Background: There are many established risk factors for postpartum depression (PPD). It is controversial whether the mode of delivery is associated with PPD. This prospective study assessed the prevalence of PPD among women who delivered normally versus cesarean section and the association between sociodemographic factors and clinical factors with PPD.
Materials And Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, JIPMER Hospital Puducherry, from July 2019 to June 2020. Women without high risk factors for PPD were included. The sample size was 121 in the normal delivery (ND) group and 121 in the cesarean section (CS) group. PPD screening was conducted within one week of delivery and again after six weeks of delivery using a validated Tamil or English version of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). A score of EPDS score ≥ 13 was considered positive for PPD. Univariate and multivariable analysis was done to find out the association.
Results: The overall prevalence of PPD was 27.27%. The prevalence of PPD was higher in the CS (34.71%) than in the ND group (19.83%). PPD was found 2.1 times (OR-2.1, CI 1.2-3.8) in the CS group within one week and 2.5 times (RR-2.5, CI 1.5-3.9) at six weeks of delivery, respectively. Among the social factors, a history of domestic abuse or violence was found to be significantly associated with PPD by both univariate and multivariable analysis.
Conclusion: PPD was twice higher among women in the CS than in the ND group. Domestic abuse or violence was very highly significantly associated with PPD.

Background: Mental health care during the postpartum period is notably underexplored within Asian demographics, with barriers such as stigma, privacy concerns, logistical challenges, and a shortage of mental health professionals that limits access to optimal mental healthcare. Previous studies found that mobile health (mHealth) technology has been offering a promising solution to these issues. However, the perspectives of mothers on existing mental health services and their mHealth needs are still not well understood and warrant further exploration.

Background: Para-phenylenediamine (PPD) is a crystalline solid that belongs to the aromatic amine group, widely used in the manufacturing of various dyes. PPD exhibits toxic effects on female hormone stability, ovarian function, and embryo development. Although studies have shown that PPD exposure can damage oocyte quality in female mice, research on its effects on male reproductive capability, particularly on human sperm quality and function, is limited.

p-phenylenediamine antioxidants (PPDs) are extensively used in rubber manufacturing for their potent antioxidative properties, but PPDs and 2-anilino-5-[(4-methylpentan-2yl)amino]cyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione (6PPDQ) pose potential environmental and health risks. Existing biomonitoring methods for assessing human exposure to PPDs are labor-intensive, costly, and provide limited data. Thus, there is a critical need to develop predictive models for evaluating PPDs and 6PPDQ exposure levels to facilitate health risk assessments.

Aim: Uncontrolled chronic inflammatory diseases (CIDs) before, during, and after pregnancy, as well as some CID medications, can increase the risk of impaired fertility in addition to adverse maternal/pregnancy outcomes in women of childbearing age. We report pregnancy outcomes from prospectively reported pregnancies in Japanese women treated with certolizumab pegol (CZP).
Methods: Data from July 2001 to November 2020 on CZP-exposed pregnancies from the CZP Pharmacovigilance safety database were reviewed.
