OBJECTIVE: Child mortality and stillbirth rates (SBR) remain high in low-income countries but may be underestimated due to incomplete reporting of child deaths in retrospective pregnancy/birth histories. The aim of this study is to compare stillbirth and mortality estimates derived using two different methods: the method assuming full information and the prospective method. METHODS: Bandim Health Project's Health and Demographic Surveillance Systems (HDSS) follows women of reproductive age and children under five through routine home visits every 1, 2 or 6 months...

BACKGROUND: Monozygotic twins (MZTs) are associated with high risks of maternal and fetal complications. Even with the widely used elective single embryo transfer (SET), the risk of MZTs following assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatments remains. However, most studies of MZTs focused on the relevant etiology, with few studies describing pregnancy and neonatal outcomes. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included 19,081 SET cycles resulting from in-vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) and testicular sperm aspiration (TESA) performed between January 2010 and July 2020 in a single university-based center...

BACKGROUND: Microglial cells play an important role in the immune system in the brain. Activated microglial cells are not only injurious but also neuroprotective. We confirmed marked lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1) expression in microglial cells in pathological lesions in the neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (nHIE) model brain. LOX-1 is known to be an activator of cytokines and chemokines through intracellular pathways. Here, we investigated a novel role of LOX-1 and the molecular mechanism of LOX-1 gene transcription microglial cells under hypoxic and ischemic conditions...

BACKGROUND: An increase in vascular resistance of uterine vessels is associated with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Sildenafil citrate, a phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor that stabilizes cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) and increases nitric oxide levels, improves placental perfusion by dilation of spiral arteries and is beneficial in managing IUGR. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of sildenafil citrate in improving perinatal outcomes in IUGR pregnancies. METHODS: Meta-analysis was performed on data extracted from all studies specific to sildenafil citrate in IUGR management, searching relevant articles on PubMed, Medline, Google Scholar, Embase, and Cochrane databases...

PURPOSE: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), an inflammatory intestinal disease common in premature infants, has been associated with the development of lung damage. Toll-like receptor 4 has been shown to regulate inflammation in the NEC lungs, however, other important inflammatory mechanisms have not been thoroughly investigated. In addition, we reported that milk-derived exosomes were able to attenuate intestinal injury and inflammation in experimental NEC. This study aims to (i) investigate the role of the NLRP3 inflammasome and NF-κB pathway in regulating lung damage during experimental NEC; and (ii) evaluate the therapeutic potential of bovine milk exosomes in reducing lung inflammation and injury during NEC...

Derangements of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) or blood-retinal barrier (BRB) occur in disorders ranging from stroke, cancer, diabetic retinopathy, and Alzheimer's disease. The Norrin/FZD4 /TSPAN12 pathway activates WNT/β-catenin signaling, which is essential for BBB and BRB function. However, systemic pharmacologic FZD4 stimulation is hindered by obligate palmitoylation and insolubility of native WNTs and suboptimal properties of the FZD4 -selective ligand Norrin. Here, we develop L6-F4-2, a non-lipidated, FZD4 -specific surrogate which significantly improves subpicomolar affinity versus native Norrin...

Oxygen deprivation is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in newborns, occurring with a higher prevalence in preterm infants, reaching 20 % to 50 % mortality in newborns in the perinatal period. When they survive, 25 % exhibit neuropsychological pathologies, such as learning difficulties, epilepsy, and cerebral palsy. White matter injury is one of the main features found in oxygen deprivation injury, which can lead to long-term functional impairments, including cognitive delay and motor deficits...

Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is the primary reason for neonatal mortality and prolonged disablement. Currently, hypothermia is the only approved clinical treatment available for HIE. However, hypothermia's limited therapeutic efficacy and adverse effects suggest an urgent need to advance our knowledge of its molecular pathogenesis and develop novel therapies. The leading cause of HIE is impaired cerebral blood flow and oxygen deprivation-initiated primary and secondary energy failure. Lactate was traditionally regarded as a marker of energy failure or a waste product of anaerobic glycolysis...

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Duodenal duplication cysts are a rare subtype of alimentary tract duplications cysts, consisting of 7 % of all the duplications. The clinical presentation is variable, depending on the size, location and mass effect. Most duodenal duplication cysts abut the second or third portion of the native duodenum. The standard treatment of choice for symptomatic enteric duplication cysts is complete surgical removal. In our case, by examining the abdomen, ectopic pancreatic tissue was found on the wall of the transverse colon, along with Meckel's diverticulum, 50 cm from the ileocecal junction...

The rising prevalence of early-life opioid exposure has become a pressing public health issue in the U.S. Neonates exposed to opioids in utero are at risk of experiencing a constellation of postpartum withdrawal symptoms commonly referred to as neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS). Buprenorphine (BPN), a partial agonist at the mu-opioid receptor (MOR) and antagonist at the kappa-opioid receptor (KOR), is currently approved to treat opioid use disorder in adult populations. Recent research suggests that BPN may also be effective in reducing withdrawal symptoms in neonates who were exposed to opioids in utero...

OBJECTIVES: Pregnant and postpartum women and people (PPWP) who use opioids experience higher rates of morbidity, preterm labor, and stillbirth than those who do not. Although medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) is the standard of treatment, utilization among PPWP has remained low because of MOUD stigma and misconceptions. The current report examined general and pregnancy-related MOUD attitudes, norms, and self-efficacy among PPWP seeking treatment. METHODS: Participants (n = 33) receiving MOUD at a Midwestern clinic reported beliefs about MOUD in general using the Attitudes toward Methadone Questionnaire (modified to include all MOUD) and during pregnancy/postpartum using an investigator-generated scale based on previous research...
