Introduction Hypothyroidism represents an endocrine disorder marked by the insufficient production of hormones by the thyroid gland, with significant effects on bodily functions. Its occurrence during pregnancy is of particular concern due to its profound effects on both maternal and fetal health outcomes. Aim To study the impact of hypothyroidism in pregnancy and its correlation with feto-maternal outcomes.

The role of the chorio-allantoic placenta as the critical nutrient- and oxygen-supplying organ to nourish the demands of the fetus has been well recognized. This function relies on the successful establishment of the placental feto-maternal exchange unit, or interhaemal barrier, across which all nutrients as well as waste products must pass to cross from the maternal to the fetal blood circulation, or vice versa, respectively. As a consequence, defects in the establishment of this elaborate interface lead to fetal growth retardation or even embryonic lethality, depending on the severity of the defect.

Article Synopsis
  • Embryo implantation is essential for a healthy pregnancy and is influenced by changes in gene expression and metabolism in the uterus, which respond to hormones and embryo signals.
  • Researchers used spatial transcriptomic analysis to identify that lipid metabolism, particularly pathways related to arachidonic acid, is important in the uterus during implantation.
  • The study found that the COX2 enzyme plays a crucial role in successful implantation, while the absence of COX1 or COX2 leads to impaired pregnancy or infertility, highlighting the distinct functions of each enzyme in this process.*

Article Synopsis
  • Hypertensive complications, particularly preeclampsia, are crucial factors contributing to higher maternal and neonatal health risks in pregnancy globally, marked by high blood pressure and proteinuria, along with serious blood-related issues.
  • A study was conducted comparing coagulation profiles and pregnancy outcomes between 37 women diagnosed with preeclampsia and 37 with normal blood pressure, analyzing various coagulation parameters and maternal/neonatal health outcomes from September 2022 to May 2024.
  • Findings revealed significantly lower platelet counts in preeclamptic women, along with other complications such as increased risks for serious maternal health issues and varied neonatal outcomes, indicating the severe impact of preeclampsia on both mothers and their infants.
