Given the high rate of maternal and infant mortality in Indonesia [18], it is therefore paramount to establish up-to-date baseline information on BMI and GWG and their possible consequences for mothers and babies. This study was therefore conducted to determine maternal pre-pregnancy BMI and GWG...
Pre-eclampsia is a life-threatening disease of pregnancy unique to humans and a leading cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Women who survive pre-eclampsia have reduced life expectancy, with increased risks of stroke, cardiovascular disease and diabetes, while babies from a pre-...
Second, it is a great lab animal because it doesn’t need much care, is small (80–300 g), has a fast rate of reproduction (three to four babies a year), and is resistant to diseases3,4,5,6. Its short incubation period and easy access to its egg makes it a great model for ...
based on which longitudinal Mediterranean diet trajectories were identified. CVD incidence was recorded at 20 years. Each one-unit increase in baseline MedDietScore was associated with an 8% reduction
We noted no significant differences between vitamin and placebo groups for any maternal outcome, including delivery after a hypertension-related admission before 34 or 37 weeks, but fewer babies were born preterm (<37 weeks' gestation) in the vitamin group than in the placebo group (table 3). ...

We, therefore, proposed that NKB could be a signal sent from the placenta to the mother in order to maximize blood flow to the feto-placental unit. It is also possible for NKB to progressively stimulate other NK receptors (NK1 and NK2) and cause the additional clinical features associated...
(P<0.05) than in the control but were similar in the two groups at 5 min. A large proportion of the neonates in both groups were pre-term with low birth weight and admitted to theneonatal intensive care unit. Babies of remifentanil-treated mothers had a greater need for resuscitative ...
All babies were admitted after birth to the neonatal intensive care unit of the Royal Maternity Hospital, Belfast. The Research Ethics Committee of the Queen's University of Belfast granted ethical approval and parents gave written consent. Babies were recruited after parents had chosen a specific ...
