The clinical significance and correlation of cord blood NO, activin A levels, and middle cerebral artery (MCA)/umbilical artery (UA) with fetal distress are explored. 120 puerperae who delivered in the obstetrics department of our hospital from January 2021 to January 2022 are selected as the examination subjects. According to the diagnostic criteria of fetal distress, they are divided into 70 cases of fetal distress and 50 cases of normal delivery. The parameters of umbilical cord blood NO, activin A, UA, and MCA are contrast between the two sets, then the diagnostic value of umbilical cord blood NO and activin A combined with UA and MCA in fetal distress is analyzed. The experimental results show cord blood NO and activin A combined with UA and MCA have a high diagnostic value for fetal distress, and there is an extensive correlation with the occurrence of fetal distress, which provides a reliable clinical diagnosis of fetal distress in a timely manner.

Pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy (PUPPP), also known as polymorphic eruption of pregnancy, is a benign inflammatory dermatosis that typically presents in primigravid women during the third trimester of pregnancy. Postpartum onset is rare and often underrecognized. We report a case of a 29-year-old primigravida with a BMI of 38 kg/mwho delivered a healthy 4 kg male infant via emergency cesarean section for fetal distress.

Umbilical artery thrombosis (UAT) is an extremely rare but severe obstetric complication associated with adverse perinatal outcomes, including fetal growth restriction (FGR), fetal distress, and intrauterine fetal demise. This case report highlights the diagnostic challenges of UAT and its potential misdiagnosis as a single umbilical artery (SUA). A 32-year-old woman with a history of uncomplicated vaginal delivery was initially misdiagnosed with SUA at 29 3/7 weeks of gestation.

Postpartum Depression (PPD) and Childbirth Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CB-PTSD) are psychiatric conditions that cause significant distress. Yet despite their high prevalence and decades of research, knowledge about causal cognitive mechanisms that may assist in predicting or preventing these conditions is still missing. One characteristic of PPD and CB-PTSD that may contribute to their early prevention is the existence of cognitive biases concerning future parenting.

Congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) are a group of rare inherited neuromuscular disorders caused by defects in neuromuscular transmission. Unlike autoimmune myasthenia gravis, CMS typically presents in childhood with variable severity and symptoms, and does not involve autoantibodies. This report presents the management of a primigravida diagnosed with CMS who was generally stable on pyridostigmine therapy but experienced a severe exacerbation during pregnancy.
