Mixed vulnerabilities: the biological risk of high parity is aggravated by emergency referral in Benin, Malawi, Tanzania and Uganda.

Identification of interacting vulnerabilities is essential to reduce maternal and perinatal mortality in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). High parity (≥ 5 previous births) is an underemphasized biological vulnerability linked to poverty and affecting a sizeable proportion of SSA births. Despite increased risk, high parity women rarely use hospitals for childbirth.

Article Synopsis
- Stillbirth is often linked to decreased fetal movements, but current methods for tracking these movements lack accuracy and can lead to unnecessary medical interventions.
- New technologies, including electrocardiography and accelerometry, are being developed to provide more objective and reliable quantification of fetal movements.
- The review highlights the need for improved fetal movement monitoring solutions that allow pregnant women to maintain their daily activities while ensuring their baby's wellbeing is effectively monitored.
Subsequent pregnancies in the IMPAACT 2010/VESTED Trial: high rate of adverse outcomes in women living with HIV.

Introduction: Women with HIV (WHIV) have higher risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes, particularly in the absence of antiretroviral treatment(ART), and timing of ART may impact risk.
Methods: In IMPAACT 2010 (VESTED), 643 pregnant WHIV in 9 countries were randomized 1:1:1 to initiate ART: dolutegravir (DTG)+emtricitabine(FTC)/tenofovir alafenamide(TAF); DTG+FTC/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) or efavirenz (EFV)/FTC/TDF. We describe adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with a subsequent pregnancy during 50 weeks of postpartum follow-up: spontaneous abortion (<20 weeks), stillbirth (≥20 weeks), preterm delivery (<37 weeks) and small-for-gestational-age (SGA).
The epidemiology and healthcare costs of pregnancy-related listeriosis in British Columbia, Canada, 2005-2014.

This study investigated cases of pregnancy-related listeriosis in British Columbia (BC), Canada, from 2005 to 2014. We described all diagnosed cases in pregnant women ( = 15) and neonates ( = 7), estimated the excess healthcare costs associated with listeriosis, and calculated the fraction of stillbirths attributable to listeriosis, and mask cell sizes 1-5 due to data requirements. Pregnant women had a median gestational age of 31 weeks at listeriosis onset (range: 20-39) and on average delivered at a median of 37 weeks gestation (range: 20-40).

- Genistin, an isoflavone found in soybeans, was tested on 72 gestating sows to see how it affects reproductive performance and immunity by supplementing their diet with 150 mg/kg.
- Results indicated that genistin significantly improved the number of live piglets and reduced stillbirth rates, although it also led to lighter average weights for the live-born piglets.
- The experiment also showed that genistin increased key immune markers in the sows while potentially reducing certain cholesterol levels later in gestation, indicating it has various beneficial effects on both the sows and their litters.
