Angiogenic Serum Biomarker Levels Are Related to Onset of Labour in Low‐Risk Term and Post‐Term Pregnancies: A Prospective Observational Cohort Study

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, Volume 133, Issue 9, Page 1777-1784, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate whether angiogenic biomarkers at term in low‐risk pregnancies are associated with the timing of spontaneous and induced labour, and to assess changes from term to post‐term gestation. Design Prospective, non‐interventional, observational cohort study. Setting Single tertiary care centre, Switzerland.

Labour epidural analgesia and early childhood behavioural outcomes: the moderating role of maternal mental health and pro‐inflammatory cytokines

Anaesthesia, Volume 81, Issue 8, Page 1079-1090, August 2026.
Summary Introduction Labour epidural analgesia is the most effective method for intrapartum pain relief and is associated with improved maternal outcomes. However, concerns have been raised regarding potential associations between labour epidural analgesia and adverse psycho‐emotional outcomes in children. Evidence from large epidemiological studies is

Priming of labor with tafoxiparin in nulliparous term pregnant women with unripe cervix—Proof‐of‐concept and dose‐finding results from a randomized controlled trial

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, Volume 105, Issue 8, Page 1566-1577, August 2026.
This study shows that tafoxiparin 300 mg can increase the rate of cervical ripening and the likelihood of spontaneous onset of labor, while also reducing the duration of labor in women achieving spontaneous onset of labor. The favorable safety profile of tafoxiparin suggests suitability for routine clinical use, including home administration.

Physiological cardiotocography interpretation and neonatal morbidity: A historical pre–post cohort study in a tertiary perinatal center

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, Volume 105, Issue 8, Page 1578-1586, August 2026.
In this historical pre–post cohort study, the implementation of physiological cardiotocography (PCI) interpretation was associated with reduced neonatal morbidity, neonatal acidosis, and neonatal unit admission. Adjusted cesarean section rates did not increase, supporting PCI as a promising approach to intrapartum fetal surveillance.

Biofluid Biomarkers of Cognitive Functioning in Bipolar Disorder: A Systematic Review by the Targeting Cognition and Older‐Age Bipolar Disorder ISBD Task Forces

Bipolar Disorders, Volume 28, Issue 5, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Cognitive impairment is common in bipolar disorder (BD), but the underlying pathophysiology remains unclear. This systematic review aimed to (1) summarize all literature describing relationships of biofluid biomarkers and cognition in BD and (2) identify which biofluid biomarkers correlate most consistently with cognition in BD ...

Perinatal women dominantly protect—rather than submissively cede—resources when interacting with threatening‐looking others

British Journal of Psychology, Volume 117, Issue 3, Page 1106-1118, August 2026.
Abstract When competing for resources, people appear particularly sensitive to social cues of threat, tending to submissively cede resources to more (vs. less) threatening‐looking others. This tendency appears especially pronounced among those that are physically weaker and thus more vulnerable to harm.
