According to the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease hypothesis, the environment in which a fetus develops before birth has a profound impact on a child s long-term health. An adverse environment in the womb can lead to permanent changes in the structure and function of various organ systems, with possible negative long-term health consequences. In the Generation R Study, a longitudinal, observational cohort study in Rotterdam, these long-term effects of prenatal exposure are investigated. A few relationships were found, including between parental weight and the risk of overweight in the child, exposure to certain phthalates and the risk of obesity and early puberty in the child, and between a higher maternal serum 25(OH)D concentration during pregnancy and less caries in the child. The results enable interventions at the level of the general population, such as the Dutch government s Promising Start action programme.

Frailty Trajectories Following Adjuvant Chemotherapy and Mortality in Older Women With Breast Cancer.
JAMA Netw Open
March 2025
Department of Epidemiology, Gillings School of Global Public Health, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill.
Importance: Frailty assessed at a single time point is associated with mortality in older women with breast cancer. Little is known about how changes in frailty following cancer treatment initiation affect mortality.
Objective: To evaluate the association between claims-based frailty trajectories following adjuvant chemotherapy initiation and 5-year mortality in older women with stage I to III breast cancer.
Quantitative Evaluation of Changes in Retinal and Choroidal Blood Flow Following Strabismus Surgery.

Department of Ophthalmology, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine, Nagoya, Japan.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of extraocular muscle recession performed as part of strabismus surgery on posterior retinal and choroidal blood flow.
Methods: A single-center prospective study was conducted on patients who underwent strabismus surgery. Optical coherence tomography, optical coherence tomography angiography, and laser speckle flowgraphy of the macula were performed before surgery and at one week, one month, and four months after surgery.
Antitumor efficacy of intermittent low-dose erlotinib plus sulindac via MHC upregulation and remodeling of the immune cell niche.

A previously reported clinical trial in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) patients treated with erlotinib plus sulindac (ERL + SUL) highlighted immune response/interferon-γ signaling as a key pathway. In this study, we combine intermittent low-dose ERL ± SUL treatment in the polyposis in rat colon (Pirc) model with mechanistic studies on tumor-associated immune modulation. At clinically relevant doses, short-term (16 weeks) and long-term (46 weeks) ERL ± SUL administration results in near-complete tumor suppression in Pirc colon and duodenum (p < 0.

Calcinosis is an intractable condition in juvenile dermatomyositis. The effect of abatacept on calcinosis remains controversial. We describe a case of an 8-year-old boy in whom the addition of abatacept to mycophenolate mofetil was effective against calcinosis in juvenile dermatomyositis.

Purpose Of Review: Traumatic childbirth can lead to childbirth-related post-traumatic stress disorder (CB-PTSD) or retraumatize those with prior trauma, contributing to long-term maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. This condition affects approximately 4-7% of postpartum patients. Given the concerningly high maternal morbidity and mortality rates in the USA, it is crucial to further analyze the risk factors and clinical management recommendations for the prevention of CB-PTSD.
