Background: In recent years, the incidence of depression during pregnancy has gradually increased, and the disorder of lipid metabolism in patients with depression is an important research direction. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the correlation between depression during pregnancy and metabolic syndrome (MS).
Methods: A total of 113 pregnant women diagnosed as depression during pregnancy from November 2019 to January 2022 were selected as the observation group. After excluding 3 cases, 110 cases were finally included. And 102 pregnant women who were not diagnosed as depression during pregnancy in the same period were selected as the control group. After excluding 2 cases, 100 cases were finally included for comparative study. The levels of various parameters, including serum triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), C-reactive protein (CRP), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were compared between the two groups. Furthermore, the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was used to evaluate the depression scores of postpartum women. Additionally, the correlation between EPDS scores and clinical indexes was assessed in patients with depression during pregnancy.
Results: We observed that the body weight, EPDS score, the proportion of hyperglycemia, hypertension, and dyslipidemia were significantly higher in the observation group compared to the control group (p < 0.001). Furthermore, the observation group exhibited significantly higher levels of TG, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, FPG, CRP, SBP, and DBP than the control group (p < 0.001). Pearson linear correlation analysis revealed that TG, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, FPG, CRP, SBP, and DBP levels were positively correlated with EPDS scores (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: This study indicates a specific correlation between MS and depression during pregnancy, and MS-related indicators are positively correlated with EPDS scores among these individuals.

Background: Stress during pregnancy and postpartum periods has been associated with short-term cognitive deficits with potential long-term Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk. However, the biological mechanisms mediating these effects remain poorly understood. This study investigated the impacts of recurrent heat and simulated refugee camp stress across pregnancy and the postpartum period on cognition, affective behaviour, and AD neuropathological changes in primiparous rats.

Introduction: Previous studies on the association between recovery from Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection and postpartum depressive and anxiety symptoms had conflicting results. This study aimed to investigate the psychological burdens among postpartum women who had experienced COVID-19 infection during their pregnancies and those who had not.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Taichung Veterans General Hospital in Taiwan from April 2022 to January 2023.

Background: Vitamin B12 (B12), playing the role of a coenzyme in one-carbon metabolism, is an important vitamin necessary for human health.
Objectives: To systematically review evidence to identify the complications of B12 deficiency among women.
Methods: We conducted a systematic search of quantitative studies on disorders associated with B12 deficiency among women, published in English in the last 25 years (1999-2024), using electronic databases such as Scopus, Web of science, CINAHL, PubMed, and Medline.

Background: Perinatal mental health conditions and substance use are leading causes, often co-occurring, of pregnancy-related and pregnancy-associated deaths in the United States. This study compares odds of hospitalization with a mental health condition or substance use disorder or both during the first year postpartum between patients with and without severe maternal morbidity (SMM) during delivery hospitalization.
Methods: Data are from the Maryland's State Inpatient Database and include patients with a delivery hospitalization during 2016-2018 (n = 197,749).

Background: Preterm birth (PTB) is a leading cause of neonatal mortality, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa where 40% of global neonatal deaths occur. We identified and combined demographic, clinical, and psychosocial correlates of PTB among Kenyan women to develop a risk score.
Methods: We used data from a prospective study enrolling HIV-negative women from 20 antenatal clinics in Western Kenya (NCT03070600).
