Congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) is the leading infectious cause of neonatal neurological impairment worldwide, but the viral factors enabling vertical spread across the placenta remain undetermined. The pentameric complex (PC), composed of the subunits gH/gL/UL128/UL130/UL131A, has been demonstrated to be important for entry into nonfibroblast cells in vitro. These findings link the PC to broad cell tropism and virus dissemination in vivo, denoting all subunits as potential targets for intervention strategies and vaccine development.

Background: Amniotic fluid (AF) plays a key role in fetal development, yet the evolving composition of AF and its effects on hemostasis and thrombosis are poorly understood.
Objectives: To characterize the procoagulant properties of AF as a function of gestation in humans and nonhuman primates.
Methods: We analyzed the proteomes, lipidomes, and procoagulant properties of AF obtained by amniocentesis from rhesus macaque and human pregnancies at gestational age-matched time points.
Introduction: This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of early amniotomy, performed before the active phase of labor, versus late amniotomy, conducted during the active phase.
Methods: Six data sources were screened until April 2024 for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Outcomes were pooled using risk ratio (RR) or mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) in fixed or random-effects models.

The maternal mortality rate remains approximately 4 per 100 000 deliveries. Between January 2010 and July 2024, 629 maternal deaths were reported, of which 590 were reviewed. The Maternal Safety Proposal summarizes these cases.

Methods: Karyotype analysis and single nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP-array) were performed to detect copy number variations in fetal amniotic fluid and parental peripheral blood.
Results: Fetal karyotype showed 46, X?, del (4) (q28q31.
