Ultrasonography has proved particularly effective in evaluating the neonate with an abdominal mass, poor renal function, and an abnormal perinatal ultrasound scan. As a noninvasive, nonionizing, and relatively inexpensive examination, it can often make the preliminary diagnosis, streamline the work-up, and be used for follow-up studies.

Objectives: Investigate associations of different family healthy lifestyle scores (HLS) during the first 1000 days with childhood overweight and obesity (OWOB).

Methods: Cohort-specific analyses were conducted on participants (n = 25 006) from 4 European birth cohorts (The study on the pre- and early postnatal determinants of child health and development [EDEN], Elfe, France; Generation R, the Netherlands; and Lifeways, Ireland). Three composite HLSs were calculated: a maternal pregnancy HLS based on prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) and diet quality, physical activity, smoking status, and alcohol consumption during pregnancy; a parental pregnancy HLS additionally considering paternal BMI and smoking status; and an infancy HLS based on breastfeeding duration, age of solid food introduction, and exposure to passive smoking.

Pregnancy and postnatal outcomes for women with intellectual disability and their infants: A systematic review.

Midwifery

January 2025

Social Genetic and Developmental Psychiatry, Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience, King's College London, London, UK.

Background: While the perinatal period is a vulnerable time for women and their infants, it is also a window to promote adjustment and support. Women with intellectual disability might be a uniquely vulnerable group owing to pre-existing health and care inequalities. The aim of this paper is to explore the pregnancy and postnatal outcomes of women with intellectual disability and the health and development of their infants.

Neurons in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus discharge synchronously in brain state-dependent manner to transfer information. Published studies have highlighted the temporal coordination of neuronal activities between the hippocampus and a neocortical area, however, how the spatial extent of neocortical activity relates to hippocampal activity remains partially unknown. We imaged mesoscopic neocortical activity while recording hippocampal local field potentials in anesthetized and unanesthetized GCaMP-expressing transgenic mice.

The effect of maternal risk factors during pregnancy on children's motor development at 5-6 years.

Clin Nutr ESPEN

January 2025

Institute of Biomedicine, Research Centre for Integrative Physiology and Pharmacology, University of Turku, 20520 Turku, Finland; Nutrition and Food Research Center, University of Turku, 20014 Turku, Finland.

Background And Aims: Maternal diet and health may influence a child's later neurodevelopment. We investigated the effect of maternal diet, adiposity, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and depressive/anxiety symptoms during pregnancy on the child's motor outcome at 5-6 years.

Methods: The motor performance of 159 children of women with overweight or obesity (pre-pregnancy body mass index 25-29.

Adaptation to existence outside the womb is a key event in the life of a mammal. The absence of macrophages in rats with a homozygous mutation in the colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (Csf1r) gene (Csf1rko) severely compromises pre-weaning somatic growth and maturation of organ function. Transfer of wild-type bone marrow cells (BMT) at weaning rescues tissue macrophage populations permitting normal development and long-term survival.
