The influence of interpregnancy interval on infant mortality
Background In Ohio, the infant mortality rate is above the national average and the black infant mortality rate is more than twice the white infant mortality rate. Having a short…
Maternal outcomes associated with early preterm cesarean delivery
Background Data on complications associated with classic cesarean delivery are conflicting. In extremely preterm cesarean delivery (22 0/7-27 6/7 weeks’ gestation), the lower uterine segment is thicker. It is plausible…
Maternal bisphenol A exposure alters rat offspring hepatic and skeletal muscle insulin signaling protein abundance
Background The obesogenic and diabetogenic effects of the environmental toxin bisphenol A during critical windows of development are well recognized. Liver and skeletal muscle play a central role in the…
Modifying the risk of recurrent preterm birth: influence of trimester-specific changes in smoking behaviors
Background Women with at least 1 prior occurrence of premature birth often have demographic and medical risk factors that are not modifiable. However, smoking cessation could be a targeted intervention…
First trimester alcohol exposure alters placental perfusion and fetal oxygen availability affecting fetal growth and development in a non-human primate model
Background Prenatal alcohol exposure leads to impaired fetal growth, brain development, and stillbirth. Placental impairment likely contributes to these adverse outcomes, but the mechanisms and specific vasoactive effects of alcohol…
Racial/ethnic differences in preterm perinatal outcomes
Background Racial disparities in preterm birth and infant death have been well documented. Less is known about racial disparities in neonatal morbidities among infants who are born at <37 weeks…
Extremely low gestational age and very low birthweight for gestational age are risk factors for autism spectrum disorder in a large cohort study of 10-year-old children born at 23-27 weeks’ gestation
Background No prospective cohort study of high-risk children has used rigorous exposure assessment and optimal diagnostic procedures to examine the perinatal antecedents of autism spectrum disorder separately among those with…
Enoxaparin for the prevention of preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction in women with a history: a randomized trial
Background Preeclampsia and small-for-gestational-age pregnancy are major causes of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Women with a previous pregnancy affected by these conditions are at an increased risk of…
Differences in placental telomere length suggest a link between racial disparities in birth outcomes and cellular aging
