The study group consisted of 130 subjects: 50 healthy nonpregnant, 35 healthy women in the I trimester of gestation (gestational age 6-15 weeks) and 45 patients with symptoms of threatened abortion (the same gestational age). In the latter group pain and bleeding ceased after hormonal treatment and spasmolytic drugs. Serum blood concentration of following compounds were determined: total lipids, LDL fraction, total cholesterol, phospholipids, triglycerides, HDL and LDL cholesterol fractions. Threatened abortion had changed lipids profile; diminished concentrations of LDL fraction, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol fraction and phospholipids were observed. Levels of total lipids, phospholipids and triglycerides++ in blood serum of healthy pregnant women in the I trimester of gestation were higher than in nonpregnant women.

Background: Adverse birth outcomes (ABO), such as preterm birth (PTB), small and large for gestational age (SGA/LGA), can compromise both the short- and long-term health of mothers and their foetuses. The purpose of this observational study was to investigate the association between maternal serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels in late pregnancy and the risk of ABO, and to evaluate its predictive value of maternal ALP levels for ABO in women with singleton pregnancies.
Methods: A total of 11 853 consecutive pregnant women underwent hepatic and renal function tests, lipid profile assessments, ALP and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels measurements upon admission for labour.

Background: The early colonization and establishment of the microbiome in newborns is a crucial step in the development of the immune system and host metabolism. However, the exact timing of initial microbial colonization remains a subject of ongoing debate. While numerous studies have attempted to determine the presence or absence of intrauterine bacteria, the majority of them have drawn conclusions based on sequencing data from maternal or infant samples taken at a single time point.

Objective: To investigate the association between functional parameters of the microcirculation and the systemic cardiovascular system in a population of pregnant women at risk for gestational hypertension disorders.
Study Design: For this observational study, women at high cardiovascular risk according to maternal anthropometrics, obstetric and medical history, were recruited at random gestational age depending on time of referral to the outpatient clinic for high risk prenatal care at Ziekenhuis Oost Limburg, Genk Belgium. After birth, data of maternal and neonatal outcome were obtained from the hospital records: only women with normal pregnancy (n = 142) and with preeclampsia (n = 34) were included in this analysis.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the incidence and characteristics of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) in pregnant and non-pregnant women using the Korean National Health Insurance Service customized cohort data.
Materials And Methods: We defined the delivery group as women aged 15-49 years with International Classification of Diseases 10th Revision codes O80-O84 indicating delivery between January 2013 and December 2019. The control group was selected from individuals in the same age range without a history of delivery during the same period.

We aimed to investigate the impact of virtual reality (VR) on maternal anxiety, satisfaction, and fetal physiological parameters during non-stress test (NST) in pregnant women. We conducted an extensive search across numerous databases to identify eligible studies from inception to April 2024. Researchers included randomized trials that compared VR intervention during NSTs in the third trimester with control groups.
