Abstract:

Background: Few studies have investigated the association of maternal longitudinal hemoglobin (Hb) with small for gestational age during pregnancy. The current study examined the associations of maternal Hb concentrations and Hb changes throughout the middle and late stages of pregnancy with small for gestational age (SGA) in a large prospective cohort study. Methods: This was a prospective cohort study, which enrolled pregnant women at 8–16 weeks of gestation and followed up regularly. Maternal Hb concentrations were measured at the middle (14–27 weeks) and late (28–42 weeks) stages of pregna

Abstract:

Abstract Controlled-flow ion chromatography has significantly improved the precision with which inorganic sulfate (SO4) can be measured in serum. In this study, we have shown that serum SO4 is increased in pregnancy. The increase appears to follow gestational age, resulting in a 39% higher value by the middle of the third trimester. We suggest that this increase is a natural physiological process, which enhances SO4 availability to the growing fetus and placenta.

Abstract:

Lack of access to safe, affordable, timely and adequate pregnancy termination care, and the stigma associated with abortion in low-middle income countries (LMICs), pose a serious risk to women’s physical and mental well-being throughout the lifespan. Factors associated with pregnancy termination and their heterogeneity across countries in LMICs previously have not been thoroughly investigated. We aim to determine the relative significance of factors associated with pregnancy termination in LMICs and its variation across countries.

Abstract:

More and more women in the United States are choosing to delay motherhood until their 30s or even 40s. Yet traditional medical advice warns against midlife pregnancy, predicting a variety of adverse reproductive outcomes associated with “advanced maternal age.” Assignment to a high-risk category may result in heightened feelings of concern about pregnancy complications among midlife mothers. Because it is possible that increased emotionality during pregnancy may itself give rise to various childbearing complications, some middle-aged women may become victims of iatrogenic stress during pregnan

The retrospective study showed no differences in the duration of delivery, Pitocin, mode delivery, complications and effective rate. ‘Small balloon’ is simpler than ‘normal balloon’ and is a safe, reliable induction of labour method for mid-trimester pregnancy.

It is associated with adverse maternal and fetal outcomes such as increased rates of maternal and perinatal mortality, premature delivery, low birth weight and certain anomalies. This study was done to find out the correlation between maternal hemoglobin and birth weight and gestational age of newborn at birth.Methods: This is an observational clinical study, which included 1501 pregnant mother and their newborn babies.

Objective. To evaluate the diagnostic value of the middle cerebral artery to umbilical artery Doppler ratio (MCA/UA ratio) in predicting poor perinatal outcomes in post-term pregnancies. Patients and methods. This study included patients diagnosed with post-term pregnancy who were admitted to the maternity hospitals in Ain Shams University and Al-Azhar University between January 2019 and December 2021. All patients underwent color Doppler velocimetry and were divided into two groups based on the MCA/UA ratio values: group A (n = 100) – MCA/UA ratio <1, and group B (n = 100) – MCA/UA ratio ≥
