Background: Understanding the impact of delivery mode on neonatal morbidity becomes essential in the context of rising Caesarian delivery rates.
Aims: We aimed to compare the selected outcomes in neonates born by low-risk planned Caesarian delivery versus planned normal vaginal delivery (NVD).
Methods: This prospective cohort study examined early, and late neonatal complications among 1071 neonates born through low-risk planned Caesarian delivery and 1367 neonates born through planned NVD, in Fars, Islamic Republic of Iran, during 2012-2014.
Results: Gestational age of neonates born through Caesarian delivery was significantly lower than their counterparts in NVD group. Accordingly, babies' birth weights were 3166 (±442.4) grams in Caesarian delivery group and 3213 (±454.8) grams in NVD group. Normal skin colour at birth was more prevalent in the Caesarian delivery group compared to the NVD group (85% vs. 81.3%, P = 0.04). No significant differences were detected between the two groups regarding birth trauma, birth height and head circumference, and developing infection, icterus and convulsion during neonatal period. Also, height and weight at two years of age did not significantly differ in both groups.
Conclusion: The results of this study show that neonates born by Caesarian delivery and NVD had the same early and late outcomes.

Personalized modeling of gut microbiome metabolism throughout the first year of life.

Background: Early-life exposures including diet, and the gut microbiome have been proposed to predispose infants towards multifactorial diseases later in life. Delivery via Cesarian section disrupts the establishment of the gut microbiome and has been associated with negative long-term outcomes. Here, we hypothesize that Cesarian section delivery alters not only the composition of the developing infant gut microbiome but also its metabolic capabilities.

Article Synopsis
- Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) contributes to higher risks of death and health issues in newborns, making it critical to identify its influencing factors.
- * A study was conducted at three public hospitals in Northeast Ethiopia involving 353 women in labor to explore the factors associated with PROM between December 2022 and March 2023.
- * Key determinants identified included a history of cesarean sections, abortions, previous PROM, chronic cough, malnutrition, suspected sepsis, and urinary tract infections, emphasizing the importance of thorough prenatal care.
Interaction between time-of-day and oxytocin efficacy in mice and humans with and without gestational diabetes.

Management of labor in women with diabetes is challenging due to the high risk of peri- and postpartum complications. To avoid cesarean section and assist with labor progression, Pitocin, a synthetic oxytocin, is frequently used to induce and augment labor. However, the efficacy of Pitocin is often compromised in diabetic pregnancies, leading to increased cesarian delivery.

Background: Neonatal mortality has decreased in Angola; however, it remains high. Quality maternal and child health (MCH) care is key to improving neonatal survival. In Angola, however, the association between neonatal mortality and MCH care has not yet been investigated.

Background/aim: Our study compares repeat cesarian section with and without labor in progress and evaluates adverse maternal outcomes that could discourage pregnant women in planning labor at term or at least after 39 weeks of gestation as recommended due to benefits in neonatal outcome.
Patients And Methods: In this retrospective study, we analyzed 191 patients undergoing third C-section and compared two groups of women of undergoing C-section either before or after the onset of labor. The primary outcome measure was the incidence of maternal morbidity.
