Summary: This observational study compared the potential application of thromboelastography (TEG) in diagnosing normal pregnancy and various pregnancy-related diseases. The results showed that different diseases had different effects on TEG parameters. However, the ability of TEG parameters to diagnose pregnancy-related diseases was limited.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the metabolic differences between women with preeclampsia and healthy pregnant women. The results showed that in early pregnancy, the metabolic differences were mainly influenced by body mass index (BMI), while in late pregnancy, specific metabolic changes related to preeclampsia were observed.

Summary: Galectins play important regulatory roles in pregnancy, participating in processes such as maternal-fetal immune tolerance, placental development, and embryo implantation. Dysregulation of galectins is associated with pregnancy-related diseases.

Summary: Long chain fatty acids, such as omega-3 and omega-6, play a crucial role in pregnancy for fetal development. Abnormalities in fatty acid intake and transportation can lead to pregnancy complications. Research indicates that fatty acids have a significant impact on fetal nervous system development.

Summary: This study analyzed the impact of individual eicosanoid levels on the course of normal pregnancy and the possibility of pathologies such as gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia. The researchers found a significant correlation between being overweight and having a high BMI before pregnancy, as well as biochemical parameters of lipid and carbohydrate profiles, with the occurrence of pathological conditions in pregnancy. Eicosanoids may be involved in the pathology of pregnancy-associated complications and salicylic acid could be a potential treatment option.

Summary: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of delayed cord clamping on bilirubin levels and phototherapy rates in neonates of diabetic mothers. The results showed that delayed cord clamping increased the risk of jaundice in newborns born to diabetic mothers, but had no effect in newborns from mothers with normal pregnancies.

Summary: Unplanned pregnancies have significant implications for public health and individual well-being. This study identifies predictors of unplanned pregnancies and ambivalent feelings towards pregnancy, and highlights the heterogeneous nature of individuals who experience unplanned pregnancies.

Summary: This study aimed to elucidate the mechanisms of developmental programming of adult cardiometabolic disease under maternal anemia during early pregnancy (EP) exposure, and identified detectable transcriptional and epigenetic changes in umbilical cord blood (UCB). The results showed that EP anemia affected the expression of multiple genes in UCB, including genes related to beta-cell development and function. These changes may lead to beta-cell dysfunction, further increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes in offspring of mothers with EP anemia.

Summary: Obese adolescent girls are at increased risk of infertility and childlessness in adulthood, regardless of their marital status or the presence of PCOS. Childhood and adolescent obesity may have a negative impact on women's reproductive capacity.

Summary: This study evaluated the differences in maternal renal function between singleton and twin pregnancies in the second half of pregnancy. The study included 1711 pregnant women, with 1547 singleton pregnancies and 164 twin pregnancies. The results showed that twin pregnancies had higher serum creatinine levels, lower eGFR, and a higher rate of renal dysfunction compared to singleton pregnancies. Twin pregnancy, nulliparity, and preeclampsia were identified as significant risk factors for maternal renal dysfunction. Monitoring renal function is important in twin pregnancies.

Summary: This study established longitudinal reference values for maternal plasma proANP and CNP, showing a slight decrease in these natriuretic peptides with advancing gestation in the second half of pregnancy. However, they did not reflect the temporal physiological changes in maternal systemic hemodynamics, vascular endothelial function, and renal function. The proANP was associated with thoracic fluid content, indicating a correlation with volume load during pregnancy.

Summary: The study found that in elderly individuals, a decline in executive function over time is associated with increased activity in the PFC and amygdala when reappraising negative stimuli, rather than with a neural compensation mechanism characterized by increased PFC activation but no differential amygdala activation. Additionally, lower white matter integrity of the uncinate fasciculus was observed in individuals with greater decreases in executive function, highlighting the association between cognitive decline and brain structure and function related to emotion regulation.

Summary: This study describes longitudinal profiles of circulating progesterone and progestagens during reproductive events in female bottlenose dolphins, revealing differences in hormone concentrations in pregnancies with different outcomes. Progestagens may be better at predicting poor reproductive outcome in bottlenose dolphins, and incorporating a suite of hormone tests into clinical diagnostic and management practices for this species is recommended. Furthermore, analyzing multiple hormonal pregnancy biomarkers from a single sample may enable pregnancy diagnosis for wild animals.

Summary: This study examined the expression of GLUT1 and GLUT4 in placental tissue from overweight (OW) and normal weight (NW) pregnant women, revealing different responses to BPA. While GLUT1 expression increased in NW mothers and decreased in OW mothers, GLUT4 expression was lower in OW mothers. Placental biopsies showed no difference between OW and NW in terms of transporter expression.
