The thymus is a primary lymphoid organ where major types of T lymphocytes undergo essential developmental processes. Eosinophils are among the cell types present in microenvironments within the thymus, and perhaps surprisingly, the role of thymic eosinophils, especially during homeostatic conditions, remains unclear. Major physiological events impact thymic organization and function throughout life: including age-related involution, pregnancy, and exposure to chemotherapy or radiation.

Introduction: Cancer complicates approximately 1 in 2000 pregnancies, with increasing incidence due to factors such as increased maternal age, obesity and advancements in antenatal testing. Anaesthetists play a crucial role in managing pregnant patients with cancer, both during delivery and in providing anaesthesia for oncological treatments. This review explores the challenges in anaesthetic management and specific considerations for common cancers encountered in pregnant patients.

Background: Previous studies have documented the effectiveness of music therapy in improving adverse neonatal outcomes in premature infants. However, this review aims to address the question of how long listening to music can enhance these neonatal outcomes.
Methods: To conduct this dose-response meta-analysis, we searched the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases.

Introduction: Pregnancy induces physiological changes, including alterations in cardiovascular dynamics, predisposing pregnant women to supine hypotension syndrome (SHS) during lower-segment cesarean section (LSCS) under spinal anesthesia. Various methods, including manual displacement of the uterus and use of wedges or cushions, have been proposed to prevent SHS, but their effectiveness remains variable. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of a novel 3D-printed uterine displacement device with that of a traditional wedge in preventing SHS during LSCS after spinal anesthesia.

Purpose Of Review: A life-limiting fetal diagnosis (LLD) refers to a medical condition identified during pregnancy that is expected to lead to stillbirth, preclude ex utero survival, or significantly reduce neonatal life expectancy. The terms 'lethal' or 'life-limiting' are used to prognosticate early death for various anatomic or physiologic causes, although the expected timeframe is nonspecific. The purpose of this manuscript is to review how the terms 'lethal' or 'life limiting' are used in contemporary perinatal research.
