Article Abstract
. Extra-uterine transition difficulties including BP abnormalities have been documented following perinatal asphyxia. . The study aimed to determine the BP changes in the early neonatal transitioning period. . This comparative, cross-sectional study was conducted at the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital, Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria. A total of 246 term babies were analyzed. Their mean (standard deviation) systolic, diastolic and mean arterial blood pressures (SBP, DBP, and MBP) at birth were 68.2 (9.0), 39.9 (7.0), and 49.4 (6.9) mmHg and 67.4 (7.9), 37.1 (6.1), and 47.2 (5.8) mmHg, respectively. Asphyxiated neonates had significantly higher initial DBP ( < .001) and MAP ( = .008), lower SBP ( < .001) and MAP ( = .024) at 6 hours and lower SBP at 12 hours after birth, statistically. . This study showed that while the BP of healthy neonates steadily increases in the first 48 hours after birth, it fluctuated markedly within the first 12 hours of birth among asphyxiated babies.

A vaccine emergency-when to overrule parental refusal of vaccination at birth for prevention of vertical transmission of hepatitis B virus?

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.

Background: There is a lack of evidence on the importance of pain or other aspects of clinical care in the overall patient experience and patient-centered outcomes in cesarean delivery. The purpose of this study was to discover patient priorities in cesarean delivery anesthesia experience, to compare patient and provider perspectives, and to explore attitudes on shared decision-making around anesthesia choices for cesarean delivery.
Methods: Patients with recent cesarean deliveries and clinical care providers were approached using a purposeful sampling strategy for this prospective observational qualitative study.
The role of mobility and air-conditioning in prenatal temperature exposure and birth outcomes: A prospective birth cohort study in Guangzhou.

School of Public Health, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou 510080, China. Electronic address:
Climate change has heightened awareness of the health impacts of non-optimal temperatures (cold and heat), including the effect of gestational exposure and birth outcomes. However, temperature exposure assessment remains methodologically challenging due to unaccounted individual spatiotemporal mobility and adaptive behaviors, a gap that has not been adequately addressed in published studies. Using data from a prospective birth cohort in Guangzhou, China, conducted from 2017 to 2020, we assessed and compared three different exposure measures: home-based exposure, derived solely from ambient temperature data at residential locations; mobility-based exposure, incorporating individuals' spatiotemporal activities to capture dynamic environmental conditions; and AC & mobility-based exposure, an extension of the mobility-based approach that further integrates data on air-conditioning usage.

Objectives: To assess potential associations between maternal employment after childbirth with subsequent child mental health problems.
Methods: We analyzed 536 families of a prospective birth cohort to estimate trajectory classes of maternal employment 0-36 months postpartum. Multivariable linear regression models were employed to examine associations between (1) trajectory classes and (2) maternal employment status at 12 months postpartum with child mental health problems at 4, 5, and 6 years of age.
