Article Abstract

Objective: To identify the blood type of specimens from pregnant patients with difficult-to-type ABO status, and to guide clinical safe blood transfusion.

Methods: The specimens from 36 pregnant patients with suspicious ABO blood group were collected. These specimens were submitted by clinical institutions from various regions to our center's genetic testing platform from January 2021 to December 2022. The blood group phenotypes and genotypes of these specimens were identified by serological method and genetic sequencing.

Results: A total of 20 ABO subtypes were detected in the 36 samples, including 10 cases of , 3 cases of , 2 cases of , 1 case of , 1 case of , 1 case of , 1 case of , and 1 case of . Additionally, 4 cases were identified as para-Bombay blood type, and no specific variations associated with abnormal phenotypes were found in the remaining 12 cases.

Conclusion: ABO subtypes interfere with ABO blood group identification in pregnant patients, and pregnancy status also affects blood group phenotype. Accurate determination of blood group genotype by genetic sequencing technology can guide clinical blood transfusion for pregnant patients, and ensure maternal and infant safety.

Background: Phthalates are compounds used as plasticizers to increase the flexibility of plastics and are considered endocrine disruptors. Some studies suggest that the origin of prostate cancer (PCa) may be associated with disturbances during embryo-fetal development. Previous data showed that perinatal exposure to the same phthalate mixture (PM) used here increased the incidence of adenocarcinomas in the prostates of aged rats.

Objective: This study aimed to explore participant reflections after receipt of prenatal genome sequencing (GS) results in the absence of fetal anomalies.

Methods: Participants invited to complete a semi-structured interview consented to future research, were English speaking, and were between 30 days and 1 year since the conclusion of their sequenced pregnancy. A total of 18 interviews were conducted with 21 participants (3 couples interviewed concurrently) representing 15 unique pregnancies (81% term deliveries, 14% terminated pregnancies, and 5% preterm delivery).

Introduction: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is common in pregnancy and is increasing in prevalence. It is associated with an increased risk of maternal and perinatal complications if not diagnosed and managed early. Most guidelines suggest making a diagnosis of GDM using an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy at which stage there still is an increased risk of complications.

Background: We aimed to describe the prevalence of exposure to traumatic events and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in pregnant women attending antenatal care (ANC) in rural Ethiopia. We hypothesised that antenatal PTSD symptoms would be associated with previous obstetric complications and intimate partner violence (IPV) and impact negatively on women´s satisfaction with ANC.

Methods: The design was a facility-based cross-sectional study in primary health centres providing ANC in southern Ethiopia.
