Progesterone is a hormone responsible for pregnancy maintenance and the amount of progesterone increases in a woman's body during pregnancy, as well as the level of female sex hormones, estrogens are also upregulated. Due to these changes the cutaneous sensitivity to external stimuli (meteorological factors, bacteria, etc.) increases. In general, all skin changes during pregnancy can be divided into three groups: physiological changes (hormone-associated), nonspecific or dermatoses that existed before pregnancy or were triggered by it, and specific pregnancy-related dermatoses, which appear during pregnancy and resolve in the postpartum period. In this brief review, we describe the dermatoses commonly seen in pregnancy and present our own clinical examples. We hope the review will be of some practical help for dermatologists and obstetricians.

Cholecystectomy is the recommended treatment for acute cholecystitis in pregnancy, leading to fewer pregnancy-related complications than non-operative management. However, past research demonstrated high rates of non-operative management despite these recommendations. Rates of cholecystostomy tube usage and outcomes in pregnancy are not well described.

Introduction: Young childbearing sexual minority (SM) people are more likely to use cannabis and to have an unintended pregnancy than their heterosexual peers; however, little is known about their perceptions and experiences of peripartum cannabis use. This qualitative study explores the relationships young pregnant and parenting SM people have with cannabis, as well as their feelings and opinions about prenatal cannabis use.
Method: Participants who identified as SM from baseline surveys of the YoungMoms study were recruited for semi-structured qualitative interviews (n = 13).
High maternal pre-pregnancy BMI is associated with increased offspring peer-relationship problems at 5 years.

Background: Peer relationships are an important aspect of child development that are often overlooked. Maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) may influence peer relationships through intrauterine mechanisms affecting fetal neurodevelopment or through postnatal mechanisms including social discrimination of the obese mother/child. This study aimed to determine the relationship between maternal pre-pregnancy BMI and child peer-relationship problems around 5 years old, including preterm and term-born children.

Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is an important pathogen affecting dairy cattle all over the world by causing significant economic losses due to reproductive and respiratory problems, immunosuppressive effects, increased risk of morbidity, and calf mortality. A cross-sectional study was conducted from February 2021 to August 2021 to determine the seroprevalence of bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) and identify risk factors associated with its occurrence in and around Nekemte Town of Ethiopia. Blood samples were collected from 305 dairy cattle of 41 herds by using cluster-sampling method.
