Aim: Perinatal mortality can be used as a reference to assess health status in a country. In Indonesia, none of previous studies specifically discuss the incidence of prenatal mortality by region. The objective of this study was to analyze perinatal mortality difference by region of Indonesia.
Study Design: This study used a cross-sectional approach.
Method: The sample in this study was 13,310 women of childbearing age obtained from the Indonesian Demographic Health Survey (IDHS) 2017. The perinatal mortality rate was calculated using data on stillbirths with a gestational duration of seven months or more and early neonatal deaths. Perinatal mortality was analyzed by region using a binary logistic regression statistical test to examine the relationship between perinatal mortality and its factors (socio-demographic factors, individual disease control factors, and maternal factors).
Results: This study shows that the proportion of perinatal mortality in Indonesia is 1.5 % of total births. The highest proportion of perinatal mortality (2.5 %) was in the Papua region, while the lowest proportion (1.3 %) was in the Java region. The results of this study indicated that women in the Maluku Islands had a 1.82 times higher chance of perinatal mortality compared to the Java-Bali region. The causative variable associated with perinatal mortality in the Java-Bali and Papua regions was employment status. The causative variables associated with perinatal mortality in Kalimantan were the quality of antenatal care and delivery assistance. The causative variable associated with perinatal mortality in Nusa Tenggara and Papua was the location of delivery. The causative variable associated with perinatal mortality in Kalimantan, Maluku, and Papua was the mother's age. The causative variable associated with perinatal mortality in the Java-Bali region was parity. The causative variable associated with perinatal mortality in Sumatra was the type of delivery.
Conclusion: This study show that there were disparities in the incidence of perinatal mortality between regions in Indonesia. The government needs to re-adjust the existing strategies to improve health status and focus on community empowerment for women to prevent perinatal mortality.

Prognosis for fetuses with isolated severe growth retardation from 23 gestational weeks with an initial assessment unfavorable to an active management.

Objective: To study perinatal outcomes for newborns with early, isolated, severe FGR, for whom initial active management was considered unreasonable or impossible at an obstetric-pediatric assessment and to identify the determinants associated with a course that made active management reasonable.
Material And Methods: This retrospective observational single-center study occurred in a level-3 university hospital maternity unit. It included all pregnancies with a singleton fetus presenting isolated FGR <3rd percentile at 23 weeks or more of gestation with an obstetric-pediatric assessment (OPA) initially unfavorable to active management.
Association between cerebrospinal fluid levels of neuro-specific enolase after hypothermia alone and in combination with neurodevelopmental outcomes at age six years.

Background: Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is still associated with death and sequelae including cerebral palsy and intellectual disability despite induced hypothermia. Biomarkers, as early predictive indicators of adverse outcomes, are lacking.
Aims: To investigate whether post-rewarming cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-neuro-specific enolase (NSE) levels after hypothermia are associated with neurodevelopmental outcomes at age six years, alone or when combined with amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as neuroimaging and neurophysiological indicators, respectively.
Maternal Chronic Physical Conditions and Alcohol and Substance Use Disorders in the Preconception and Perinatal Periods.

Chronic physical conditions (CPC) and alcohol and substance use disorders (SUD) frequently co-occur, but this has not been examined perinatally. We explored the combined effects of CPC and prepregnancy SUD on perinatal SUD-related adverse events and outpatient care. This population-based study comprised 77,474 people with and 664,751 without CPC with a birth in Ontario, Canada, 2013-2020.

The tightly-regulated spatial and temporal distribution of zinc ion concentrations within cellular compartments is controlled by two groups of Zn transporters: the 14-member ZIP/SLC39 family, facilitating Zn influx into the cytoplasm from the extracellular space or intracellular organelles; and the 10-member ZnT/SLC30 family, mobilizing Zn in the opposite direction. Genetic aberrations in most zinc transporters cause human syndromes. Notably, previous studies demonstrated osteopenia and male-specific cardiac death in mice lacking the ZnT5/ zinc transporter, and suggested association of two homozygous frameshift variants with perinatal mortality in humans, due to hydrops fetalis and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Background: Cows that develop metritis experience dysbiosis of their uterine microbiome, where opportunistic pathogens overtake uterine commensals. An effective immune response is critical for maintaining uterine health. Nonetheless, periparturient cows experience immune dysregulation, which seems to be intensified by prepartum over-condition.
