Estimating the minimal cost of delivering nutrition‐specific and nutrition‐sensitive interventions in Ethiopia

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
The minimum cost of the 10 years on identified nutrition‐specific and nutrition‐sensitive interventions of the National Food and Nutrition Strategy in Ethiopia is estimated to be US$ 2.55bn with an average annual cost of $250 million over 10 years (2021–2030), which is only 2.3% of the Ethiopian Annual GDP 111.27 billion US dollars in 2021 (World bank).

Infertility and Risk of Congenital Anomalies: A Population‐Based Cohort Study

Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Fertility treatments have been associated with an increased risk of congenital anomalies. Most studies have compared births conceived through fertility treatment with unassisted conceptions; consequently, these estimates reflect the combined effects of fertility treatment and the underlying infertility, potentially resulting in ...

Fucosylation limits ADCC in clinically used anti‐RhD monoclonal antibodies

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Haemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) is caused by maternal alloantibodies, often targeting the D antigen on fetal red blood cells. Maternal immunization is preventable with timely administration of anti‐D polyclonal antibodies (pAbs).

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

TMEM16A chloride channels in the female reproductive tract and their role in normal and dysfunctional pregnancy and labour

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend TMEM16A plays a pivotal role in setting the duration of the action potential plateau in human uterine smooth muscle. An increase in TMEM16A expression in labour underpins a lengthening of the plateau and this provides time for the contraction to become larger and longer, important for timely successful labour.
