gestational weight gain/atrophy

OBJECTIVE Can gestational weight gain in obese women be restricted by 10-h dietary consultations and does this restriction impact the pregnancy-induced changes in glucose metabolism? METHODS A randomized controlled trial with or without restriction of gestational weight gain to 6-7 kg by ten 1-h

Infant mortality is one of the leading public health problems in the United States today. During the first half of this century the decline in infant mortality resulted largely from a reduction in postneonatal deaths (2-11 months after birth). Since 1950, two-thirds of all infant deaths have

An isocaloric protein-deficient diet (0.5 gm/kg of body weight) was administered throughout pregnancy to 10 rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta). Ligation of the fetal interplacental bridging vessels (n = 6) and functional fetal hypophysectomy (experimental induction of anencephaly) (n = 10) were

Background: As Medicaid has increasingly financed managed care plans since the 1990s, it is important to understand the corresponding impacts on the well-being of disadvantaged mothers and infants. This study examines how a Medicaid managed care (MMC) program in Pennsylvania (PA) impacts

Inhalation developmental and reproductive toxicity studies were conducted with 2,3-dichloro-1,3-butadiene (DCBD), a monomer used in the production of synthetic rubber. In the reproductive toxicity study, Crl:CD(SD)IGS BR rats (24/sex/group) were exposed whole body by inhalation to 0, 1, 5, or 50 ppm

BACKGROUND The survival of patients with cystic fibrosis has increased. More women with cystic fibrosis reach reproductive age and wish to become pregnant. The aim of this work was to study the outcome of completed pregnancies in women with cystic fibrosis in Norway and Sweden. METHODS A

Dibromochloropropane (DBCP), a brominated organochlorine nematocide, has been used since the mid-1950s. Its primary value was its effectiveness on perennial crops without damaging the plants. DBCP also had less acute toxicity than earlier soil fumigants such as ethylene dibromide. DBCP became widely

BACKGROUND In spite of its industrial usefulness and varied daily uses, lead (Pb) pollution is a widespread ecological problem that faces the humans in the 21th century. Pb was found to produces a wide range of toxic effects including neurotoxicity especially to the developing and young offspring.

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to explore changes in health-related quality of life, anxiety and depression symptoms during pregnancy in women with pregestational diabetes. METHODS An observational cohort study including 137 pregnant women with pregestational diabetes (110 with type 1 and 27

Background: Achalasia may occasionally occur among women of childbearing age. Pregnancy may lead to deterioration of the disease and negatively affect maternal and perinatal outcomes. However, the impact of peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) on reproductive outcomes has been

Gestational diabetes mellitus reflects impaired maternal insulin secretion relative to demand prior to pregnancy, as well as temporary metabolic stressors imposed by the placenta and fetus. Thus, after delivery, women with gestational diabetes have increased risk of diabetes and recurrent
