Objective: We present prenatal diagnosis and molecular cytogenetic characterization of mosaicism for r(10) and monosomy 10 at amniocentesis in a fetus with a 10p15.3 microdeletion and a 10q26.3 microdeletion.
Case Report: A 37-year-old, gravida 2, para 1, woman underwent amniocentesis at 17 weeks of gestation because of advanced maternal age. Amniocentesis revealed a karyotype of 45,XX, -10[11]/46,XX,r(10)[6]. Prenatal ultrasound was normal. She was referred for genetic counseling, and repeat amniocentesis at 21 weeks of gestation revealed a karyotype of 46,XX,r(10)[15]/45,XX,-10[5]. The parental karyotypes were normal. Simultaneous array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) analysis on the DNA extracted from uncultured amniocytes revealed a 2.182-Mb 10p15.3 deletion encompassing the genes of ZMYND11 and DIP2C, and a 2.257-Mb 10q26.3 deletion outside the genes of DOCK1 and EBF3. Prenatal ultrasound showed intrauterine growth restriction but no gross structural abnormalities. The parents elected to continue the pregnancy, and a 2425-g baby was delivered at 40 weeks of gestation without craniofacial dysmorphism. The cord blood had a karyotype of 46,XX,r(10)[29]/45,XX,-10[9]/47,XX,r(10),+r(10)[1]/46,XX[1]. When follow-up at age four months, the peripheral blood had a karyotype of 46,XX,r(10) [32]/45,XX,-10[8], her body weight was 5.1 Kg (<3 centile), and body height was 58 cm (<3 centile). She did not have craniofacial dysmorphism. When follow-up at age one year and two months, her body weight was 5.9 Kg (<3 centile), and body height was 68.5 cm (<3 centile). She manifested motor and speech developmental delay but no hypotonia. Brain computed tomography and whole-body ultrasound examination showed no abnormalities.
Conclusion: Mosaicism for r(10) and monosomy 10 at prenatal diagnosis can be associated with perinatal growth restriction but no gross structural abnormalities.

Incidence of Scrub Typhus in Rural South India.

Department of Disease Control, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London.
Background: Hospital studies suggest that scrub typhus is a leading cause of severe undifferentiated fever in regions across Asia where the disease is endemic, but the population-based incidence of infection and illness has been little studied.
Methods: We conducted a population-based cohort study to assess epidemiologic and clinical characteristics of scrub typhus in 37 villages in Tamil Nadu, India, where the disease is highly endemic. Study participants were visited every 6 to 8 weeks over a period of 2 years; a venous blood sample was obtained from those who had had fever since the last visit.
Maternal supplementation with α-tocopherol inhibits the development of offspring food allergy, H1R signaling and ultimately anaphylaxis early in life.

Food allergy has had a rapid rise in prevalence, and thus it is important to identify approaches to limit the development of food allergy early in life. Because maternal dietary supplementation with α-tocopherol (α-T), an isoform of vitamin E, during pregnancy and nursing increases neonate plasma levels of α-T and can limit neonate development of other allergies, we hypothesized that α-T can limit development of food allergy. To assess this, male mice with mutations in their skin barrier genes (FT-/- mice) were mated with wild-type females that received a diet supplemented with α-tocopherol or a control diet.

Ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) is widely used to correct anemia and replenish iron stores rapidly, particularly in Western populations. However, lower doses of FCM are typically used in East Asia, with limited research on their effectiveness, especially in postpartum women. This randomized controlled trial aimed to assess the efficacy of low-dose FCM compared with oral ferrous sulfate in increasing postpartum hemoglobin (Hb) levels and replenishing iron stores in East Asian women.

Unlabelled: To explore whether prenatal conditions (i.e. chorioamnionitis, preeclampsia or small-for-gestational age (SGA)) affect the very preterm infant's response to docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), according to mode of delivery, an independent factor shown to modulate this association.

BackgroundSupplementary feeding, colostrum or, in some countries, commercial milk formula, is given to newborns of women with Type 1 diabetes to prevent neonatal hypoglycemia. Few studies have explored the content of colostrum from women with Type 1 diabetes.Research AimsThis study aimed to investigate the macronutrients in colostrum collected during pregnancy and in the early postpartum period to compare colostrum contents in women with and without Type 1 diabetes.
