Summary: This study found that the prevalence of comorbid anxiety and depression (CAD) during the third trimester of pregnancy was 6.8%. Factors associated with higher odds of CAD included age between 30 and 35 years, current sleep disorders, and preconception mood disorders. Conversely, lower odds of developing CAD were associated with the presence of no or few economic problems and the perception of enough or more than enough practical support from friends or relatives. These findings suggest that economic and practical support may help reduce CAD prevalence among pregnant women.

Summary: The association between eveningness and depression is small in magnitude and heterogeneous, with mean age having a significant impact on this relationship. More research is needed to better understand the mechanisms linking diurnal preference to depression and to conduct suitably powered prospective studies for causal inference.

Summary: This review highlights the higher levels of depressive symptoms among pregnant adolescents compared to their nonpregnant peers and pregnant adults. It also points out the low confidence of clinicians in assessing and treating reproductive health concerns in youth. Risk factors for depressive symptoms in pregnant adolescents include lower income, history of depression, childhood maltreatment and/or recent abuse, and/or lifetime exposure to racial/ethnic discrimination. Clinicians should carefully assess for depressive symptoms and educate adolescents on the distinction between pregnancy symptoms and depression symptoms.

Summary: Anxiety and depressive symptoms have a negative impact on surgical outcomes in patients with rotator cuff tear undergoing surgical repair. Patients without mood disorders before rotator cuff repair are ideal candidates for surgery. This study found that anxiety and depressive symptoms significantly reduced after rotator cuff repair, leading to improvements in functionality, ability to carry out activities of daily living, perceived pain, and quality of life.

Summary: Personality traits of parents in young adulthood, well before the conception of their offspring, are associated with various parental resources and attributes during pregnancy and postpartum, as well as with infant biobehavioural characteristics. The effect sizes range from small to moderate when considering parents' personality traits as continuous exposures, and from small to large when considering them as binary exposures. These findings highlight the importance of parental personality in early life development and its potential long-term impact on a child's health and development.

Summary: The study found that IVF should not be postponed following a pregnancy loss, as shorter intervals were associated with greater likelihood of live birth. Patients after biochemical or spontaneous miscarriage typically had shorter intervals to the next cycle, while those after medical or surgical miscarriages had longer intervals.

Summary: A quarter of pregnancies worldwide end in early pregnancy loss, causing trauma and negative mental health responses for many women. This study aimed to characterize the psychological impact of early pregnancy loss in Portugal. An online survey was conducted, and it was found that a significant proportion of women still experienced clinical symptoms of mental health disorders even 3 years after the loss. Timely intervention and monitoring are crucial for those women in need.

Summary: This study aimed to improve counseling for women undergoing medical management of early pregnancy loss by reporting bleeding characteristics at home, and found that terminated bleeding after 2 weeks is a useful indicator for successful induction of early pregnancy loss. Additionally, persistent bleeding after 2 weeks may indicate a higher risk of retained products of conception.
