This article aimed to identify the scientific evidence about the educational strategies used to promote prenatal health. This is a systematic meta-synthesis. Analysis of published studies revealed the emergence of two central thematic categories: methodological strategies for the educational activities and; educational tools to promote prenatal health. The most used strategy was health education with pregnant women or couples, using conversation circles and focus groups as methods to target the public. The strategies and educational tools used to promote maternal health in prenatal care seek to anchor the expanded concept of health and to contribute to the construction of varied models of health education.

Diethylstilbestrol (DES) is an estrogenic endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC) that was prescribed to millions of pregnant women worldwide, leading to increased rates of infertility in the exposed offspring. We have previously demonstrated that this reduced fertility persists for multiple generations in the mouse. However, how altered ovarian function contributes to this infertility is unknown.

Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific hypertensive syndrome recognized as the leading cause of maternal and fetal morbidity worldwide. Early diagnosis is crucial for mitigating its adverse effects, and recent investigations have identified endoglin as a potential biomarker for this purpose. Here, we present the development of a hybrid biosensor platform for the ultrasensitive detection of endoglin, aimed at enabling the early diagnosis of preeclampsia.
