Recent years have seen significant growth in the body of knowledge and the development of guidelines on pregnancy loss. This qualitative study analyses how these advancements have been implemented with a focus on health literacy, hospital protocols, and societal responses. Thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews from bereaved parents (n = 11) and healthcare professionals (n = 7) in Italy uncovers significant lapses in health literacy and societal reluctance to address pregnancy loss, which obstructs informed parental decision-making. The research indicates a movement toward more sensitive healthcare, yet disparities remain in the treatment of early versus later losses and uneven psychological support provision. The research underscores the need for standardized practices and combined psychological care for both parents and for reform in legal policies regarding bereavement and maternity leave. Despite progress in institutional and societal approaches to managing pregnancy loss, considerable challenges persist.

The transition period is a crucial stage in the reproductive cycle for dams and is linked closely with postpartum recovery, reproduction performance, and health. The confronting problem in the yak industry is that transition yaks under a conventional grazing feeding regime endure nutritional deficiency since this period is in late winter and early spring of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau with the lack of grass on natural pasture. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of perinatal nutritional supplementation and early weaning on serum biochemistry, reproductive performance, and metabolomics in transition yaks.

Identifying the determinants of pregnancy loss is a critical public health concern. However, pregnancy loss is often not noticed, and even when it is, it is inconsistently recorded. Thus, past studies have been limited to medically-identified losses or small, highly selected cohorts, which can lead to biased or non-generalizable results.
