Floods have affected billions worldwide. Yet, the indirect health impacts of floods on vulnerable groups, particularly women in the developing world, remain underexplored.

Infertility and miscarriage are all part of the spectrum of reproductive failure and as the above statistics show, is one of the commonest reasons for gynaecological referral. For the couple concerned, reproductive failure, causes a great deal of grief and anguish — principally for the woman. ...
Descriptive statistics including medians and quartiles for GS, YS, CRL and HR for each gestational week were calculated by pregnancy loss status. If a patient had a loss before and a continuing pregnancy after, she was allocated to the group which identified the outcome at the time of her ...

Statistics We used unpaired Student’st-tests to assess differences in the proportions of NK cells, macrophage cells, and T cells in healthy controls versus RPL patients. We also used unpaired Student’st-tests to analyze the proportions of dNK cell subsets (dNK1, dNK2, dNK3) and CD39−...
pregnancy loss rate. We use administrative data of clinically observed pregnancies from more than three decades for Hungary. We apply an empirical approach that allows us to infer the impact of temperature on the clinically unobserved pregnancy loss rate from the estimated effects on the clinically ...
