Joint Effects of Prenatal Antibiotics, Mode of Birth and Breastfeeding Duration on Childhood Infections: The Norwegian MoBa Cohort Study

Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Prenatal antibiotic exposure and caesarean births are associated with an increased risk of hospitalised infection in children, but few studies have evaluated their impact on less severe infections and possible joint effects. Conversely, longer breastfeeding duration is protective against infections, but whether this effect varies ...

Population-level analyses identify host and environmental variables influencing the vaginal microbiome

Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy
The vaginal microbiome is critical for the reproductive health of women, yet the differential impacts exerted by the host and by ambient environmental variables on the vaginal microbiome remain largely unknown.

Effect of pathogens on the vaginal microbiome

, 2023
The human body is heavily populated with a wide variety of microorganisms. These microorganisms form coherent communities, which in contact with specific human organs form microbiomes. Each microbiome is unique in its composition.

The oral microbiota and periodontal health in orthodontic patients

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract The oral microbiota develops within the first 2 years of childhood and becomes distinct from the parents by 4 years‐of‐age. The oral microbiota plays an important role in the overall health/symbiosis of the individual. Deviations from the state of symbiosis leads to dysbiosis and an increased risk of pathogenicity.

The vaginal microbiome of transgender men receiving gender-affirming hormonal therapy in comparison to that of cisgender women

Scientific Reports
The vaginal microbiome of trans men and menopausal women is suspected to be similar due to a lack of estrogen leading to the absence of lactobacilli. However, data are scarce.

Metagenomic characterization of the vaginal microbiome

, 2017
Background: The vaginal microbiome is a dynamic environment colonized by a wide array of microorganisms. Although bacterial vaginosis (BV) is characterized by a disruption in the normal bacterial microbiome of the vagina, the factors contributing to ...

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

Experimental 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 ...
