Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics, management, maternal and fetal outcomes in pregnant patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 25 pregnant women with MDS between June 1998 and January 2013. The clinical data were summarized. These patients were divided into poor outcome group and control group, and regression analysis was conducted to find the risk factors for maternal and fetal outcomes.
Results: Five patients developed premature birth, five patients developed postpartum hemorrhage, one patient developed postpartum acute cardiac failure and one patient developed postpartum cerebral infarction. Twenty out of the 25 patients underwent complete follow-up and 17 newborns were normal during follow-up. The regression analysis shows anemia and gestational hypertension are the primary risk factors for poor outcomes, whereas age, first onset of hematological disease, WBC count and platelet count are not significantly associated with the outcomes.
Discussion: Anemia and gestational hypertension may be the primary risk factors for poor maternal and fetal outcomes in pregnant patients with MDS. To avoid maternal and neonatal complications, a minimum of hemoglobin level >70 g/L, platelet count >30 × 10(9)/L and WBC count >3 × 10(9)/L, are recommended. Close monitoring on blood routine, maternal complications and active supportive treatment are recommended.

Aims: This study investigated the association between maternal age and early and late gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
Methods: In total, 72,270 pregnant women were included in this prospective birth cohort study. Associations between maternal age and early GDM (diagnosed at <24 gestational weeks) and late GDM (diagnosed at ≥24 gestational weeks) were evaluated using a multinomial logistic regression model with possible confounding factors.

Autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) is the leading cause of thyroid dysfunction globally, characterized primarily by two distinct clinical manifestations: Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and Graves' disease (GD). The prevalence of AITD is approximately twice as high in women compared to men, with a particularly pronounced risk during the reproductive years. Pregnancy exerts profound effects on thyroid physiology and immune regulation due to hormonal fluctuations and immune adaptations aimed at fostering maternal-fetal tolerance, potentially triggering or exacerbating AITD.

Background: The balance of omega-6/omega-3 (-6/-3) is crucial for proper brain function as they have opposite physiological roles.
Objectives: To analyze the association between maternal serum ratios of -6/-3 in the first and third trimesters of pregnancy and the neurodevelopment of their children in the early days after birth in the population of Northern Spain's Mediterranean region.
Methods: Longitudinal study in which 336 mother-child pairs participated.

Background/objectives: Studies have shown that chronobiological factors may adversely affect glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. We assessed the association of chronobiological factors with glycemic control and neonatal birth weight in women with GDM.
Methods: A prospective cohort study included 208 women aged 18-45 years with a singleton pregnancy who were randomly selected from among women undergoing follow-up for GDM at the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Unit of a tertiary medical center.

Background: A number of clinical studies have shown a positive association between the maternal -3 PUFA status during pregnancy and fetal and newborn development and health. Despite this well-documented role of -3 PUFAs in pregnancy, data on maternal the LC-PUFAs status during pregnancy in the Indonesian population, to our knowledge, are not yet available. This study reports on the LC-PUFA dietary intake among pregnant women in a suburban population of Bogor City, West Java, Indonesia.
