Global progress in reducing deaths during pregnancy has flatlined since 2015, according to anew report from the World Health Organization. The report shows that over 4.5 million women and babies die every year
Although it is becoming increasingly evident that maternal starvation during pregnancy can have permanent effects on a range of physiological processes in the offspring, scant information is available about the consequence of such condition for oogenesis and hence for lifetime reproductive success of proge...
In total, more than 2 million deaths (maternal, stillbirths, and neonatal) occur every year during or shortly after childbirth (Fig. 3).3,5,13,27-30 These deaths are closely linked to lack of adequate maternal and neonatal care at this critical time. Globally, at least an estimated 42%...
between abnormal maternal temperature and newborn and early infant outcomes, good routine neonate care should be emphasized, and the infants should be observed for any abnormal findings that may warrant further assessment.#BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth (https://bmcpregnancychildbirth.biomedcentral.com/)...
Most maternal deaths occur during childbirth or within 48 h postpartum, and is most commonly due to postpartum hemorrhage, puerperal sepsis, hypertensive disorders (e.g. eclampsia) or uterine rupture [1, 2]. Maternal mortality differs vastly between high-income countries and low- and middle-...
Pregnancy can be a risky undertaking, particularly the occurrence of maternal complications during childbirth. In 2010, an estimated 1700 maternal deaths occurred in Senegal, with a country-wide maternal mortality ratio (MMR) of 320 deaths per 100,000 live births [1]. The lifetime risk of death...

Women who have a full-term pregnancy by age 18 have nearly a third the risk of breast cancer of women who never experience childbirth. In 2002 a large-scale study was halted due to mounting evidence that Hormone ReplacementTherapy (HRT) combining estrogen & progestin in women with a uterus...
necroptosis can be more immunogenic due to its active production ofinflammatory cytokinesduring cell death in addition to passive rupture of the plasma membrane.4,5Indeed, necroptosis appears more potent in activatingT cellsthan necrosis or apoptosis.5Although necroptosis is commonly believed to guard ...
The Ostuni 1 burial represents an exceptional finding, which directly speaks to the death of both a mother and a fetus during pregnancy. This is only rarely observable in the paleoanthropological record. Human childbirth is known to be difficult and risky in many cases. The so-called obstetrical...
