Unveiling the Complexities of Prenatal Exposure Syndromes and Birth Defects Diagnosis

Researchers are using advanced technology and artificial intelligence (AI) to diagnose rare diseases and prenatal exposure-related birth abnormalities in two new studies. Researchers at London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) and Lawson Health Research Institute are using advanced technology and artificial intelligence (AI) to diagnose rare diseases and prenatal exposure-related birth abnormalities in two studies published

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

Revolutionizing Infant Genetics Research: A Game-Changer for Lives

Investment in research into genetics could dramatically improve educational policies and understanding of parenting in ways that could help all children, according to a new paper.

Study: Global Adolescent Fertility Decline Countered by Rising Teen Births in Sub-Saharan Africa

A new report highlights a troubling trend: while global adolescent fertility rates have significantly declined, sub-Saharan Africa is experiencing an increase in teen births. This region's share of global adolescent births surged from 12 percent in 1950 to 47 percent in 2020 and is projected to reach a clear majority -- a full 67 percent

Autism Siblings Study: 20% Chance of Autism Confirmed in Large Research Analysis

A new, large study confirms earlier findings that children with an autistic sibling have a 20% chance of being autistic themselves. Siblings of autistic children have a 20% chance of being autistic themselves -- about seven times higher than the rate in infants with no autistic siblings. That's the key finding of a new paper

Unlocking the Potential: Toddlers’ Cognitive Growth at 16 Months

Toddlers engage more regions of their brains around 16-months to help them develop important cognitive skills enabling them to follow simple instructions and control impulses. Findings from the study suggests 16 months is a critical period for brain development. Toddlers engage more regions of their brains around 16-months to help them develop important cognitive skills

Uncovering the ‘Empathy Gap’ in AI Chatbots: What Children Need to Know

Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots have frequently shown signs of an 'empathy gap' that puts young users at risk of distress or harm, raising the urgent need for 'child-safe AI', according to a new study. The research urges developers and policy actors to prioritize AI design that take greater account of children's needs. It provides evidence

Exploring Spinal Cord Malformations in Embryos: Innovative Study Techniques

Scientists have successfully created mechanical force sensors directly in the developing brains and spinal cords of chicken embryos, which they hope will improve understanding and prevention of birth malformations such as spina bifida. A group of scientists at UCL have successfully created mechanical force sensors directly in the developing brains and spinal cords of chicken

RSV Vaccine Safety During Pregnancy: Study Findings and Impact on Maternal Health

Vaccinating mothers against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) during late pregnancy to protect their newborns is not associated with an increased risk of preterm birth or other poor outcomes. Infants are particularly vulnerable to the virus which can cause a serious lower respiratory illness. Vaccinating mothers against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) during late pregnancy to protect

Common Immune System Mechanism Uncovered: Pregnancy and Cancer Connection

Researchers found a molecular mechanism, shared in cancer and pregnancy, that suppresses the immune system. Block this mechanism, called B7-H4, and the immune system revs up to slow cancer's growth. Looking at mouse models and cell lines of breast and gynecologic cancers, the researchers identified the hormone progesterone as a key regulator of the B7-H4

Cystic Fibrosis Treatment: Triple Combination Therapy Benefits for School-aged Children

Cystic fibrosis is a hereditary disease that so far has been incurable. Those affected have thick, viscous mucus secretions in their lungs, and lung function diminishes steadily over time. Today, triple combination therapy makes it possible to address the root causes of the defect underlying the disease. This form of treatment was recently approved for

Unlocking Creativity in Infants: New Research Reveals Startling Insights

New research indicates that babies can begin grasping complex language and ideas. Infants less than a year old can combine simple concepts into complex ideas, showing that creativity begins in babyhood. According to new research at the University of Birmingham, in the UK, and Central European University, in Austria and Hungary, babies are not only

Brain Tissue Shrinkage in Premature Newborns with Low Birth Weight: Understanding the Impact of Salt and Water Transporters on Neurons

Scientists have found that in premature newborns with very low birth weight, salt and water transporters on immature neurons can cause brain tissue to shrink in response to a lack of oxygen, which in turn results in brain bleeding and lifelong neurological damages. A new study by investigators from Massachusetts General Hospital, a founding member

Uncovering the Impact of Prenatal Cannabis Exposure on Mental Health: Biological Clues Revealed by Researchers

Researchers outline some of the intermediate biological steps that could play into how prenatal cannabis exposure leads to behavioral issues down the line. Scientists are trying to understand how cannabis may affect long term neurodevelopment when people were exposed to it in the womb. Previous work by WashU researchers Sarah Paul and David Baranger in
