The Impact of Obstetric Interventions on the Birth Experience
The Childbirth Experience Questionnaire (CEQ2) was used to investigate how medical interventions influence the individual birth experience. The overall experience was rated positively. In a recent study by researchers from the universities of Cologne and Düsseldorf as well as University Hospital Bonn, mothers across Germany were asked how they rated their experiences of 'own capacity'

Unveiling the Mind’s Mark: Unique Brain Adaptations in Individuals Born Blind
Neuroscientists reveal that the part of the brain that receives and processes visual information in sighted people develops a unique connectivity pattern in people born blind. They say this pattern in the primary visual cortex is unique to each person -- akin to a fingerprint. A study led by Georgetown University neuroscientists reveals that the

Maternal Flu’s Alarming Effects on Fetal Brain Development Revealed in Groundbreaking Mouse Study
New research using live mouse-adapted influenza virus improves upon previous mouse experiments to explain how maternal infection impacts fetal brain development. The study also indicates fetal brain changes are more likely once the severity of the mother's infection meets a specific threshold. A bad case of the flu during pregnancy can increase the risk for
Revolutionizing Child Language Learning with Generative AI: A New Era in Education
Researchers create a storybook generation system for personalized vocabulary learning. Professor Inseok Hwang from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, along with students Jungeun Lee, Suwon Yoon, and Kyoosik Lee from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at POSTECH in collaboration with Professor Dongsun Yim from Ewha Womans University's Department of Communication Disorders
Understanding Mammal Intelligence: Why Size Doesn’t Matter for Brain Complexity
Mammals that have evolved more developed brains tend to have a smaller size difference between males and females of that species, according to new research. In many mammal species, the males can be bigger than the females (or vice versa), a trait called sexual size dimorphism (SSD). For example, male elephant seals are around three
Study Finds Long-Acting Injectable Cabotegravir Safe for HIV Prevention During Pregnancy
Long-acting injectable cabotegravir (CAB-LA) was safe and well tolerated as HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) before and during pregnancy in the follow-up phase of a global study among cisgender women.

Effective Strategies for Preventing Brain Damage in Preterm Babies
An interdisciplinary team of physicians and scientists show for the first time that a blood protein called fibrin blocks an essential biological process that drives brain development in early life. They identified a root cause of developmental delays that result from brain bleeds in premature infants, opening a path for new therapeutic strategies to counter
Early Detection of miRNAs in Maternal Blood: A Promising Method for Predicting Preeclampsia
A new study finds that early detection of specific microRNAs (miRNAs) packaged in vesicles may offer the opportunity to predict preeclampsia in pregnant people before clinical symptoms manifest. Preeclampsia (PE) is a significant contributor to the increase in maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide, with particularly alarming numbers in the United States, where it affects about
Transforming Black Maternal Health: Virtual Reality Training for Physicians to Address Disparities
A virtual reality training series being developed for medical students and physicians teaches them about implicit bias in their communications with their patients who are people of color and how that affects race-based health care disparities. During a checkup with her obstetrician, Marilyn Hayes tells him about overwhelming exhaustion and possible symptoms of postpartum depression
Enhancing Pediatric HIV Treatment: Best Practices for Children and Adolescents
Globally, around 2.6 million children and adolescents are currently living with HIV, the majority of them in Africa. These young people are much more likely to experience treatment failure than adults. Experts long assumed that testing for viral drug resistance could improve treatment in cases where treatment has failed. However, a research team now shows
Green Neighborhoods and Children’s Lung Function: A Surprising Connection
A large study of 35,000 children from eight countries has found a 'robust' link between exposure to green spaces in early childhood and better lung function. The study used data from 10 European birth cohorts from 8 countries to conduct a meta-analysis. This assessment of the data was done at the individual level for each
