Objective: We aimed to study myocardial functions of infants appropriate and large for gestational age (IDM-AGA, IDM-LGA) of diabetic mothers (IDM) and AGA and LGA infants of non-diabetic mothers comparatively.
Methods: Newborns were assessed between 24 and 72 h. M-Mode, pulsed wave, and tissue Doppler echocardiography were performed.
Results: A negative correlation was found between shortening fraction and maternal weight at delivery in the LGA group (p=0.009, r=-0.58). E/Early diastolic (E') ratio and deceleration time were increased in IDM-AGA than AGA group (p=0.02, p=0.02). There was a negative correlation between maternal blood glucose and E/A ratio (p=0.015 r=-0.63), a positive correlation between maternal blood glucose and mitral A, late diastolic (A') wave in IDM-AGA (p=0.014 r=0.63, p=0.016 r=0.62). Maternal weight gain during pregnancy was in correlation with measured and tei index in IDM-AGA group (p=0.008 r=0.72). Maternal age, pre-pregnancy weight, and weight at delivery and mitral E were higher in IDM-LGA group than IDM-AGA (p=0.03, p=0.01, p=0.003, p=0.012).
Conclusion: We found that maternal weight has a negative effect on myocardial function in LGA newborns. Diastolic functions were found impaired in IDM-AGA infants and in infants of mothers with high blood glucose. Maternal weight gain during pregnancy has a negative effect on myocardial functions.

Causal association between gut microbiome and polycystic ovary syndrome: A bidirectional Mendelian randomization study.
Afr J Reprod Health

Through implementing a bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) study, the causal effects between gut microbiome and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) were analyzed. Summary statistics for PCOS were acquired from the FinnGen consortium R8 release data, which included 27,943 cases and 162,936 controls. The inverse-variance weighting (IVW) method was adopted for analysis.

Background And Objectives: Donor human milk (DHM) from a human milk bank (HMB) is used to feed low-birthweight (LBW) and preterm infants when mothers cannot provide their own breastmilk. The misuse of DHM could interfere with mothers' breastmilk and weaken breastfeeding efforts. This study aimed to identify factors behind prolonged DHM usage during the first six years of Vietnam's first HMB.

Background: The Roma are a socioeconomically disadvantaged, marginalized community with reduced access to education, social services, and healthcare. Despite the known health risks they are exposed to, we have limited data about a wide range of health outcomes in this population, including vitamin D deficiency. The aim of this study was to investigate prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and its impact on the anthropometric outcomes of newborns in a group of Roma mothers and their infants in Romania.

An increasing number of studies highlight the critical role of both maternal and paternal nutrition and body weight before conception in shaping offspring health. Traditionally, research has focused on maternal factors, particularly in utero exposures, as key determinants of chronic disease development. However, emerging evidence underscores the significant influence of paternal preconception health on offspring metabolic outcomes.

: The clinical and laboratory features of patients with non-criteria obstetric antiphospholipid syndrome (NC-OAPS), as well as their pregnancy outcomes and ideal treatment are not clearly determined. The aim of this study is to describe the characteristics and outcomes of pregnancies in NC-OAPS and compare them with an obstetric APS (OAPS) cohort. : This is a retrospective study conducted on a cohort of women referred to a high-risk obstetric unit of a tertiary hospital.
