Thereafter, optimal concentrations were determined (0.25, 0.5, 1, or 2 %) and used to evaluate reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, apoptosis, and the gene expression of motility-related sperm mitochondria-associated cysteine-rich protein, apoptosis-related B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2), and BCL2-associated X protein (BAX) in cryopreserved sperm.

BACKGROUND Around 2% of births in Ontario, Canada involve the use of assisted reproductive technology (ART), and it is rising due to the implementation of a publicly funded ART program in 2016.

METHODS A survey was conducted in 251 neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) from December 2020 to February 2021.

MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included 70 participants: neonates born to mothers with gestational diabetes (GDM) and neonates born to healthy mothers (non-GDM).

BACKGROUND Intimate partner violence (IPV) against pregnant women can cause several complications for the mother and her baby, which are life-threatening.

The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a six-week time-restricted eating (TRE) intervention in reducing body weight, fat loss, and visceral fat in overweight, older adult men and women (age range = 65-74 years).

Pregnancy in patients with Eisenmenger syndrome (ES) is associated with high maternal mortality rates of 30%‒50%, or even up to 65% in the case of a cesarean section (Yuan, 2016).

OBJECTIVE To better understand placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) by correlating postoperative ultrasonographic findings of the explanted uteroplacental interface with intraoperative findings and gross pathology.

12-month and lifetime DSM-IV outcomes were any anxiety disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder (PD), social anxiety disorder (SAD), and agoraphobia (AG).

Targeting these sub-groups with pro- maternal and child health (MCH) interventions would help Sierra Leone achieve Goal 3 of the SDGs.
