Sibling prenatal classes are a natural extension of nursing's interest and expertise in childbirth preparation for expectant couples. From parents' perspective, these classes have the potential to decrease sibling rivalry and facilitate parental coping with older children's concerns about a new baby. From a nurse educator's perspective, sibling prenatal classes offer a rich learning experience for students by providing an opportunity to integrate knowledge about pregnancy and birth with communication skills and child development knowledge.

The Association Between Maternal Preeclampsia and Risk for Offspring Infectious Diseases-A Sibling Matched Analysis.
Am J Reprod Immunol

Background: Preeclampsia is a severe, multisystem complication that affects 2%-5% of pregnancies, and is a leading cause of fetal and maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Preeclampsia may have devastating results on maternal health and may affect offspring's immediate and long-term health. Previous studies have examined the impact of maternal preeclampsia on the long-term health outcomes of offspring, many of these studies have been limited by confounding factors that could bias the results.

Importance: Current evidence of the association between prenatal exposure to glucocorticoids and long-term mental disorders is scarce and has limitations.
Objective: To investigate the association between prenatal exposure to systemic glucocorticoids and mental disorders in offspring at the age of 15 years, comparing exposed vs unexposed offspring born to mothers with the same underlying disease (risk of preterm delivery and autoimmune or inflammatory disorders).
Design, Setting, And Participants: This nationwide population-based cohort study used data from registries in Denmark with follow-up until December 31, 2018.
We present a family with two male siblings diagnosed with a newly described digenic myopathy, involving likely pathogenic loss-of-function variants in the SRPK3 and TTN genes: hemizygous p.(Pro68ArgfsTer55) and heterozygous p.(Trp14174Ter), respectively.

Background: The prenatal and early-life periods pose a crucial neurodevelopmental window whereby disruptions to the intestinal microbiota and the developing brain may have adverse impacts. As antibiotics affect the human intestinal microbiome, it follows that early-life antibiotic exposure may be associated with later-life psychiatric or neurocognitive outcomes.
Aims: To explore the association between early-life (in utero and early childhood (age 0-2 years)) antibiotic exposure and the subsequent risk of psychiatric and neurocognitive outcomes.

Objective: To explore the clinical phenotype and genetic characteristics of two siblings with intellectual disability.
Methods: Clinical data and peripheral blood samples were collected from the proband, his younger sister and parents whom had presented at Wenzhou Central Hospital in February 2024. Low-coverage massively parallel copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) and whole exome sequencing (WES) were carried out for the family.
