Background: Perinatal depression is a predominant and serious condition that adversely affects prenatal and postpartum women and their children. Prenatal depression is a notable predictor of postpartum depression, highlighting the need for mental health care during pregnancy. Therefore, we developed an innovative smartphone application based on interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) to improve depressive symptoms in women in the perinatal period (i.

Microplastics (MPs), defined as plastic particles smaller than 5 mm, have emerged as a significant environmental pollutant, raising concerns about their potential health risks. Emerging evidence shows that MPs can reach human tissues, including the placenta, causing oxidative stress, inflammation, and endocrine disruption These issues are particularly concerning for vulnerable populations like pregnant women and infants, where exposure could negatively impact fetal development and health outcomes. This systematic review, adhering to PRISMA guidelines, aimed to identify and evaluate studies on the impact of microplastic exposure on pregnancy outcomes and early childhood development.

Purpose Of Review: Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) encompasses a spectrum of disorders ranging from snoring to complete upper airway collapse and cessation of respiration leading to oxygen desaturation and sleep fragmentation. SDB is highly prevalent in the pregnant population, particularly predisposed to SDB because of physiological changes such as hormonal changes, changes to body habitus, and respiratory mechanics due to the gravid uterus.
Recent Findings: The disorder has been associated with adverse maternal outcomes in pregnancy such as gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, impaired glucose metabolism, severe maternal cardiovascular morbidity, and long-term morbidity, as well as maternal mental health conditions with potential societal consequences.

BACKGROUND Pregnancy-related anatomical and physiological changes, such as mucosal edema and increased oxygen demand, heighten risk of difficult airway, especially under general anesthesia. This study compared effects of spinal and general anesthesia on postoperative airway assessment tests in cesarean deliveries. We hypothesized upper airway changes can occur depending on anesthesia technique.
