Modeling the impacts of grazing management on livestock behavior and performance: A case study in the Peruvian Andes

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Our modeling study shows that livestock management strongly influences grazing behavior and animal performance in the Peruvian Andes. Furthermore, adjusting stocking rates and improving animal distribution can enhance forage intake and body condition while increasing forage biomass.

Fetal autonomic responses inferred from heart rate variability during recurrent decelerations without acidosis—An observational study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Recurrent fetal heart rate (FHR) decelerations without acidosis are frequently observed during labor; however, the underlying autonomic mechanisms remain incompletely understood. This study explored fetal autonomic responses to recurrent decelerations using FHR and FHR variability (FHRV) parameters.

Maternal overweight and obesity during pregnancy and sex‐dependent dysregulation of the materno‐fetal stress axis

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Maternal obesity and excess gestational weight gain (GWG) are linked to adverse perinatal outcomes, potentially via disruption of the maternal–fetal stress axis. Placental HSD11B2 protects the fetus from excess glucocorticoids and may influence fetal programming during maternal metabolic stress.
