Effects of maternal education on maternal and perinatal outcomes: An individual participant data meta‐analysis of 2 356 402 pregnancies

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Maternal and perinatal mortality remain critical indicators of global health inequity. In 2020, an estimated 287 000 women died from preventable causes related to pregnancy, and in 2021, approximately 2.3 million neonatal deaths occurred within the first 28 days of life. A recently defined risk group, small vulnerable newborns (SVNs,

Natural selection in utero induced by mass layoffs: the hCG evidence

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, 2012
Evolutionary theory, when coupled with research from epidemiology, demography, and population endocrinology, suggests that contracting economies affect the fitness and health of human populations via natural selection in utero. We know, for example, that

Impact of phthalate and BPA exposure during in utero windows of susceptibility on reproductive hormones and sexual maturation in peripubertal males

open access: yesEnvironmental Health, 2017
BackgroundPhthalates and BPA are endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) widely used in consumer products. Evidence suggests that phthalate and BPA exposure alters steroid hormone levels in adults, while in utero exposure has been associated with altered ...

The association of umbilical cord blood neurofilament light with non‐reassuring fetal status: A prospective observational study

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Early detection of hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in neonates is critical. We conducted a pilot cohort study to determine the feasibility of collecting umbilical cord blood samples for neurofilament light (NfL) and to assess the association of NfL with non‐reassuring fetal status and other cord biomarkers. We aimed to address (

Toxicity of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) in the developing male Wistar(Han) rat II: chronic dosing causes developmental delay [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We have investigated whether fetal exposure to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) causes defects in the male reproductive system of the rat, using chronically exposed rats to ensure continuous exposure of the fetus. 5-6 week old rats were exposed

Long‐term results of the Musset surgical technique in the treatment of recto‐vaginal fistulas

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Recto‐vaginal fistulas (RVF) are a rare pathology, mostly affecting developing countries. They are mainly obstetrical (88% of cases) and have an incidence of 0.5%. Musset's surgical technique in the management of RVF has been the subject of few studies and there is little data in the literature concerning the evaluation of its long ...
