Article Abstract
Background: This study aimed to examine the relationship between mothers' knowledge related to treatment management of type 1 diabetes (T1D), with perceptions of coping with diabetes-related stress and to examine the relationship between children's metabolic control and maternal coping. A cross-sectional study was done among ninety-two mothers of T1D children.
Methods: Data were collected using a structured questionnaire, Ways of coping questionnaire (WCQ), and Diabetes Knowledge questionnaire-24 (DKQ-24).
Results: The most important predictors of the total knowledge scores among mothers were father education ( < 0.0001), followed by child age and sex ( < 0.0001), while the most important coping scales affected by total knowledge scores was accepting responsibility ( = 0.01). There were positive correlation between HBA1C and escape-avoidance and positive reappraisal coping scales ( = 0.24, = 0.02 and = 0.23, = 0.02, respectively). Blood glucose level was the most important clinical characteristics affecting the use of seeking social support coping scale among mothers.
Conclusions: Parents with more knowledge of diabetes and with better education were able to cope more effective and maintain a better glycemic control of their diabetic children.

Knowledge of post-cesarean home care among postpartum mothers in Central Tanzania: Baseline findings from a quasi-experimental study.

Background: The increasing rate of cesarean section births is a global concern, including in Tanzania, where cesarean section births account for 11% of live births. Following a cesarean section, mothers are commonly discharged early to reduce ward congestion; as a result, they are required to receive care at home. However, evidence indicates that mothers receive limited or no information on post-cesarean section home care, which increases the risk of complications.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a potentially chronic infection that can be transmitted from mother to child with the risk of developing cirrhosis, liver failure and hepatocellular carcinoma. There is a safe and effective vaccine to prevent vertical transmission that is recommended to be given as soon as possible after birth and within 24 hours.When a woman with HBV refuses the birth dose of HBV vaccine for her baby, infectious diseases and safeguarding teams are asked to provide urgent opinions on whether this crosses the threshold for triggering child protection mechanisms.

Innate-like T cells (ILT), including γδ T cells (Vδ2s), Natural Killer T cells (NKTs) and Mucosal-associated Invariant T cells (MAITs), integrate innate and adaptive immunity, playing important roles in homeostatic conditions as well as during infection or inflammation. ILT are present on both sides of the fetal-maternal interface, but our knowledge of their phenotypical and functional features in neonates is limited. Using spectral flow cytometry we characterized cord blood ILT in neonates born to healthy women and women living with HIV.

Background: Despite evidence that mothers-in-law (MILs) influence daughters-in-law's (DILs) fertility and family planning decisions in South Asia, emphasizing early fertility and male grandchildren, few reproductive health interventions engage MILs directly.
Objectives: We assessed the feasibility, acceptability, and qualitative impact of a reproductive health and life skill-based intervention on MILs in tribal Rajasthan, India, using a mixed-methods, single-group cluster pilot study.
Methods: We tested a light-touch four-session intervention delivered over 4 months to MILs of newly married women that covered MILs' health, conception, and communication with DILs and sons and addressed modern healthcare misconceptions, while challenging son preference and fertility norms.
"You Want to Eat Healthy, Especially When You're Pregnant. But Sometimes, It's Just Not Possible": Perceptions of Facilitators and Barriers to Healthy Food and Diet Practices During Pre-Conception and Pregnancy.

Background: Evidence suggests that women should eat a healthy diet during pre-conception and pregnancy as this benefits their own health as well as reducing the risk of non-communicable diseases in offspring (such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular and mental health problems); however, previous work indicates that the recommendations are not being followed. This study aimed to understand: the facilitators and barriers to healthy food and diet practices during pre-conception and pregnancy; how these barriers could be addressed, and the changes required to facilitate good food practices.
Methods: The research used a qualitative approach; five online focus groups were undertaken with 19 women living across the UK who were trying to conceive, pregnant or had babies under 6-months old.
