Author Interviews, Genetic Research, OBGYNE / 25.04.2025

MedicalResearch.com Interview with: Prof. Hermona Soreq Professor of Molecular Neuroscience The Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Brain Sciences Department of Biological Chemistry The Alexander Silberman Institute of Life Sciences The Hebrew University of Jerusalem The Edmond J. Safra Campus, Givat Ram Jerusalem Israel and Shani Vaknine, Ph.D. candidate Brain and Behavioral Sciences The Hebrew University     MedicalResearch.com: What is the background for this study? Response: We’ve long known that maternal stress during pregnancy can affect her baby’s development, but the molecular mechanisms behind this remained unclear. In our study, we explored how psychosocial stress experienced by the mother in late pregnancy influences tiny molecular fragments in the newborn’s blood. These fragments, called transfer RNA fragments or tRFs, were considered for many years to be disposable, but have recently been shown to have important biological functions. (more…)
Author Interviews, Cognitive Issues, JAMA, OBGYNE, Pediatrics / 15.04.2025

MedicalResearch.com Interview with: Samson Nivins PhD Post-doc | Neonatology Karolinska Institutet Developmental Neuroscientist Liggins Institute   Ulrika Ådén PhD Professor of Neonatology Department of Women's and Children's Health Karolinska     MedicalResearch.com: What is the background for this study? Response: Children born preterm are at higher risk of cognitive impairment during childhood and later in life. However, an important unresolved question is whether these impairments primarily reflect genetic susceptibility or are driven by the biological consequences of being born too early. Cognitive development is known to have a strong heritable component (~70 %), and previous studies have attempted to disentangle genetic and environmental contributions, for example through sibling comparison designs. Although informative, such approaches have inherent limitations. In this study, we aimed to investigate long-term cognitive outcomes across a range of gestational age groups including very preterm, moderately preterm, late preterm, and early term, compared to children born full term. Importantly, we accounted for genetic influences as well as a range of potential confounding factors, including prenatal risks and child-specific factors. This approach provides a more nuanced understanding of the extent to which cognitive outcomes associated with preterm birth reflect biological versus inherited risk. (more…)

MedicalResearch.com Interview with: Sam (Seyedmehdi) Payabvash, MD Associate Professor of Radiology Columbia University Medical Center MedicalResearch.com: What is the background for this study? Response: Prenatal marijuana use is on the rise, largely due to increasing legalization and shifting public perception of its safety during pregnancy. Although prior studies have linked prenatal marijuana exposure to adverse neonatal and behavioral outcomes, the long-term neurodevelopmental effects, especially as assessed through advanced neuroimaging techniques, remain underexplored. (more…)
Addiction, OBGYNE, Sexual Health / 04.04.2025

Editor's note:  Please discuss any pelvic floor or gynecologic issues with your health care provider first before utilizing self remedies. Living with pelvic pain can be downright miserable. Many patients can't even sit through their kid's recital or enjoy a simple walk without wincing in pain. It's tough. The silence around pelvic floor problems doesn't help either - too many people suffer quietly, not knowing where to turn. At Urology Health Store, staff see folks struggling with this every day, which is why they're big fans of the Intimate Rose Pelvic Wand. It's not some fancy invention from a corporate think-tank - a real-world pelvic physio created it after years of hands-on experience. With specialized pelvic therapy still hard to find in many parts of Canada, tools like this aren't just convenient – sometimes they're the only practical option. (more…)
Legal-Malpractice, OBGYNE / 21.03.2025

In England and Wales, women have the right to decide how they give birth. While there is no absolute legal entitlement to a caesarean section on demand, healthcare professionals must discuss all available options, including both vaginal birth and caesarean sections. This includes providing a clear outline of the risks and benefits associated with each method. A decision can then be made once the individual has been fully informed and is able to give their consent. This emphasis on informed decision-making ensures that women have autonomy over their birthing experience. Healthcare providers are expected to respect these choices, even when they differ from their own professional opinions, so long as the woman has received comprehensive information and appropriate support. If a request for a specific birth method is declined, the individual should be referred to another healthcare professional who is willing to consider their preference. (more…)
Fertility, OBGYNE / 27.02.2025

Starting a family is one of the most significant decisions a couple can make. But before you take that step, it's important to ensure that both you and your partner are in the best possible health. Many couples assume that once they decide to have a baby, it will happen quickly. However, fertility and pregnancy are deeply connected to lifestyle choices, environmental factors, and overall well-being. Rushing into conception without preparing your body and mind can lead to unnecessary stress and potential health challenges. This guide will walk you through key steps to boost fertility, eliminate harmful habits, and enhance your well-being—so when the time comes, you’ll be ready to embrace parenthood with confidence. Switch to Safe and Non-Toxic Products Many couples don’t realize that everyday household products could be interfering with their ability to conceive. Chemicals found in cleaning supplies, skincare products, and even plastics contain endocrine disruptors that affect hormone balance and fertility. These harmful substances can be inhaled, absorbed through the skin, or ingested through food stored in plastic containers. To minimize exposure, switching to organic and environmentally friendly alternatives is a smart move. Choosing products from reputable manufacturers ensures safety and effectiveness. Melaleuca: The Wellness Company, founded and led by Frank VanderSloot, offers a wide range of non-toxic, eco-friendly household and personal care products designed to support a healthier lifestyle. Their commitment to quality and wellness has been recognized through numerous awards. Couples looking to research their credibility can visit the Melaleuca Awards page to explore their achievements and reputation in the industry.

Legal-Malpractice, OBGYNE / 19.02.2025

Sponsored Post Birth control has revolutionized reproductive health, giving individuals more control over family planning and overall well-being. However, while hormonal contraceptives like Depo-Provera offer convenience, they also come with significant, often overlooked risks. Many users experience long-term side effects that impact their physical and mental health, sometimes leading to permanent damage. When these risks are not properly disclosed or when individuals suffer severe complications, legal action may be an option.

The Long-Term Side Effects of Birth Control

Birth control methods, particularly hormonal options like the pill, intrauterine devices (IUDs), and injectable contraceptives such as Depo-Provera, can cause a range of side effects. While many women tolerate these medications well, others experience severe and long-lasting health issues, including:

Bone Density Loss

One of the most concerning risks associated with Depo-Provera is its impact on bone mineral density. Studies have shown that prolonged use can lead to significant bone thinning, increasing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures later in life. This effect can persist even after discontinuing the injection, making it a major concern for long-term users.

Mental Health Effects

Many women report experiencing mood swings, anxiety, and depression while using hormonal birth control. Research suggests that certain contraceptives may increase the risk of developing clinical depression, yet patients are not always adequately warned about these potential effects. (more…)

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of permanent movement disorders that directly impact muscle tone and posture. The primary cause of these disorders is brain damage before, during, or shortly after birth. While the condition itself presents a complex set of challenges, understanding the intricacies involved in diagnosis and treatment can help make things better for individuals with CP and their families.

A Major Issue Related to the Treatment of Cerebral Palsy

While you must educate yourself about diagnosis and treatment options, you must acknowledge a troubling aspect surrounding CP first: the potential for medical negligence. A large number of cerebral palsy cases are unfortunately linked to errors and omissions in medical care during labor, pregnancy, or delivery. These errors may include delayed or inappropriate C-sections, failure to monitor fetal distress, negligence in managing neonatal complications, and misuse of vacuum extractors or forceps.   (more…)

Legal-Malpractice, OBGYNE / 27.01.2025

Birth injuries can have long-lasting consequences for both the child and their family. While not every complication during childbirth is due to negligence, some injuries could have been prevented with proper medical care. In such cases, seeking legal assistance becomes crucial. If you're facing such a situation, consulting an Indianapolis birth injury lawyer can help you understand your rights and take appropriate legal action.

Understanding Birth Injuries

Birth injuries refer to physical harm caused to a newborn during labor or delivery. These injuries may result from natural complications or medical negligence. Common examples include cerebral palsy, brachial plexus injuries, and brain damage due to oxygen deprivation. While some birth injuries are unavoidable, others are preventable and occur due to errors made by medical professionals during delivery. In many cases, parents might not immediately notice signs of a birth injury. Some symptoms, like developmental delays, feeding difficulties, or seizures, may appear weeks or even months later. Early legal intervention ensures critical evidence is preserved, increasing the chances of a successful legal claim. (more…)

Methods that include pills like Misoprostol and Mifepristone are considered the safest for patients, with fewer side effects than surgeries. These medications are safe and helpful when used under strict medical supervision. Yet, their purpose, interactions with medical conditions and other drugs, and possible risks shouldn't remain unknown. If you want to know where to get the abortion pill, it simply makes sense to opt for licensed healthcare providers or certified women’s clinics. Don't even think about getting them over the counter or without expert medical advice, as that might cause unwanted health issues like low blood pressure or severe infections.   This article gives general knowledge of abortion pills by explaining their mechanisms, associated risks, and why consulting medical experts means the world.

Author Interviews, OBGYNE / 04.12.2024

MedicalResearch.com Interview with: John W. AyersJohn W. Ayers, PhD, MA Altman Clinical Translational Research Institute University of California San Diego, La Jolla MedicalResearch.com: What is the background for this study? Response: Crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) are frequently at the center of news and policy debates, yet little data exists about where they operate or what they actually do. To address this gap, we developed ChoiceWatch.org, a tool that systematically collected and analyzed over 470,000 webpages from CPC websites. In our study published in JAMA Internal Medicine, we used ChoiceWatch.org, to answer fundamental questions, such as how many crisis pregnancy centers operate in the U.S., where they are located, and what services they advertise.

OBGYNE, Supplements / 22.11.2024

Editor's note:  Most supplements, including  lactoferrin, are not FDA approved or tested and therefore should be used only under the supervision of your health care provider. Pregnancy is an incredible journey, but it also brings its share of challenges, including keeping your immune system strong. Your immune system works overtime to protect both you and your growing baby, which makes it even more important to give it the support it needs. By adopting healthy habits and incorporating the right nutrients into your diet, you can boost your immune health and reduce the risks of common infections or illnesses during pregnancy. Here are 10 practical tips to strengthen your immune system while ensuring the safety and well-being of your little one.

1. Add Lactoferrin to Your Routine

A lactoferrin supplement  is a natural protein found in milk and other fluids that boosts immunity by supporting healthy gut bacteria and reducing inflammation. It also helps your body absorb iron more effectively, which is crucial during pregnancy. Before taking any supplements be sure to consult your healthcare provider. Lactoferrin is a dairy product and should not be taken in the case of suspected or diagnosed allergy to cow's milk proteins. (more…)
Cannabis, OBGYNE, Pediatrics / 30.10.2024

MedicalResearch.com Interview with: Sarah Keim, PhD Associate Professor, Epidemiology College of Public Health The Ohio State University MedicalResearch.com: What is the background for this study? Response: Marijuana is the illicit substance most commonly used during pregnancy, and use is increasing. Some evidence suggests that marijuana is associated with deficits in executive function and increased delinquent behavior in school-age children and adolescents, with potential downstream impacts on achievement and social functioning. However, this evidence comes largely from only 2 studies several decades old. Today cannabis is more than 10 times more potent than it was several decades ago. (more…)

Legal-Malpractice, OBGYNE, Pediatrics / 19.10.2024

Cerebral Palsy is a neurological disorder that affects movement, posture, and coordination. It is caused by damage to the brain during or shortly after birth and can lead to lifelong disabilities. While there are many known causes of cerebral palsy, medical negligence during childbirth is one of them. When a child is born with cerebral palsy due to medical negligence, it can have devastating effects on both the child and their family. In such cases, seeking help from lawyers for a child's birth injury may be necessary in order to receive justice and compensation for the harm caused. Medical negligence refers to any act or failure to act by a healthcare professional that falls below the accepted standard of care, resulting in harm to the patient. In the case of cerebral palsy, several forms of medical negligence can occur during childbirth and lead to this condition. This is what is discussed in this article. (more…)
OBGYNE, Pediatrics / 19.10.2024

When a new baby is brought into the world, many parents have one of the happiest moments of their lives. However, for some parents, it is not a happy moment, as some babies are born with injuries that could alter their lives completely. Birth injuries are any physical wounds sustained during labor or delivery. These injuries can range in severity from minor cuts and bruises to more severe conditions, including brain damage or cerebral palsy. Birth injury is terrible enough for a child, but parents' lives are also affected, and this is something that should not be disregarded.

Fertility, OBGYNE / 11.10.2024

Women are looking to freeze their eggs, which is an option that is gaining popularity and provides fertility preservation for a level of control over family planning. Medical advances have made the procedure more reliable, and it allows women to put off having children without diminishing their chances of being able to conceive using their eggs later on. In this post, let’s get into why egg freezing is a powerful and how it can potentially give women more options when it comes to the capacity of reproduction. Better Chances of Getting Pregnant The quality and number of eggs decline with age, which makes getting pregnant more challenging. Freezing eggs can up their odds, as long as they do it at a younger age. Because generally speaking, lower-quality eggs do not respond as well to fertility treatments. (more…)
OBGYNE, Sleep Disorders / 30.09.2024

sleep-during-pregnancy.jpg   Sleep deprivation is something all new parents go through, but for many women, it starts before the baby is born. As your belly is growing, the baby is kicking, and your hormone levels are fluctuating, you are very likely to experience insomnia, poor sleep quality, or nighttime awakenings. Even though there is no magic solution that can fix your problems entirely, there are some things you can do to get some good night's sleep during pregnancy:

Create a Soothing Bedtime Routine

Try to come up with a bedtime ritual that you can perform every night to signal your brain and your body that it is time to sleep. First, stop using screens because modern devices produce blue light that impedes your body’s production of melatonin. So instead of scrolling through your phone, consider reading a book before bedtime. Additionally, introduce some habits that can support and improve your mental health during pregnancy. For example, you can take a soothing, warm bath, sip on a cup of warm milk or a caffeine-free tea, or listen to a guided meditation. Also, you can introduce aromatherapy to your bedroom. Using a pillow spray or a diffuser can make you feel more relaxed in minutes. Finally, stick with a consistent routine that provides you with at least eight hours of sleep every night. (more…)
OBGYNE / 25.09.2024

The journey from conception to bringing a new life into the world is filled with anticipation, preparation, and a series of important healthcare services. Maternity services are designed to provide comprehensive care for women throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. These services ensure that both mother and baby have the best possible outcomes with the support of specialized healthcare professionals. But navigating the world of maternity care can often be overwhelming for expectant parents. In this article, we will explore the various aspects of maternity services, helping soon-to-be parents to make informed decisions for a healthy pregnancy and delivery.

Integrating Pediatric Care Into Your Postpartum Plan

pregnancy-maternal-care.png A critical but sometimes overlooked aspect of postpartum care is establishing a pediatric care plan for the newborn. Early well-child visits are essential for monitoring growth, administering vaccinations, and addressing any health concerns that may arise. These appointments also guide parents on milestones and the general development of their child. One innovative example of integrative maternity services is the model provided by modern maternity care centers. Such centers focus on a seamless transition from pregnancy to pediatric care, ensuring continuity and a holistic approach to both mother and baby's health. They work under the philosophy that a well-cared-for mother raises a healthy and happy child. (more…)
Anemia, Author Interviews, JAMA, OBGYNE / 23.08.2024

Esa M. Davis, M.D., M.P.H , F.A.A.F.P Professor of Medicine and Family and Community Medicine Associate Vice President of Community Health and Senior Associate Dean of pPopulation Health and Community Medicine University of Maryland School of Medicine Dr. Davis joined the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force in January 2021     MedicalResearch.com: What is the background for this study? What are the main findings? Response: Iron is important to overall health, and people need more iron when they are pregnant. This can make pregnant people at increased risk for iron deficiency, which can progress to anemia and cause complications for both moms and their babies. After reviewing the latest available research, the Task Force found that there is not enough evidence on whether pregnant people who do not have signs or symptoms of iron deficiency or anemia should be screened—or take iron supplements—to improve their health or the health of their baby.   (more…)
Mental Health Research, OBGYNE / 29.07.2024

It’s no secret pregnancy causes many changes in a woman’s body - physically and emotionally. One of the most common changes occurs in the brain, a phenomenon known as the pregnancy brain.  Pregnancy Brain ExplainedThe pregnancy brain is often referred to as momnesia or baby brain. This condition underlies the cognitive struggles and difficulty associated with concentrating that some women experience during pregnancy and sometimes after giving birth.  Generally, pregnancy is characterized by an increase in steroid hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol. These hormones will be discussed in detail in the following sections. Steroid hormones are responsible for handling metabolism, inflammation, immune functions, salt and water balance, the development of sexual characteristics, and the ability to withstand injury and illness during pregnancy.   The genesis of pregnancy brain stems at least partially from the influx of these steroid hormones. This, among other factors, will be mentioned in this article. (more…)

MedicalResearch.com Interview with: Nicole Lamparello, M.D Interventional Radiologist Assistant Professor of Radiology Weill Cornell Medicine Assistant Attending Radiologist NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medicine MedicalResearch.com: What is the background for this study? Would you briefly describe the condition of Uterine Fibroids? Response: A uterine fibroid (leiomyoma) is a type of tumor that grows in the uterus..  Most fibroids are benign growths that do not spread to other regions of the body.  However, fibroids can cause a variety of symptoms that severely impact a woman’s quality of life, including pelvic pressure or pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, abdominal bloating, urinary urgency/retention and infertility. Often, women with uterine fibroids are presented with hysterectomy as a treatment option, and are not informed about less-invasive options, such as Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE), a non-surgical procedure performed by an interventional radiologist.

AHA Journals, Author Interviews, Blood Pressure - Hypertension, OBGYNE / 29.05.2024

MedicalResearch.com Interview with: Emmanuel Bujold, Reproduction Mother and Child Health Unit CHU De Québec-Université Laval Research Center Université Laval Québec, QC Canada     MedicalResearch.com: What is the background for this study? Would you briefly describe what is meant by preeclampsia? Response: Preeclampsia is a complication of the second half of pregnancy, manifesting as high blood pressure and renal dysfunction. The only current treatment is to deliver the baby before it becomes complicated by damage to maternal organs or fetal distress. A few years ago, we demonstrated that aspirin started in the 1st trimester can prevent the majority of preeclampsias in pregnant women at risk. It has therefore become urgent to identify pregnant women at risk as early as the 1st trimester. (more…)
