Noninvasive blood tests for fetal development predict gestational age and preterm delivery
Toward more predictable birthdays Low-cost methods for monitoring fetal development could improve prenatal care, especially in low-resource settings. By measuring the levels of certain placental RNA transcripts in maternal blood, Ngo et al. developed two

BackgroundAbout 10-15% small-for-gestational-age children are in higher risk for having linear growth retardation due to growth hormone-insulin like growth factor 1 axis defect (GH-IGF 1) which causes bone age delay.ObjectivesTo compare bone age in 24-36

The risk stratification of adverse neonatal outcomes in women with gestational diabetes (STRONG) study [PDF]
Aims: To assess the risk of adverse neonatal outcomes in women with gestational diabetes (GDM) by identifying subgroups of women at higher risk to recognize the characteristics most associated with an excess of risk. Methods: Observational, retrospective,

Morbidity and Mortality in Small for Gestational Age Infants at 22 to 29 Weeks’ Gestation
SGA for infants born from 22 to 29 weeks’ gestation is associated with increased risks of mortality and several morbidities, but these risks differ across the GA range. OBJECTIVES: To identify the relative risks of mortality and morbidities for small for

Abstract Adenylosuccinase deficiency is a rare inborn error of metabolism. We present a newborn who died at 52 days of age with clinical features suggestive of severe epileptic encephalopathy and leukodystrophy of unknown cause. Post‐mortem examination showed an unusual vacuolar appearance of the brain.

Maternal social risk, gestational age at delivery, and cognitive outcomes among adolescents born extremely preterm [PDF]
Background: Children born extremely preterm (EP) are at increased risk of cognitive deficits that persist into adulthood. Few large cohort studies have examined differential impairment of cognitive function in EP-born adolescents in relation to early ...

Prediction and prevention of small‐for‐gestational‐age neonates: evidence from SPREE and ASPRE
To examine the effect of first‐trimester screening for pre‐eclampsia (PE) on the prediction of delivering a small‐for‐gestational‐age (SGA) neonate and the effect of prophylactic use of aspirin on the prevention of SGA.

Two SOX11 variants cause Coffin–Siris syndrome with a new feature of sensorineural hearing loss
Abstract Coffin‐Siris syndrome (CSS, OMIM#135900) is a rare congenital disorder associated with neurodevelopmental and dysmorphic features. The primary cause of CSS is pathogenic variants in any of 9 BAF chromatin‐remodeling complex encoding genes or the genes SOX11 and PHF6. Herein, we performed whole‐exome sequencing (WES) and a series of analyses of

Unveiling the initial conditions of open star cluster formation [PDF]
Open clusters (OCs) are infrequent survivors of embedded clusters gestated in molecular clouds. Up to now, little is known about the initial conditions for the formation of OCs. Here, we studied this issue using high-precision astrometric parameters provided by Gaia data release 3.
