Background: A tertiary-hospital-based retrospective study (2011-2019) was conducted to determine the mediating role of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and abnormal placentations between advanced maternal age and adverse neonatal outcomes.
Methods: Data from a tertiary-hospital-based retrospective study (n= 23051) was used and conducted regression-based mediation analysis to assess the mediating role of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and abnormal placentation between the advanced maternal age and adverse neonatal outcomes.
Results: After adjusting for confounding factors, the indirect effect of advanced maternal age on preterm births, perinatal mortality, and low birth weight mediated by hypertensive disorders of pregnancy was [aOR 4.95 (95% CI: 4.05, 5.85)], [aOR 2.82 (95% CI: 1.78, 3.86)], and [aOR 5.90 (95% CI: 4.93, 6.87)], respectively. The indirect effect of advanced maternal age on preterm births and low birth weight mediated by abnormal placentation was [aOR 6.83 (95% CI: 5.70, 7.97)] and [aOR 4.18 (95% CI: 3.26, 5.11)]. About, 23%, 37%, and 17% of the effect of advanced maternal age on preterm births, perinatal mortality, and low birth weight was mediated by hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, respectively. Furthermore, abnormal placentation mediates the association between advanced maternal age and preterm births by 18% and low birth weight by 23%.
Conclusion: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and abnormal placentation partially mediate the association between advanced maternal age and adverse neonatal outcomes.

Purpose: Women with gestational diabetes (GDM) have increased risk of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (HDP). However, knowledge remains limited for women with high-risk metabolic profiles, regardless of GDM diagnosis. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of HDP among women at high risk for GDM, while simultaneously identifying potential predictive clinical risk factors of HDP.

Objectives: This study aimed to identify clinical features of girls referred to a pediatric endocrinology clinic for suspected precocious puberty, differentiate true precocious puberty from other variants, evaluate treatment status, and identify distinguishing factors between patient groups.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the records of 275 consecutive girls aged 0-10 years referred for suspected precocious puberty.
Results: Among the patients, 30 (10.

Japan is one of the most developed countries in the world, and perinatal care is safe, with low maternal and neonatal mortality rates. However, as birthrate declines, advanced maternal age and the number of cesarean deliveries increases, efforts must be made to maintain safety in the future. The characteristic of the delivery facilities is "many small clinics," and half of all facilities have fewer than 500 deliveries per year.

Introduction: Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) represents a significant clinical challenge, with its underlying mechanisms yet to be fully elucidated. Despite advances in understanding, the precise pathophysiology driving RSA remains unclear. Angelica sinensis, a traditional herbal remedy, is frequently used as an adjunctive treatment for miscarriage.

Introduction: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a global health concern with significant short and long-term complications for both mother and baby. Early prediction of GDM, particularly late-onset, is crucial for implementing timely interventions to mitigate adverse outcomes. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive metabolomic analysis to explore potential biomarkers for early GDM prediction.
