Obstetric sepsis is a leading cause of preventable maternal morbidity and mortality. Pregnant and postpartum patients in rural settings experience disproportionate rates of sepsis and other forms of severe maternal morbidity. Although there have been recent advances in addressing preventable morbidity and mortality from sepsis in the general adult population, combating excess rates of sepsis in the obstetric population, particularly among rural patients, will require targeted clinical and policy interventions.

Aim: We aim to assess association of DNA methylation (DNAm) at birth with total immunoglobulin E (IgE) trajectories from birth to late adolescence and whether such association is ethnicity-specific.
Methods: We examined the association of total IgE trajectories from birth to late adolescence with DNAm at birth in two independent birth cohorts, the Isle of wight birth cohort (IOWBC) in UK ( = 796; White) and the maternal and infant cohort study (MICS) in Taiwan ( = 60; Asian). Biological pathways and methylation quantitative trait loci (methQTL) for associated Cytosine-phosphate-Guanine sites were studied.

BMC Psychiatry
January 2025
Department of Psychology, Division of Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy, Bielefeld University, P.O. Box 100131, Universitätsstraße 25, Bielefeld, 33501, Germany.
Background: The impact of childhood cancer extends beyond the affected child, significantly influencing the mental health of their families. Since research in psycho-oncology has been carried out almost exclusively in high-income countries, little is known about the impact of childhood cancer on the family level in low- and middle income countries (LMICs). This is a notable gap in the evidence-base, as many LMICs are collectivist cultures, where social and family networks are crucial elements of health care.
