Background: Research on prenatal cannabis use and adverse infant outcomes is inconsistent, and findings vary by frequency of use or cigarette use. We assess (1) the prevalence of high frequency (≥once/week), low frequency (
Methods: Cross-sectional data from 8 states' 2017 Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (n = 5548) were analyzed. We calculated adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR) between cannabis use frequency and infant outcomes with Modified Poisson regression.
Results: Approximately 1.7 % and 2.6 % of women reported low and high frequency prenatal cannabis use, respectively. Prevalence of use was higher among women with small-for-gestational age (SGA) (10.2 %) and low birthweight (9.7 %) deliveries, and cigarette use during pregnancy (21.2 %). Among cigarette smokers (aPR: 1.8; 95 % CI: 1.1-3.0) and non-smokers (aPR: 2.1; 95 % CI: 1.1-3.9), high frequency cannabis use doubled the risk of low birthweight delivery but did not increase preterm or SGA risk. Regardless of cigarette use, low frequency cannabis use did not significantly increase infant outcome risk.
Conclusions: Prenatal cannabis use was more common among women who smoked cigarettes during pregnancy. High frequency cannabis use was associated with low birthweight delivery, regardless of cigarette use. Healthcare providers can implement recommended substance use screening and provide evidence-based counseling and cessation services to help pregnant women avoid tobacco and cannabis use.

Background: The histologic classification of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) as alveolar (aRMS) or embryonal (eRMS) is of prognostic importance, with the aRMS being associated with a worse outcome. Specific gene fusions (PAX3/7::FOXO1) found in the majority of aRMS have been recognized as markers associated with poor prognosis and are included in current risk stratification instead of histologic subtypes in localized disease. In metastatic disease, the independent prognostic significance of fusion status has not been definitively established.

This paper addresses a critical gap in family research by examining the risk of families with young children receiving the Minimum Living Income (MLI) in rejecting targeted social interventions, also known as non-take-up (NTU). We analyze recruting process data from the first invitation to participate in a social benefit including the "Growing Happily in the Family-2" program developed in Madrid, Spain, to their written consent prior to its implementation. Measurements of subjective factors reported as reasons for NTU and objective factors of sociodemographic characteristics and detailed household patterns of prior engagement with social services to study NTU response were based on official records and project data.

Studies have suggested that the administration of epidural analgesia (Epi) and oxytocin (OT) during labor affects offspring outcomes. However, the effects of their combined use remain unclear. This article aimed to review the outcomes of offspring exposed to Epi and OT, identify research gaps, and discuss future research directions.
