Article Abstract
Prolactinomas are a common cause of infertility in women. Medical treatment with dopamine agonists (DAs) has an excellent efficacy at restoring fertility and a reassuring safety profile in early pregnancy. Surgical treatment before conception is required in some cases of large macroadenomas and incomplete treatment response. In women with microprolactinomas, the pregnancy course is usually uneventful. In women with macroprolactinomas that are near/abut the optic chiasm, symptomatic tumor enlargement can occur during pregnancy and require a multidisciplinary team approach. This review provides an update regarding outcomes and management of prolactinomas before conception, during pregnancy, and postpartum.

Background: Maternal childhood maltreatment has been associated with higher risk of adverse neurodevelopment in offspring. Chronic systemic inflammation has been associated with childhood maltreatment and has been identified as a gestational risk factor for adverse neurodevelopment in offspring. Thus, inflammation may be a mechanism by which maternal exposure to maltreatment affects offspring neurodevelopment.

Studies have shown that excessive obstetric interventions such as induced labor and caesarean sections have contributed to the shortening of the length of gestation, leading to a left shift in gestational age (GA) at birth. The aim of this study was to analyze trends in GA and the contribution of associated factors to changes in São Paulo city, Brazil during the period 2012-2019. We conducted an observational time-series study of births in São Paulo using data from Brazil's national live births information system (SINASC).
