Background: Sedentary life is now considered among the main health risks globally among general population and pregnant women. Premature rupture of membranes is a serious pregnancy condition that is a main cause of newborn morbidity and death globally. There is very limited data about the effect of sedentary behavior during pregnancy on premature rupture of membranes.

Group B (GBS) is one of the most common bacteria responsible for placental and neonatal infection and inflammation resulting in lifelong neurobehavioral impairments. In particular, GBS-induced chorioamnionitis is known in preclinical models to upregulate inflammatory pathways, primarily through the activation of the interleukin-1 (IL-1) pathway, leading to brain injury and subsequent neurodevelopmental issues. Previous studies from our laboratory using Lewis rat pups have shown that male offspring exposed in utero to GBS chorioamnionitis develop brain injuries leading to neurobehavioral impairments such as autistic traits.

The association between early glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and the risk of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) population remains largely unknown. The impact of diabetes mellitus (DM) on NRDS is also controversial. HbA1c was assessed in early and late pregnancy.

The 2016 Amsterdam Placental Workshop Group Consensus Statement recommends sampling a block of the placenta close to the umbilical cord insertion site (UCIB) for histopathological evaluation. This piece of placenta at the umbilical cord insertion is presumed to give a better yield of inflammation (if present). We aimed to investigate the utility of the UCIB in the detection of maternal and/or fetal inflammatory responses (MIR and/or FIR), in comparison with the other sections of the placental parenchyma.

Background: To assess the effectiveness of rescue cerclage concerning pregnancy and neonatal outcomes in women with acute cervical insufficiency (CI) complicated with intra-amniotic inflammation (IAI) compared with those managed expectantly.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 87 consecutive singleton pregnant women (17-25 weeks) with acute CI who underwent amniocentesis to assess IAI. Amniotic fluid (AF) samples were assayed for interleukin-6 to define IAI (≥ 2.

Introduction: neonatal death is a global issue in both developed and developing countries. Evidence on determinants of neonatal mortality is scarce, particularly in the pastoralist and agro-pastoralist areas of Ethiopia, including the Somali region. This study aimed to identify the determinants of mortality among neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care units at selected public hospitals, in the Somali region, eastern Ethiopia.

The global increase in cesarean section (C-section) births has heightened concerns about surgical site infections (SSIs), a significant risk associated with this common obstetric procedure. This literature review evaluates the impact of early dressing removal after C-sections, drawing from randomized controlled trials and clinical studies to assess potential benefits and risks. The review found no definitive evidence favoring a specific timing for dressing removal to reduce SSIs.

Arcuate uterus does not impact the success of infertility treatments, but there is no consensus on whether it influences perinatal outcomes. The objective of the present study was to investigate whether minor congenital uterine anomalies such as an arcuate uterus contribute to perinatal complications. This was a retrospective cohort study at a single institution.

Rationale: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) technology in the field of intense care for children in China has developed rapidly, and it has become a key strategy for the rescue treatment of critically ill children and an advanced extracorporeal life support system. Compared with adults and children, neonatal respiratory disease with ECMO support has the best prognosis, with an average survival rate of 74%. Bleeding and thrombotic events during ECMO are common, morbid, and potentially lethal.

Intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis, considered able to prevent streptococcal transmission from mother to newborn and its severe negative consequences, leads to microbiota dysbiosis, described as having a negative impact on well-being in both elements of the dyad. L3 is a probiotic strain capable of exerting strong antagonistic activity against most streptococci, including , due to the production of bacteriocins (known as enterocins A and B). A proprietary probiotic mixture containing the strain L3 demonstrated, in 2016, a significant reduction in episodes of PROM in pregnant women, with a less-than-expected effect on the vaginal-rectal presence of the pathogen .

Background: The impact of mode of delivery in chorioamnionitis on neonatal outcomes is unclear. This retrospective cohort study compares the rate of early onset neonatal sepsis between vaginal delivery and cesarean section.
Methods: Singleton pregnancies at greater than 24 + 0 weeks gestation with live birth and clinically-diagnosed chorioamnionitis from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021 were included.

Objective: To determine the factors associated with an increased risk of cesarean scar defect formation.
Methods: A systematic literature search was performed up to July 2022 in PubMed databases following the PRISMA recommendations. All available English-language clinical studies presenting one or more factors that may affect the risk of cesarean scar defect were included.

Importance: Though the incidence of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) in pregnancy is rare, understanding the etiology and symptomatology of FMF is essential for obstetric treatment of patients with FMF.
Objective: Familial Mediterranean fever is a hereditary periodic fever syndrome that has unique obstetric considerations. Familial Mediterranean fever is typically characterized by recurrent episodes of high-grade fevers, pleuritis/pericarditis, and arthritis lasting 1-3 days with complete recovery seen in between episodes.
