Antenatal Magnesium Sulfate for Tocolysis and Early Enteral Feeding in Preterm Infants: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Pediatrics International, Volume 68, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Antenatal administration of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) is employed for fetal neuroprotection, and its extended use for tocolysis remains prevalent in certain regions. The impact of MgSO4 on neonatal gastrointestinal function is contentious, with evidence indicating variability across subpopulations.

The Association Between Use of Inhaled Corticosteroids and Long‐Acting Beta2‐Agonists During Pregnancy and Adverse Fetal Outcomes

Respirology, Volume 31, Issue 1, Page 32-41, January 2026.
This study updated safety evidence on ICS and LABA use in pregnant women with asthma. After adjusting confounders, there was no association between ICS or LABA use and adverse fetal outcomes. However, high‐dose ICS exposure was associated with a higher risk of congenital anomalies among ICS users.

Cesarean Section at 38 Gestational Weeks for Placenta Previa was Associated With Improved Neonatal Outcomes Without an Apparent Increase in Maternal Risks: A Historical Control Study

Obstetrics and Gynecology International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background and Aims The optimal timing of cesarean delivery in women with placenta previa (PP) remains controversial because earlier delivery may reduce maternal risks, whereas later delivery may improve neonatal outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate whether delaying planned cesarean section (CS) until 38 gestational weeks was associated with improved

Mitochondrial Disease Diagnosed Following Preterm Birth at 29 Weeks of Gestation and Postpartum Heart Failure: A Case Report and Literature Review

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT In some cases, mitochondrial disease can remain undiagnosed until pregnancy reveals systemic symptoms. Clinicians should therefore consider this diagnosis in young patients presenting with diabetes, kidney disease, and hearing loss. Early diagnosis can improve maternal and fetal outcomes, particularly in high‐risk pregnancies complicated by ...
