Objective: To investigate the risk factors of pregnancy failure in elderly infertile patients undergoing human assisted reproductive technology (ART).
Methods: A total of 565 infertile patients undergoing ART were selected and divided into failed pregnancy group (127 cases) and continued pregnancy group (438 cases). Their clinical data were collected, and the influencing factors of pregnancy failure were assessed and compared by univariate and multivariate analysis.
Results: The success and failure rates of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) in pregnant women were 79.44% and 20.56%, while those of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) were 75.96% and 24.04%, respectively. There was no remarkable difference between them (all P>0.05). Women's age, numbers of embryos transferred and previous abortion history in the failed pregnancy group were higher than those in the continued pregnancy group, while the number of high-quality embryos, BMI and endometrial thickness (EMT) on human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) day in the former were lower (all P<0.05).
Conclusion: The risk factors of ART pregnancy failure in elderly infertility patients are related to woman's age, numbers of embryos transferred, previous pregnancy abortion history, numbers of high-quality embryos and EMT on hCG day.

Background: Effective use of health services by pregnant and postpartum woman (PPWs) is crucial to maternal and child health. Most maternal deaths are attributed to inadequate maternal health services, especially in rural areas. As a vulnerable group, rural PPWs can effectively prevent and reduce maternal and infant health risk factors through whole-process health management and ensure the health and safety of mothers and infants.

Background: Paternal perinatal depression affects 10% of fathers, implying a significant burden on families and public health. A better insight into the population's health literacy could guide professionals and policymakers in addressing these men and making better use of existing healthcare options. It is also crucial for caregivers, as they play a vital role in identifying symptoms, encouraging help-seeking, and reducing stigma.

Objectives: More knowledge about health related quality of life (HRQoL) among mothers with inflammatory joint disease (IJD) is needed to understand the complex challenges for this group of patients. The overall aim of this study was to investigate changes in HRQoL among mothers with IJD from year 2000 to year 2020.
Methods: This study had a comparative cross-sectional design with two study groups 20 years apart, year 2000 ( = 77) and year 2020 ( = 197).

Background: Maternal folate usage is essential for neurodevelopment, but its effects on cerebellar structure are unclear. Cerebellum undergoes a protracted period of development, making it sensitive to maternal nutritional imbalances. Astrocytes are necessary for cerebellar cortex structure and function.

Purpose: Anemia during pregnancy can lead to physical and cognitive impairments, fatigue, and postpartum depression. Dietary fiber, as a prebiotic, supports gut health by producing short-chain fatty acids, which enhance immunity and aid iron absorption. This study investigates the impact of fiber supplementation on hemoglobin and reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent (RET-He) levels in anemic pregnant women receiving oral iron therapy.
