Screening recommendations for anemia during pregnancy, etiologies of inherited and noninherited forms of anemia, their impact on maternal-fetal outcomes, and the clinical management of pregnant patients presenting with these conditions are reviewed. Anemia during pregnancy can cause adverse perinatal outcomes including preterm labor, premature rupture of membranes, and increased maternal and fetal mortality. Physiologic (dilutional) anemia and iron deficiency anemia are the two most common noninherited forms of anemia, and some cases may be the result of an underlying comorbidity such as diabetes or lupus. Aplastic anemia and autoimmune hemolytic anemia are uncommon forms of noninherited anemias that also merit discussion. Inherited forms of anemia include sickle cell disease, alpha-thalassemia, and beta-thalassemia. Timely diagnosis and treatment of anemia during pregnancy, whether inherited or noninherited, is imperative to protect mother and baby from potential adverse outcomes associated with these conditions.

Low-dose ferric carboxymaltose vs. oral iron for improving hemoglobin levels in postpartum East Asian women: A randomized controlled trial.
PLoS One

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, The Jikei University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.
Ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) is widely used to correct anemia and replenish iron stores rapidly, particularly in Western populations. However, lower doses of FCM are typically used in East Asia, with limited research on their effectiveness, especially in postpartum women. This randomized controlled trial aimed to assess the efficacy of low-dose FCM compared with oral ferrous sulfate in increasing postpartum hemoglobin (Hb) levels and replenishing iron stores in East Asian women.

Introduction: Anemia is a critical global public health issue, especially among women of reproductive age (15-49 years) in low- and middle-income countries. Mozambique has the highest prevalence of anemia in women of reproductive age in Sub Saharan Africa in 2019. This study aims to assess the spatial variation and predictors of anemia among women of reproductive age in Mozambique.

We present a case of rosacea recurrence in a 37-year-old woman associated with the intake of compound vitamin tablets during the preconception period, with a Naranjo score of 7. These tablets, commonly used for nutritional supplementation to prevent anemia, contain a variety of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. Despite their widespread use, reports of such supplements causing rosacea recurrence are rare.

Objective: This article reports the second live birth in China after frozen-thawed ovarian tissue transplantation to prevent iatrogenic premature ovarian insufficiency (POI).
Method: A patient with aplastic anemia received ovarian tissue cryopreservation before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and four ovarian cortex strips were thawed and transplanted into her peritoneal pocket 18 months later.
Results: Pregnancy occurred spontaneously 5 years after grafting, and a healthy girl was born at 39 weeks of gestation.
