Aim: To assess the impact of complementary feeding bottles given at maternity hospital and/or over the first month after discharge from the maternity ward on cow's milk allergy (CMA) risk in breastfed infants.
Methods: Case-control study involving infants aged 6-9 months and who were breastfed for at least 1 month.
Results: In 554 cases with a diagnosis of CMA and 211 controls, feeding bottles at maternity hospital, feeding bottles during the first month of life, avoidance of dairy products during pregnancy or breastfeeding, family history of allergy, intake of antibiotics and consumption of proton-pump inhibitors or antacids by the infant during the first month of life were associated with increased risk of CMA in a univariate model. In a multivariate model, only feeding bottle at maternity hospital (OR = 1.81 [1.27; 2.59]), family history of allergy (OR = 2.83 [2.01; 3.99]) and avoidance of dairy products during pregnancy or breastfeeding (OR = 5.62 [1.99; 15.87]) were independent risk factors of CMA.
Conclusion: Complementary bottles given at maternity hospital to newborns who will be exclusively breastfed increases the later risk of CMA. Similarly, avoidance of dairy products during pregnancy or breastfeeding should be discouraged.

The significance of ultrasound parameters and clinical factors in predicting successful labor induction among nulliparous women.
J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med
December 2025
Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Riga Stradins University, Riga, Latvia.
Objectives: To compare the values of ultrasound and clinical parameters for predicting outcomes of induction of labor (IOL) among healthy nulliparous women with a singleton, term cephalic pregnancy.
Methods: The cervical length, cervical strain elastography, posterior cervical angle, head-perineum distance, Bishop score, and maternal parameters were assessed before IOL with a combined method-Foley catheter and Misoprostol perorally. The main outcome was vaginal delivery.

Context: Recent advances in the development of rapid SARS-CoV-2 point of care (POC) testing provided an opportunity to aid clinical decision making in front-line healthcare settings. Perspectives of POC COVID-19 screening of pregnant women are under-researched.
Objective: To assess the impact of a SARS-CoV-2 POC testing platform implemented in a busy maternity hospital, with limited isolation capacity, during the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Balloon atrioseptostomy for transposition of the great arteries in Europe: characteristics and outcomes.
Rev Esp Cardiol (Engl Ed)
January 2025
Pediatric Cardiology Department, M3C National reference center, Hospital Necker- Enfants Malades, Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris, University Paris Cité, Paris, France.
Introduction And Objectives: Balloon atrial septostomy (BAS) improves oxygenation in neonates with transposition of the great arteries (TGA) and restrictive foramen ovale. Currently, there is a global shortage of dedicated BAS catheters, while new unmarked catheters have recently become available at some European centers. This study aimed to characterize BAS outcomes using the currently available BAS catheters in Europe.

Article Synopsis
- Breastfeeding has numerous health benefits for both mothers and newborns, acting as a protective factor against infant illness and mortality.
- The study aimed to compare obstetric outcomes between women who breastfed and those who did not, using data from two different time periods: during the pandemic and pre-pandemic.
- Results indicated that fewer women breastfed within the first hour after delivery during the pandemic, with non-infected mothers having better outcomes regarding vaginal delivery and breastfeeding compared to infected or suspected cases.
Comparative evaluation of two simulation technologies for obstetric ultrasound trainees' assessment.
Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol
January 2025
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Port-Royal Maternity, Cochin Hospital, Paris Cité University, APHP, Paris, France.
Objective: The objective was to evaluate the performance of two different obstetric ultrasound simulators in assessing the practical skills of trainees compared to the standard method of practical assessment conducted on pregnant women volunteers.
Methods: We performed a prospective observational study. Two simulators were compared: the Simbionix simulator which uses a mannequin and heteroevaluation and the OPUS simulator which uses optical positioning technology with automatic assessment.
