Effects of maternal anxiety on fetal and maternal circulation
Revista da Associação Médica Brasileira, 2023 The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between maternal anxiety in the third trimester and changes in fetal and maternal circulation assessed by Doppler velocimetry.This is a prospective, cross-sectional study. The inclusion criteria were good health, a singleton pregnancy, maternal age between 18 and 40 years, and gestational age ...

Evolution of maternal effect senescence [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015 Significance Evolutionary theory underpins our understanding of the aging process. The many aspects of reproduction that decline with maternal age in animals include number of offspring born, offspring size, and neonatal survival. Current theories of aging ignore potential differences in the evolutionary pressures on these traits ...

The Effects of Childbirth Education on Maternity Outcomes and Maternal Satisfaction [PDF]
The Journal of Perinatal Education, 2020 Past evaluation of the effectiveness of childbirth education classes related to obstetric outcomes and satisfaction with the birth experience have not shown consistent results. This study explored the relationship between attendance of set curriculum childbirth education class and the labor and birth process, as well as maternal satisfaction with the ...

The effect of pregnancy on maternal cognition [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 AbstractTo determine whether there are differences in measures of cognitive function between second and third trimester pregnant women compared to non-pregnant controls. This prospective study comprised 40 pregnant and 40 non-pregnant women, 20–40 years old, native-Hebrew speakers who were recruited from the outpatient clinics during a period of nearly

The Evolution of Multivariate Maternal Effects
PLoS Computational Biology, 2014 There is a growing interest in predicting the social and ecological contexts that favor the evolution of maternal effects. Most predictions focus, however, on maternal effects that affect only a single character, whereas the evolution of maternal effects is poorly understood in the presence of suites of interacting traits. To overcome this, we simulate

Maternal Effects in Molecular Evolution [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2002 We introduce a model of molecular evolution in which the fitness of an individual depends both on its own and on the parent's genotype. The model can be solved by means of a nonlinear mapping onto the standard quasispecies model. The dependency on the parental genotypes cancels from the mean fitness, but not from the individual sequence concentrations.

Effects of maternal hydration status on the osmolality of maternal milk
Nutrición Hospitalaria, 2016 It has been demonstrated that human milk osmolality (Mosm) is regulated within an established range, typically 290 to 300 mOsm/kg, and appears to be resistant to effects of maternal dehydration, as refl ected by high urinary osmolality (Uosm).To determine the degree of association between Mosm and Uosm at a common point in time, as well as the ...

The Effect of Maternal Obesity on the Offspring [PDF]
Clinical Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2014 Maternal obesity is inextricably linked to adverse health outcomes for the mother and her children. The peripartum period is a critical period of risk. In this chapter, we examine the importance of maternal prepregnancy weight status, gestational weight gain, breastfeeding, and postpartum weight loss in relation to subsequent risk for maternal obesity ...

Problems in estimating maternal effects [PDF]
Genetics Selection Evolution, 1980 Abstract The basic problems inherent in the estimation of maternal effects are considered. A maternal effect is defined as an effect contributed to the phenotypic value of an offspring by his dam. The two most important problems are the confounding of the maternal effect of the dam and her genetic contribution to the genotypic value of her offspring ...
