Preeclampsia is one of the main causes of maternal and perinatal mortality in the world; however, the pathophysiologic pathways haven't been clearly elucidated. It is thought to result from a breakdown of maternal tolerance to paternal antigens in placenta that start an immune response against the trophoblast inducing a defective placentation and a hipoxic/isquemic environment which in turn triggers a systemic inflamatory response. This review gives an overview of the mechanims involved in maternal tolerance, how these are disrupted in preeclampsia, and how they contribute to the inflamatory response.

We conducted a randomized, Phase 2 trial to assess the safety and humoral immunogenicity of reduced doses/dose volume of the standard dose of Ad26.COV2.S COVID-19 vaccine (5 × 10 viral particles [vp]) in healthy adolescents aged 12-17 years.

Introduction: Chemokines and their receptors are essential for leukocyte migration to several tissues, including human milk. Here, we evaluated the homing of T and B lymphocyte subsets to breast milk in response to ongoing respiratory infections in the nursing infant.
Methods: Blood and mature milk were collected from healthy mothers of nurslings with respiratory infections (Group I) and from healthy mothers of healthy nurslings (Group C).

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effects of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) on the risk of pregnancy complications in twin pregnancies and to investigate the relationship between glycemic levels and the risk of preeclampsia (PE) and abnormal fetal growth.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective cohort study of 736 twin pregnancies was conducted at a tertiary hospital. Propensity score matching and multivariable logistic models were utilized to compare maternal and neonatal outcomes between twin pregnancies with GDM and those without GDM.

Background/objectives: The effect of maternal macronutrient composition on the risk of large for gestational age (LGA) neonates among women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is not well understood. This study aimed to investigate these associations in a pregnant cohort in Northern Greece, considering both pre-pregnancy and early pregnancy dietary intake, and stratifying women by pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI).
Methods: From a total of 797 eligible pregnant women, the 117 (14.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) presents significant risks for both maternal and neonatal health, affecting fetal growth and increasing the likelihood of future diabetes mellitus (DM) development in affected women. The dysregulation of metabolic biomarkers, including catestatin, has been implicated in GDM pathophysiology. However, the clinical significance of catestatin in GDM remains poorly understood, particularly in the context of different therapeutic approaches.
