Summary: This study aimed to identify the determinants of spontaneous abortion among women survivors of intimate partner violence during pregnancy in Adigrat General Hospital, Northern Ethiopia, in 2020. The study found that 54% of the violence survivors experienced any form of intimate partner violence, compared to 35% in the control group. The results indicated that experiencing any form of intimate partner violence, physical intimate partner violence, and a shorter inter-pregnancy interval were independent factors contributing to spontaneous abortion.

Summary: In this study, the researchers conducted Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses and found that there is a correlation between obesity, smoking behaviors and reproductive traits with the occurrence of spontaneous abortion (SA). Higher leg fat percentage, earlier smoking initiation, smaller waist circumference, and earlier age of sexual intercourse may increase the risk of SA.

Summary: This study found that indoor air pollution may be an important risk factor for recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA), which may be intensified by poor psychological status. Additionally, using ventilation equipment during cooking can be a protective factor for RSA.

Summary: This study evaluated the role of SARS-CoV-2 infection as a risk factor for early pregnancy loss in the first trimester, finding no significant difference in the cumulative incidence of COVID-19 between women with spontaneous abortion and those with ongoing pregnancy. COVID-19 appeared to have a favorable maternal course in the first trimester, similar to observations in the second and third trimesters.

Summary: Chlamydia trachomatis infection is a major cause of sexually transmitted diseases and adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA). This study aimed to determine the profile of serum miRNAs in C. trachomatis-infected RSA and identify target genes involved in biological pathways. Blood and urine samples were collected from RSA patients and controls, and miRNA expression was analyzed using microarray and qRT-PCR. The study found that circulating miRNAs were differentially expressed in infected RSA patients compared to controls, and these miRNAs were associated with AMPK, Akt, and mTOR signaling pathways. The results suggest that differentially expressed circulating miRNAs can serve as potential biomarkers for predicting RSA.

Summary: This study found that exposure to phthalate acid esters (PAEs) may increase the risk of unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA), and specifically identified di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) as a major contributor to the risk.

Summary: In this study, 12 OH-PAHs were measured in the urine of 413 URSA cases and 434 controls. The median concentration of urinary OH-PAHs in the control group was higher than that in the case group. Binary logistic regression analysis did not find a positive relationship between PAH exposure and URSA. However, women of reproductive age had a high carcinogenic risk due to PAH exposure, which should be paid attention to.

Summary: This study investigated the association between tobacco/alcohol use and spontaneous abortion among women attending antenatal care. It found that tobacco use was associated with an increased risk of spontaneous abortion, while alcohol habits preceding pregnancy were not. Age and body mass index (BMI) also influenced the risk of spontaneous abortion, and there were interactions between different lifestyle factors.

Summary: The study indicates that environmental exposure to bisphenol analogues is associated with an increased risk of unexplained recurrent miscarriage (URM), with a dose-response pattern observed for BPAF, BPAP, and BPB. Older women, aged 30 years or above, may be more vulnerable to the effects of these chemicals.

Summary: This study conducted a longitudinal analysis of malaria cases and entries in Japan, aiming to identify the potential reduction of malaria cases due to the stagnation of international traffic during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings suggest that the stagnation of international traffic during the COVID-19 pandemic reduced the number of malaria cases in Japan. The predictive model developed in this study may be useful for countries without indigenous malaria to predict future trends of imported malaria cases.

Summary: This study examined the association between vaccination rate and confirmed COVID-19 cases in the United States and Japan. The findings showed that a higher vaccination rate was associated with a lower number of COVID-19 cases in both countries. A similar association was observed for booster vaccination rate in 2022, although it was attenuated in a multivariable model, particularly for the United States.

Summary: The study found that the effective coverage of medical treatment for metabolic risk factors has increased in Japan. Most of the potential reductions in non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol have been achieved by statins. However, further efforts are necessary to improve the effectiveness of antihypertensive and antidiabetic drugs.
