The aim of the work was to conduct serological tests of blood serums of 1782 pregnant women living in Baku for spread of hepatitis B and C viral infections. Results obtained demonstrated that frequency of serologic markers detection among pregnant women had no substantial difference from analogous parameters in healthy donors living in Baku. Biochemical tests of blood serums contained HBsAg or/and anti-HCV. Both hepatotropiс viral infections in pregnant women were not accompanied with biochemical signs of liver dysfunction in the blood.

Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) is used to select in vitro embryos for distinct clinical contexts and purposes. PGT for monogenic conditions (PGT-M), also known as Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD), enables the prevention of passing on a known genetic disorder to one's offspring. Conversely, PGT for aneuploidies (PGT-A), or Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS), is used to improve IVF success rates in fertility patients and increase confidence about the health outcomes of potential offspring.

Background: Matrescence, like adolescence, is a critical period for neurodevelopment characterized by hormonal changes that reshape the brain in preparation for new experiences and subsequent learning. Women exhibit greater age-matched Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk than men, yet little is known about long-term neurological health consequences of reproduction (Buckley, 2019), the defining biological difference between the sexes. We tested the hypothesis that greater number of months pregnant would be positively associated with cortical thickness (CT), particularly in regions within the default mode network (DMN).

A multitude of studies have presented inconsistent outcomes regarding the association between maternal folic acid (FA) and/or multivitamin (MV) supplementation and congenital heart disease (CHD) in offspring. This study aimed to estimate supplementation time and CHD based on a prospective China birth cohort study (CBCS). In the CBCS, 114,670 singleton pregnant women who had pregnancy outcomes until August 2021 and responded to the early pregnancy questionnaire were recruited.
