Perinatal mortality in the Netherlands. Backgrounds of a worsening international ranking [PDF]
Perinatal mortality rates have dropped sharply in the past few decades, in the Netherlands as well as in all other European countries. However, as the decrease has generally slowed down since the 1980s, the Netherlands has lost its prominent position in ...

Recurrence of Preeclampsia in Northern Tanzania: A Registry-based Cohort Study. [PDF]
Preeclampsia occurs in about 4 per cent of pregnancies worldwide, and may have particularly serious consequences for women in Africa. Studies in western countries have shown that women with preeclampsia in one pregnancy have a substantially increased ...

The “costly son” hypothesis: Sons exacerbate obstetrical dilemmas in humans and other mammals
Abstract Human childbirth has often been considered uniquely difficult among mammals, yet recent evidence suggests that obstructed labor and fetopelvic disproportion are widespread across placental mammals. Here, we propose the “costly son” hypothesis: because male offspring are typically larger at birth, they impose greater obstetric risk on mothers ...

Engineering Biology Beyond Single Genes: Advances and Challenges in Multiplex Genome Editing
Multiplex genome editing is transforming genome engineering from single‐gene perturbation to network‐level control, yet its broader application remains limited by challenges in gRNA array engineering, delivery technologies, and safety management. Emerging AI‐driven approaches are accelerating guide RNA design and CRISPR effector optimization for ...

Clock Genes Regulate Ca2+ Signaling and Mitochondrial Bioenergetics to Inhibit Sjögren Disease
Objective Although Ca2+ signaling and metabolism have been identified as key determinants for the development of Sjögren disease (SjD), the intricate connection between them and salivary gland physiology remains poorly understood. Methods Fluorescence‐based Ca2+ imaging, RNA sequencing, and mitochondrial activity were used to investigate the effects of

Two-stage approach for prediction of small-for-gestational-age neonate and adverse perinatal outcome by routine ultrasound examination at 35-37 weeks' gestation [PDF]
Background: Justification of prenatal screening for small for gestational age (SGA) fetuses near term is based on first, evidence that such fetuses / neonates are at increased risk of stillbirth and adverse perinatal outcome, and second, the expectation ...

Clinical and Genetic Factors Associated With Regression in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders
ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a heterogeneous neurodevelopmental condition with complex genetic and environmental underpinnings. A clinically significant subset of children with ASD experience developmental regression (regASD), characterized by the acute loss of previously acquired skills. The mechanisms, predictors, and molecular basis of

Sixth-Month Perinatal Outcomes of Anemic Pregnancies
OBJECTIVE: In this study, we retrospectively compare the outcomes of anemia in 3rd trimester pregnant women who applied to our clinic, in terms of maternal factors and its fetal effects, in 0 and 6th months.
