Lady Parts and Baby Parts: What Is a Fetus?

open access: yesPhilosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A common‐sense view of mammalian pregnancy treats the fetus as (a) an organism and (b) co‐extensive with the approximately baby‐shaped entity developing in the uterus.

Placental Abruption and Perinatal Mortality: Abnormal Placentation and Spontaneous Abortion as Contributors to Left Truncation Bias

ABSTRACT Background Generally, studies in perinatal epidemiology restrict cohort entry to 20 weeks of gestation, but exposures and outcomes may occur earlier. This restriction may introduce left truncation bias. Objectives To examine the impact of left truncation bias when estimating the causal effect of abruption on perinatal mortality in the context ...

Major Causes of Perinatal and Paediatric Mortality in Sub‐Saharan Africa and South Asia: Adjustment for Selection Bias in the CHAMPS Network

Objectives Estimate cause‐specific mortality fractions and rates for the five most frequent causes—underlying ...

open access: yesExperimental 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 ...
