtained from London South East Research Ethics Committee.
Prenatal diagnosis and clinical pregnancy outcome of fetuses with conotruncal defects in a Chinese cohort.
Int J Gynaecol Obstet

International Peace Maternity and Child Health Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China.
Objective: This study aimed to explore genetic etiologies of conotruncal defects (CTDs) in fetuses by analyzing the results of different genetic tests and to assess pregnancy outcomes of fetuses with CTD in a Chinese prenatal cohort.
Methods: A total of 146 fetuses that underwent invasive prenatal genetic testing for CTD at the prenatal diagnosis center of the International Peace Maternity and Child Health Hospital between January 2018 and December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. All of them underwent chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) and karyotype analysis, but only 27 underwent whole-exome sequencing (WES).
Hidradenitis Suppurativa Treatment During Pregnancy and Lactation: Navigating Challenges.
Int J Dermatol

Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Koç University School of Medicine, Istanbul, Turkey.
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), or acne inversa, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition primarily affecting skin folds such as the axilla, groins, and the inframammary, perineal, and perianal regions. It is characterized by painful abscesses, sinus tracts, and scarring. Predominantly affecting young adults, particularly females, HS often emerges during reproductive age, and flares are widely reported during pregnancy and postpartum, underscoring the need to consider management strategies tailored to pregnant or lactating individuals.

Background: Maternal psychiatric condition during the perinatal period is relevant to children's cognitive development and mental health. Psychotropic medications are necessary to maintain the mental health of pregnant women with psychiatric disorders, but they are often avoided due to concerns about adverse effects, such as congenital malformations and abnormal neurodevelopment. A retrospective study of pregnant women with psychiatric disorders using psychotropic medications was performed to clarify maternal and child demographic data and to investigate whether psychotropic medications affected the Apgar score and the decision to breastfeed.

Aim: To evaluate the fetal aortic isthmus (AoI) diameter and flow in pregnant women diagnosed with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP).
Methods: In this prospective case-control study, fetal AoI diameter and Doppler measurements were performed in the ICP group (n: 30) and the control group (n: 42). Clinical characteristics, fetal AoI diameter and Doppler measurements, serum bile acid levels, liver enzyme levels, and obstetric and perinatal outcomes were compared between the groups.
