AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how prenatal education affects gestational hypertension, pregnancy adaptation, and both maternal and neonatal health outcomes.
- The research was conducted at Aydin Maternity and Children's Hospital in Turkey, involving women with gestational hypertension who were divided into an education group and a control group receiving standard medical care.
- Results indicated that women in the education group had significantly lower rates of severe preeclampsia compared to the control group, demonstrating the effectiveness of education based on the Roy Adaptation Model in managing hypertension during pregnancy.
Article Abstract
Objective: To analyse the impact of prenatal education on gestational hypertension, adaptation to pregnancy and on maternal and neonatal outcomes.
Methods: The quasi-experimental case-control study was conducted at Aydin Maternity and Children's Hospital, Aydin, Turkey, from October 2013 to July 2015, and comprised women with gestational hypertension. The sample was randomised into education and control groups with the former receiving informative education and the latter receiving due medical care alone. Roy Adaptation Model was used to determine the impact of prenatal education. SPSS 20 was used for data analysis.
Results: Of the 132 subjects, 68(51.5%) were in the education group and 64(48.5%) in the control group. Postintervention, 11(16.2%) women in the education group and 37(57.8%)in the control group developed severe preeclampsia. Subsequently, 44(64.7%) in the education group had no preeclampsia. The corresponding number in the control group was 15(23.4%).
Conclusions: Education based on Roy Adaptation Model proved to be effective among pregnant women in keeping hypertension under control.

Down syndrome (DS) or trisomy 21 (T21) is present in a significant number of children and adults around the world and is associated with cognitive and medical challenges. Through research, the T21 Research Society (T21RS), established in 2014, unites a worldwide community dedicated to understanding the impact of T21 on biological systems and improving the quality of life of people with DS across the lifespan. T21RS hosts an international conference every two years to support collaboration, dissemination, and information sharing for this goal.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a widely used industrial compound commonly found in various everyday plastic products. Known for its endocrine-disrupting properties, BPA can enter the human body through multiple pathways. Prenatal exposure to BPA not only disrupts placental structure and function but also interferes with normal steroid metabolism.

Background: Prenatally transmitted viruses can cause severe damage to the developing brain. There is unexplained variability in prenatal brain injury and postnatal neurodevelopmental outcomes, suggesting disease modifiers. Of note, prenatal Zika infection can cause a spectrum of neurodevelopmental disorders, including congenital Zika syndrome.

Early missed abortion is defined as a pregnancy of ≤ 12 weeks in which there is a cessation of life in the developing embryo or fetus, leading to its retention within the uterine cavity without being spontaneously expelled promptly. This condition is commonly observed and significantly impacts human reproductive health. This study aimed to identify key genes related to ferroptosis that could serve as novel biomarkers for early missed abortion.
