Researchers identify biomarker panel that could help predict gestational diabetes in early pregnancy — ScienceDaily
UCLA researchers have taken the initial step in identifying what may be an effective way to detect gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) earlier in pregnancy, potentially improving diagnosis and treatment for what is the most common disorder of pregnancy. The study ...
Researchers identify possible new target to treat newborns suffering from lack of oxygen or blood flow in the brain — ScienceDaily
One of the most common causes of disability or death in newborns is a lack of oxygen or blood flow in the brain during labor or delivery. The condition, known as hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), can result in severe brain damage, ...
New hope for treatment of infant cancer that has puzzled researchers for decades — ScienceDaily
New research has begun to unravel the mystery of why a particular form of leukaemia in infants has defied efforts to improve outcomes, despite significant improvements in treating older children. Scientists from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, Great Ormond Street Hospital, ...

Scientists have known for years that a person’s risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) can be lowered with lifestyle changes such as modifying diet, exercise, alcohol and tobacco use. Now Anand Chockalingam and Sharan Srinivas at the University of Missouri demonstrate ...
COVID-19 may cause fetal inflammation even in absence of placental infection, researchers report — ScienceDaily
Researchers at the Wayne State University School of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health’s Perinatology Research Branch in Detroit have found that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, may cause fetal inflammation even in the absence of placental infection. ...
Researchers recommend increased prenatal surveillance for patients with sepsis and other serious infections — ScienceDaily
Individuals who are hospitalized during pregnancy due to sepsis have higher odds of complications surrounding childbirth, according to a study led by researchers at UC San Francisco. The study found that pregnancies complicated by sepsis were associated with an increased ...
Researchers discover biomarkers that indicate early brain injury in extreme premature infants — ScienceDaily
Extremely premature infants are at a high risk for brain damage. Researchers have now found possible targets for the early treatment of such damage outside the brain: Bacteria in the gut of premature infants may play a key role. The ...
Researchers define chain of events leading to dangerous intestinal disorder in preemies — ScienceDaily
In a study with mice reported today in the journal Science Translational Medicine, a Johns Hopkins Medicine research team has provided what may be the most definitive view to date of the biological process leading to necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a ...
