Objective: The study utilized non-invasive myocardial work indices to investigate myocardial injury in infants born to mothers with severe preeclampsia (SPE) and to explore the duration of this myocardial damage during the neonatal period.

Methods: This prospective study included 34 preterm infants born to mothers with SPE and 28 preterm infants born to mothers without severe pregnancy complications (termed "controls"). Echocardiography was performed in infants within 24 h of birth, then again at 48-72 h and 14-28 days, to obtain echocardiographic parameters.

Objectives: Recommendations regarding the use of third-trimester ultrasound lack universal consensus. Yet, there is evidence which supports its value in assessing fetal growth, fetal well-being, and a number of pregnancy-related complications. This literature review evaluates the available scientific evidence regarding its applications, usefulness, and the timing of the third-trimester scan in a low-risk population.

Objective: To investigate adverse pregnancy and delivery outcomes in women with GDMA1 during pregnancies conceived through fertility treatments.

Methods: This population-based retrospective cohort study examined adverse pregnancy and delivery outcomes in pregnancies affected by GDMA1 following fertility treatments compared to those conceived naturally. Women with GDMA1 who conceived via fertility treatments were classified as cases, while those who conceived naturally were designated as controls.

Background: The increasing rate of cesarean section births is a global concern, including in Tanzania, where cesarean section births account for 11% of live births. Following a cesarean section, mothers are commonly discharged early to reduce ward congestion; as a result, they are required to receive care at home. However, evidence indicates that mothers receive limited or no information on post-cesarean section home care, which increases the risk of complications.

Background: Meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS), a common cause of respiratory failure in late preterm and term neonates, is associated with a high risk of mortality and morbidity. Amongst all the treatment modalities for severe MAS, surfactant administration has a proven role in decreasing progressive respiratory failure.

Methods: The present open-label randomised controlled trial aimed to determine the effect of early (≤ 2 h) bolus surfactant therapy as compared to standard care on the total duration of respiratory support.
