Objective: To determine if, after adjusting for potential confounders, child health outcomes differ between children exposed to maternal gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and their unexposed peers.
Study Design: Prospective cohort study. Recruitment took place between June 2022 and May 2024. The primary outcome was overweight or obesity. The secondary outcomes were other measures of size, eating behavior, behavioral and emotional problems, neurodevelopmental disorders, atopic disorders, and diabetes. Between-group differences were determined with generalized linear mixed models adjusted for gestational weight gain and socioeconomic status.
Results: Of the 699 children who participated at a mean age of 5.6 years, 295 (42.2%) were exposed to GDM. There was no difference in the risk of being overweight or obese in children exposed to GDM compared with those unexposed (adjusted relative risk [95% CI]: 0.69 [0.44, 1.08]). Children exposed to GDM had lower body mass index z scores (adjusted relative risk [95% CI]: -0.30 [-0.53, -0.60]), enjoyment of food scores (adjusted relative risk [95% CI]: -0.17 [-0.31, -.04]), and risk of abnormal hyperactivity scores (adjusted relative risk [95% CI]: 0.23 [0.06, 0.87])] Other outcomes were similar between exposure groups.
Conclusions: After accounting for confounders, children exposed to treated GDM had a risk of being overweight or obese comparable with their unexposed peers. Our findings are reassuring for parents and health practitioners caring for women who experience GDM and their children.

Introduction: Adolescents supported by child protection services (CPS) represent a population exposed to repeated relational trauma that significantly increases the risk of developing complex trauma characterized by polymorphic symptomatology. The behavioral problems presented by adolescents followed by CPS may fit within this nosographic framework. They can lead to major difficulties in adapting to their environment, especially when the trajectory of polyvictimization is pronounced.

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.

Neonicotinoid insecticides have been identified as significant contributors to the decline of pollinators. To evaluate potential exposure of pollinators to neonicotinoids in South Korea, 79 honey samples and 27 pollen samples were obtained from agricultural, mountain, and urban areas. These samples were analyzed for 17 compounds, including neonicotinoids and their metabolites using liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry.

Objective: To use data-driven approaches to investigate maternal multi-occupational exposures during pregnancy and their effects on intrauterine growth.
Methods: Maternal occupational exposure to 47 factors during pregnancy was evaluated with job-exposure matrices in the French ELFE cohort. The outcomes of interest were birthweight (BW), small for gestational age (SGA) and head circumference (HC).

Background: Phase 1 trials may expose pediatric oncology patients to potential adverse effects beyond drug-related toxicity, including delays in advance care planning and suboptimal quality of end-of-life (EoL) care. Pediatric palliative care (PPC) can provide symptom management support and assist with EoL planning and care for patients and families enrolling in Phase 1 trials; however, little is known about children with cancer who enroll in Phase 1 studies.
Methods: A retrospective medical record review of pediatric oncology patients enrolled on a Phase 1 clinical trial over a 9-year period was completed at an academic cancer hospital.
