Ratios and determinants of maternal mortality: a comparison of geographic differences in the northern and southern regions of Cameroon

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2020
Background While maternal mortality has declined worldwide in the past 25 years, this is not the case for Cameroon. Since there is a predominantly young population in this country, high maternal mortality ratios may persist.

Plant Virus‐Induced Inheritable Apoptosis Drives Reproductive Costs in Female Insect Vectors to Balance Viral Biparental Transmission

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Rice gall dwarf virus (RGDV), transmitted biparentally by leafhopper vector to their offspring, exploits the capsid protein to induce inheritable ovarian apoptosis via insulin‐driven PI3K/AKT/FoxO signaling axis. This mechanism enhances infection but reduces female reproductive fitness, causing inefficient maternal transmission.

Nap1L4a Cooperates with Scl/Klf1 to Recruit H2A.Z in Mediating Interactions Among Cis‐Regulatory Elements and Transcription Required for Primitive Erythropoiesis in Zebrafish

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nap1l4a is required in erythropoiesis and hypoxia responses via physical interaction with Klf1 and Scl to recruit the histone variant H2A.Z. This facilitates its associated cis‐regulatory element (CRE) remodeling and the consequent chromatin assembly, and activates the transcription of erythroid lineage‐specific genes.

A Multicenter Collaborative Study on the Safety and Efficacy of Laparoscopic Appendectomy During Pregnancy

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) during pregnancy was evaluated in a multicenter retrospective study in Japan. LA showed comparable maternal and fetal safety to open appendectomy (OA), supporting the feasibility and safety of LA in pregnant patients. ABSTRACT Aim Acute appendicitis in pregnant women requires accurate diagnosis and treatment because of ...

“And in some cases, we're the best option:” A qualitative study of community‐based doula support for black perinatal mental health

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract We explored community‐based doulas' perspectives on the acceptability of using formal screening tools to address low rates of mental health screening, diagnosis, and treatment for perinatal anxiety and depression among Black women. Using thematic analysis, we analyzed interview data from 30 community‐based doulas who support Black families ...
