Objectives: Evaluate knowledge of patients with late pregnancy on active foetal movements.

Patients And Method: This prospective study has been carried out with volontary patients during the 41-week of gestation term consultation, with a questionnaire, at the obstetric gynecology departments of St-Etienne Hospital (CHU), Clermont-Ferrand Hospital (CHU), Roanne Hospital (CH) and Firminy Hospital (CH), from July 22nd, 2013 to September 14th, 2014.

Results: Few patients (17%) have been seen urgently by an obstetrician or a midwife in case of a decrease of the active foetal movements. Most patients (73.6%) wait 24hours to consult. More than 50% of women have not been informed on this topic before the birth. However, 86.84% of the patients are interested in being informed when they see their doctor. The easiest way would be to count the active foetal movements 3 times a day on a short period.

Conclusion: There is still a lack of information on the active foetal movements. It remains a difficult topic because its definition is still subjective and the information has no protocol.

Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is characterized by the inability of the fetus to achieve its growth potential due to pathological factors, most commonly impaired placental trophoblast cell function. Currently, effective prevention and treatment methods of FGR are limited. We aimed to explore the pathogenesis of FGR and provide potential strategies for mitigating its occurrence.

Health implications of mobility during pregnancy entail a need to understand pregnant women's activity spaces. We present ActMAP, a framework for quantifying multiple aspects of activity spaces from distinct trips and stays derived from GPS data. We applied ActMAP to data from 238 pregnant women in Barcelona, Spain (2018-2020) and explored weekday, weekend and intraday associations between pregnancy trimester and activity spaces.

Introduction: Perinatal management of gastroschisis remains a subject of substantial research. Current models, including teratogenic, genetic, and surgical approaches, often fail to accurately replicate gastroschisis, exhibiting limitations such as inaccurate phenotyping, low success rates, high mortality, lack of scientific validation, and significant technical challenges. Refined disease models are essential for improving the understanding of GS.
