Article Abstract
Background: Traditionally an advanced maternal age have been associated with a higher risk of unfavorable perinatal results.
Objective: to know the perinatal outcomes in women giving birth at age 40 or older during a year in a concentration hospital located at Monterrey, Nuevo León.
Patients And Methods: In a retrospective, cross-sectional, study.
Results: 163 women and 170 newborn were included. A newborn death (5.8 x 1000 RN) and no one maternal death was observed. The most frequent maternal associated disease was gestational diabetes (16%) followed by the hypertensive disorders (10%). The cesarean rate was 71.1% and the most frequent indication was previous cesarean. The most frequent hospitalization cause was early premature labour (4.2%). Premature membrane was observed in 11% of patients. The mean delivery time was at 38 weeks with a mean body weight of 3032 g. There were 5 newborn with congenital malformations (2.9%). 21 newborns were hospitalized (12%) and the most frequent indication was prematurity.
Conclusion: Women giving birth at age 40 or older observed a higher gestational diabetes incidence followed by the pregnancy-induced hypertension. The cesarean delivery was the most frequent mode of delivery. We consider that the perinatal outcomes in this study were favorable for both mother and child.

Purpose: Neonatal mortality is a significant global health issue, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. This study aims to identify and understand the factors contributing to high neonatal mortality rates in the cities of Kerman and Bam, Iran, to develop effective strategies for improvement.
Design/methodology/approach: We employed systems dynamics to develop Causal Loop Diagrams that capture qualitative interactions among determinants of neonatal mortality.

This Commentary is part of the Special Issue titled . The Issue examines the Global Financing Facility (GFF) through the lens of nine papers that explore the content and development processes of GFF country documents. While the GFF achieved technical alignment with national reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health priorities, it did not consistently translate into the mobilization of increased domestic resources.

Introduction: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), caused by pathogenic variants in the survival motor neuron (SMN) gene, is the most common genetic cause of mortality in children under the age of two. Prior reports of obstetric sonograms performed in pregnancies with severe forms of fetal SMA have discrepant findings that may stem from a failure to account for the SMN2 copy number.
Methods: We present a neonate diagnosed with SMA type 0 postnatally (0SMN1/1SMN2 genotype).

This commentary examines the learnings from different countries included in the Special Series: . Studies focused on the initial phase of the GFF and highlighted key themes, including power asymmetries, stakeholder engagement, the alignment of funding to health needs, and the treatment of community health and quality of care within GFF-supported programs. This commentary reflects on policy processes and health financing dynamics emerging from the papers in the Special Series and examines what it means for the new strategy in development by the GFF.

Bivalve mollusks represent a taxonomically and economically significant clade within Mollusca. However, the regulatory mechanisms governing their embryonic development remain poorly characterized. The dwarf surf clam ( ), characterized by a short generation time and high fecundity, has recently gained recognition as an ideal model system for bivalve embryological research.
