Summary: Meeting the Institute of Medicine guidelines for gestational weight gain is associated with reduced risk of adverse perinatal outcomes. Poor diet quality, as measured by the Healthy Eating Index 2010, is associated with an increased risk of excessive gestational weight gain in the second and third trimesters. This association is stronger among pregnant individuals who are not overweight or obese and among those who identify as Black or White race and ethnicity.

Summary: This study examined the impact of maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index and gestational weight gain on both maternal and infant outcomes. The findings showed that a traditional Brazilian dietary pattern had a protective effect against excessive weight gain during pregnancy. However, being overweight before pregnancy and being over 35 years old increased the risk of excessive weight gain. The study suggests that nutritional intervention and weight monitoring should be implemented early in pregnancy to reduce health risks for both mother and child.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the trimester specific gestational weight gain (GWG) in Indian pregnant women and compare it with international and Indian reference data. The study found that Indian women had lower GWG compared to international standards, but higher GWG compared to Indian reference data. Maternal BMI, age, parity, hemoglobin concentrations, and height were found to be associated with GWG.

Summary: The associations between maternal dietary patterns and the probability of excess gestational weight gain (EGWG) were examined in this study. Maternal adherence to a traditional pattern was associated with a higher probability of EGWG, particularly among women who were overweight/obese before pregnancy. Maternal adherence to a high protein pattern was associated with a lower risk of EGWG, especially among non-overweight/obese women.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between maternal dietary patterns during pregnancy and the risk of preterm birth (PTB). It found that adherence to different dietary patterns during different trimesters was associated with varying risks of PTB. Specifically, following a fish-seafood pattern during the first trimester increased the risk of PTB and iatrogenic preterm birth, while following the same pattern during the second trimester decreased the risk of PTB. Additionally, adherence to a dairy-egg pattern during the second or third trimester increased the risks of PTB and iatrogenic preterm birth.

Summary: Pre-pregnancy overweight or obesity and excessive gestational weight gain (GWG) are established risk factors for preeclampsia (PE), which may vary according to different PE phenotypes. Underweight women have a lower risk of PE. Inadequate GWG and excessive GWG both increase the risk of PE. There is no significant interaction between GWG and pre-pregnancy BMI on the risk of PE.

Summary: The study found that gestational weight loss (GWL) in women with obesity may increase the risk of delivering small-for-gestational-age (SGA) neonates but reduce the risk of delivering large-for-gestational-age (LGA) neonates. Recommendations for gestational weight loss in women with obesity should be interpreted cautiously.

Summary: Exposure to air pollutants such as ozone, sulfur dioxide, and particulate matter during pregnancy is associated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The combination of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and particulate matter in the first trimester has the highest joint relative risk for GDM. The effects of air pollutants on GDM vary based on pre-pregnancy BMI and season.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the associations of assisted reproductive technology (ART) conception with offspring cardiometabolic health outcomes and whether these associations differ with age. The researchers found small and statistically non-significant differences in offspring cardiometabolic outcomes between ART-conceived and naturally conceived offspring. The study concluded that these findings should reassure individuals receiving ART, but longer-term follow-up is needed to investigate changes in the risks of hypertension, dyslipidaemia, and cardiovascular disease over adulthood.

Summary: COVID-19, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, is a highly infectious disease that primarily affects the respiratory system and can lead to severe illness. Early and accurate diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 is crucial for containing its spread and providing prompt treatment. Various methods, such as RT-PCR, LMAP, CRISPR, GICA, CT, and electrochemical sensors, are used for COVID-19 detection, but they vary in terms of efficiency, specificity, accuracy, sensitivity, cost, and throughput. It is important to review the advantages and disadvantages of different detection methods and explore technologies that can enhance detection efficiency and improve quality.

Summary: Small newborns are at risk of mortality and loss of human capital. Reduction targets for low-birthweight babies are not being met. Preterm birth and fetal growth restriction are the two pathways to low-birthweight, with the latter resulting in small for gestational age babies. Data on these babies are insufficient globally, and classification based on vulnerability types can improve prevention and care for the most vulnerable infants.

Summary: This review aims to systematically evaluate the relationship between breast milk composition and the development of breast milk jaundice in healthy neonates. The results were inconsistent and inconclusive for most of the substances of interest, and conflicting results arose when there were two or more studies on the subject matter. The etiology of breast milk jaundice is likely multifactorial, and further well-designed studies are warranted to investigate the complex interaction between maternal physiology, the breast milk system, and infant physiology.

Summary: Senescence-associated genes play a significant role in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). We classified TNBC into two subtypes, TNBCSASP1 and TNBCSASP2, based on the expression levels of senescence-associated genes. The TNBCSASP1 subtype had a poor prognosis and exhibited immunosuppression and low immune cell infiltration. FAM3B was identified as a key biomarker affecting TNBC prognosis.

Summary: A study in Guangzhou found that many pregnant women with syphilis are not receiving the appropriate treatment, which is a missed opportunity to reduce adverse pregnancy outcomes. The study found that migrant pregnant women, multiparous participants, unmarried participants, and unemployed participants were more likely to receive no treatment or inadequate treatment. However, participants with a history of syphilis infection and higher education were less likely to receive untreated or inadequately treatment. The timing of syphilis diagnosis played a mediating role in the treatment status.

Summary: This study aimed to assess maternal dietary intake patterns, anthropometric measures, and biochemical markers in women with gestational diabetes mellitus and pregnancy-specific urinary incontinence. The results showed that pregnant women in the gestational diabetes mellitus pregnancy-specific urinary incontinence group had higher body mass index, arm circumference, and triceps skinfold than the other groups, indicating an obesogenic maternal environment. Significant differences in dietary food intake were also observed. The study emphasizes the need for a comprehensive strategy for pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus and pregnancy-specific urinary incontinence to address obesity and micronutrient deficiencies.

Summary: This study investigates the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) activation on thermogenic pathways and mitochondrial metabolism in mouse adipose tissue. The results show that activation of PPARa and dual PPARa/y can reduce body mass, mitigate insulin resistance, and induce browning in white adipose tissue. Preserved mitochondrial metabolism emerges as a potential target for obesity treatment using PPAR agonists, with possible clinical applications.

Summary: This study investigated the frequency of breakfast consumption and its associations with the consumption of food at different degrees of industrial processing and with overweight indicators in Brazilian adolescents. The results showed that 20% of adolescents skipped breakfast and 46% of their caloric intake came from ultra-processed foods. Skipping breakfast was associated with increased consumption of ultra-processed foods, higher BMI-for-age, and higher body fat percentage.
