Department Of Pediatrics, National Institute Of Child Health, Karachi, Pakistan.
Article Synopsis
- Chromosomal trisomy, like trisomy 16, can lead to a range of health issues, from mild symptoms to serious conditions, often detected during pregnancy.
- Many cases of trisomy 16 result in miscarriages, with surviving infants possibly having mosaic forms that can show various abnormalities, although not all affected individuals will present these issues.
- The case of a 15-year-old boy with mosaic trisomy 16 illustrates mild symptoms and metabolic issues such as insulin resistance and obesity, emphasizing the variability in clinical presentations associated with this condition.

Article Synopsis
- * In a rare case, a mother with pica had elevated lead levels (42 μg/dL at first disclosure, 61 μg/dL at delivery), leading to her infant having a dangerously high level (89 μg/dL) shortly after birth, requiring intensive treatment.
- * The second child was born prematurely with a lower lead level (30 μg/dL in the mother, 32 μg/dL in the infant), but both children exhibited developmental delays and needed early intervention services.
Unplanned births and their effects on maternal Health: Findings from the Constances Cohort.

Unplanned births remain relatively common, even in regions with high contraceptive prevalence and accessible abortion services, such as contemporary France. Previous studies have shown that unplanned births can have numerous negative consequences for the well-being of mothers and children, including poorer maternal health behaviors, delayed and insufficient prenatal care, and depression during or immediately after pregnancy. However, these studies do not provide conclusive evidence on whether the observed outcomes are a consequence of unplanned births or of the conditions in which they likely occur.

Celiac disease is a chronic small intestinal immune-mediated enteropathy precipitated by exposure to dietary gluten, affecting approximately 1% of the global population and two million Americans. An increasing number of studies have identified a link between celiac disease and adverse maternal and fetal outcomes during pregnancy and after birth. Additionally, both celiac disease and pregnancy are associated with an increased risk for nutrient deficiencies, specifically vitamin B12 and folate.
