Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to understand stillbirth ratios and investigate the causes of fetal mortality by analyzing medical records from multiple obstetric care centers over a nine-year period.
- A total of 3,390 stillbirth cases were reviewed, showing a decrease in the stillbirth ratio from 10.74 to 9.31 per 1,000 live births, with common causes being intrauterine hypoxia and unspecified reasons.
- The study highlights a need for standardized investigation practices for stillbirths since many cases lacked comprehensive testing, especially for unspecified causes of death.

Background: Microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) are emerging as a potential risk factor for cardiovascular disease in preclinical studies. Direct evidence that this risk extends to humans is lacking.
Methods: We conducted a prospective, multicenter, observational study involving patients who were undergoing carotid endarterectomy for asymptomatic carotid artery disease.
