Association of chronic hypertension with birth of small-for-gestational-age neonate [PDF]

, 2017
Objective: To examine the effect of chronic hypertension (CH), with and without superimposed preeclampsia (PE), on the incidence of small for gestational age (SGA) neonates, and explore possible mechanisms for such association. Methods: The data for the

Prenatal Exposure to Metals Is Associated with Placental Decelerated Epigenetic Gestational Age in a Sex-Dependent Manner in Infants Born Extremely Preterm

Cells
Prenatal exposure to metals can influence fetal programming via DNA methylation and has been linked to adverse birth outcomes and long-term consequences.

Association between placental epigenetic age acceleration and early postnatal growth patterns

Scientific Reports
Placental gestational age acceleration (GAA) is the difference between the actual gestational age (GA) at birth and their estimated epigenetic gestational age (EGA), which is calculated from placental DNA methylation.

Modeling dynamic velocity-based gestational weight gain trajectories in advanced maternal age: association with perinatal outcomes

Frontiers in Medicine
BackgroundStatic gestational weight gain (GWG) guidelines may be inadequate for women of advanced maternal age (AMA), a population with distinct physiological characteristics including diminished metabolic flexibility and elevated baseline risks.

The impact of maternal gestational diabetes on a child’s psychomotor development up to the age of 2 – from a delayed start to accelerated growth

Pediatria Polska
Introduction: The psychomotor development of children born to mothers with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has been extensively studied, yielding mixed results. This study aimed to statistically evaluate the impact of GDM on the psychomotor development of children up to two years of age in a local Polish population, using the global scale of early ...

Size at birth: an examination of meaning and usefulness. A prospective study of a cohort of infants born in Nepal [PDF]

, 2009
Background: Low birth weight (LBW) remains a major public health problem in developing countries, but is only one measure of size at birth. Others include small-for-gestational-age (SGA) and low ponderal index (PI).

Consistent cord blood DNA methylation signatures of gestational age between South Asian and white European cohorts

Clinical Epigenetics
Background Epigenetic modifications, particularly DNA methylation (DNAm) in cord blood, are an important biological marker of how external exposures during gestation can influence the in-utero environment and subsequent offspring development. Despite the

Is gestational hypertension beneficial in twin pregnancies?

, 2015
Objectives: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are commonly associated with impaired foetal growth. However, some studies observed that gestational hypertension in twin pregnancy could be beneficial for foetal growth.

Exposure to Gestational Intermittent Hypoxia Does Not Impair the Metabolic Function or Accelerate the Biological Ageing Process of Offspring of Either Sex

Journal of Sleep Research
ABSTRACT Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), marked by intermittent hypoxia, is associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes and metabolic associated fatty liver disease. In pregnancy, it remains underdiagnosed despite links to gestational diabetes, hypertension, and foetal growth restriction.
