AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Aims: To explore the perinatal and neonatal outcomes of patients with heart diseases. Materials Methods: Retrospective case control analysis was carried out among 10,527 deliveries, 188 pregnancies complicated by cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared with pregnancies without CVD for obstetric outcomes from January 2000 to December 2012. The effect of cardiac functional classification (NHYA) on maternal and neonatal complications was explored.
Results: The incidence of CVD in pregnancy was 1.78%. About 80.3% had rheumatic heart disease (RHD). Maternal and neonatal mortality rate was 1.06% and 2.13 %, respectively. The obstetric outcomes of women in NHYA class I/II were similar to normal group. Vaginal delivery was the preferred way of birth unless deterioration of cardiac functions as in the cases of NHYA class III/IV. NHYA class III/IV had significantly decreased birth weight, premature birth, and increased maternal-neonatal mortality (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: RHD is still prevalent. The cardiac functional capacity predicts maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Objective: To evaluate whether there is an association between maternal mental health, purchase of psychotropic drugs, socioeconomic status and major congenital anomalies in offspring.
Methods: A register-based cohort study of 6189 Finnish primiparous women who had a singleton delivery between 2009 and 2015. Data on pregnancy and delivery outcomes, psychiatric diagnosis, prescription drug purchases and offspring congenital anomalies were obtained from Finnish national registers.

Aim: We review extensive results from two randomized controlled trials conducted over 9 years, comparing standard care (SC) in level-4 neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) with SC plus Family Nurture Intervention (FNI).
Methods: FNI included ~six weeks of facilitated mother-infant interactions aimed at achieving mother-infant 'autonomic emotional connection', a novel construct that describes the emotional mother-baby relationship at the level of the autonomic nervous system.
Results And Conclusion: Thus far, 18 peer-reviewed publications documented significant positive short-and long-term effects of FNI on infant neurobehavioral functioning, developmental trajectories and both mother and child autonomic health through five years.
Community health nurses' concerns about infant regulatory problems are predictive of mental disorders diagnosed at hospital: a prospective cohort study.

Introduction: Regulatory problems of eating, sleeping, and crying in infancy may index mental health vulnerability in older ages, and knowledge is needed to inform strategies to break the developmental trajectories of dysregulation in early childhood. In this study, we examined the prospective associations between infant regulatory problems at the age of 8-10 months identified by community health nurses (CHN) and mental disorders diagnosed in hospital settings in children aged 1-8 years.
Methods: From a cohort of all newborn children in 15 municipalities in the Capital Region of Copenhagen ( = 43,922) we included all children who were examined by CHNs at the scheduled home visit at the age of 8-10 months ( = 36,338).

Glycemic control in women with GDM: insights from a randomized controlled pilot trial on plant-based Nordic healthy diet versus moderately carbohydrate restricted diet.

Background: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) prevalence is rising worldwide, but optimal dietary strategies remain unclear. The eMOM pilot RCT compared a plant-protein rich Healthy Nordic Diet (HND) and a moderately carbohydrate restricted diet (MCRD) and their potential effects on time in glucose target range (≤ 7.8 mmol/L, %TIR), and on newborn body composition.
