Summary: This study found a higher prevalence of pre-eclampsia in patients with saccular intracranial aneurysms (sIAs) compared to the general population, with sIA patients with pre-eclampsia more frequently having irregularly shaped aneurysms. Further research is needed to determine if a history of pre-eclampsia indicates an elevated risk for sIA formation or rupture.

Summary: During pregnancy, factors such as gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), maternal weight gain, and pre-pregnancy body mass index may impact the physical development of newborns. In women with GDM, gestational age is correlated with abnormal physical development in neonates.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the optimal intervention strategy to prevent gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and restrict gestational weight gain (GWG) among overweight/obese pregnant women. The results showed that PA and diet + PA interventions had a trend of preventing GDM, and interventions of diet, PA, and diet + PA were significant factors to restrict GWG. Overall, a combination of diet and physical activity intervention seemed to be the superior choice for both GDM prevention and excessive GWG.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis on the association between gestational weight gain (GWG) and adverse outcomes in twin pregnancies. It found that over half of twin pregnancies experience inappropriate GWG, which can be a common and modifiable risk factor for preterm birth and pre-eclampsia. Therefore, timely intervention and adjustment of maternal weight gain are important measures to reduce adverse outcomes.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between dairy consumption during pregnancy and pregnancy complications. Based on the analysis of multiple studies, there seems to be a neutral association between dairy consumption and gestational weight gain, gestational diabetes mellitus, and pre-eclampsia.

Summary: The timing of dietary intake during pregnancy can affect gestational weight gain (GWG). A birth cohort study conducted in Tianjin found that pregnant women who had a higher energy and macronutrient distribution in the late afternoon-early evening time window had a greater GWG rate and total GWG. Carbohydrate intake in the morning and fat intake in the morning during the second and third trimesters were positively associated with GWG.

Summary: A radiomics nomogram based on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps was established to predict pre-eclampsia (PE) from gestational hypertension (GH). The nomogram exhibited good performance in both the training and test cohorts for predicting PE from GH. It can be conveniently used to facilitate treatment decisions for clinicians and patients.

Summary: This study found that the physical activity levels of pregnant women are related to weight gain outcomes, with low physical activity levels associated with insufficient weight gain. Additionally, inadequate dietary habits, low physical activity levels, and pregestational obesity may increase the risk of excessive weight gain in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus.

Summary: This study aimed to test the feasibility of a randomised trial of home blood pressure monitoring paired with a remote lifestyle intervention in individuals with a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy in the first year postpartum. The study found that the combination of home blood pressure monitoring and lifestyle intervention was feasible in the first year postpartum, but the rate of hypertension remained high.

Summary: A nationwide matched cohort study in Sweden involving over 843,000 singleton pregnancies found that gastric bypass surgery before pregnancy is associated with a reduced risk of pre-eclampsia, with the largest absolute risk reduction observed in nulliparous women.

Summary: The study investigated the placental expression of VEGF and CD31 in pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes (GDM) and the influence of pregestational BMI and gestational weight gain (GWG) on this expression. The results showed that GDM pregnancies are characterized by increased placental expression of VEGF and CD31, and the expression of these markers is associated with maternal increased pregestational BMI and GWG.

Summary: This study explores the association between gestational FT3 and TT3 levels and adverse obstetric outcomes. The findings suggest that FT3 and TT3 levels have different associations with various adverse obstetric outcomes, with high TT3 associated with an increased risk of gestational hypertension and low TT3 associated with a higher risk of very preterm birth.

Summary: Different factors, such as advanced age and high pre-pregnancy BMI, contribute to elevated HbA1c levels in pregnant women with GDM. Monitoring and controlling blood glucose levels have shown effectiveness in reducing adverse pregnancy outcomes, especially in cases of excessive GWG.

Summary: In this metabolome-wide association study, metabolomic markers associated with excessive gestational weight gain (GWG) were identified. Novel metabolites in the first and third trimesters were found to be associated with GWG, shedding light on the pathophysiology of GWG.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the association between depressive symptoms and inadequate gestational weight change. The results showed that depressive symptoms during pregnancy were associated with insufficient weight gain, but not excessive weight gain. This finding highlights the importance of screening for depression in prenatal care.
