Published Five factors to ensure an infant thrives
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers make the case that five 'Thrive Factors' are a key element of healthy human brain, behavioral and cognitive development.
Published Study eases concern at antipsychotics use in pregnancy
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source The use of antipsychotics during pregnancy isn't linked to childhood neurodevelopmental disorders or learning difficulties, study suggests -- giving assurance to those concerned about continuing their medications during pregnancy.
Published Gut bacteria make neurotransmitters to shape the newborn immune system
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Investigators discovered that unique bacteria colonize the gut shortly after birth and make the neurotransmitter serotonin to educate gut immune cells. This prevents allergic reactions to food and the bacteria themselves during early development.
Published Why some newborns develop severe infections
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A serious immune deficiency in newborns may originate from a system that protects the fetus in utero but lingers too long after birth.
Published Artificial intelligence detects heart defects in newborns
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have developed an algorithm that provides an automatic and reliable method of detecting a certain heart defect in newborns.
Published Curbing coal-burning emissions translates to health gains for children
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Research finds a nearly 40% decline in the annual average concentration of respirable particulate matter (PM2.5) in Krakow, Poland, between 2010 and 2019 following the implementation of clean air policies. Air quality improvements translated to substantial benefits for children's outcomes, including fewer cases of asthma and better birth outcomes.
Published Climate policies to reduce motor vehicle emissions can improve children's health, save money
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A new study finds that policies to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from motor vehicles combined with investments in electric vehicles and public transportation would reduce air pollution and bring large benefits to children's health. They would also save money.
Published Adding folic acid to table salt could prevent life-threatening birth defects
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A team of international researchers has demonstrated, for the first time in a field study, that using folic acid-fortified iodized table salt can prevent multiple severe birth defects.
Published COVID vaccines are safe for pregnant women and babies, study finds
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source The COVID vaccine is safe to administer during pregnancy, researchers report in an important finding on the safety of the vaccine in infants -- despite widespread fear and misinformation.
Published Infant health suffered during baby formula shortage
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A survey by UC Davis researchers shows the U.S. baby formula shortage in 2022 led 81% of parents to switch brands or types, causing health effects for babies.
Published Children surpass a year of HIV remission after treatment pause
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Four children have remained free of detectable HIV for more than one year after their antiretroviral therapy (ART) was paused to see if they could achieve HIV remission, according to new research. The children, who acquired HIV before birth, were enrolled in a clinical trial in which an ART regimen was started within 48 hours of birth and then closely monitored for drug safety and HIV viral suppression. The outcomes reported today follow planned ART interruptions once the children met predefined virological and immunological criteria.
Published Psychosocial stressors linked to higher inflammation in Black pregnant women
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Living in neighborhoods with more white residents and greater lifetime experiences of racial discrimination are linked to increased systemic inflammation during pregnancy among Black women, according to new research.
Published Breastfeeding after COVID-19 booster can give babies antibodies
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A recently published study that shows lactating mothers who get the COVID-19 booster pass along the antibodies to their children via their breast milk -- and potentially protect babies too young to receive the vaccine.
Published Zika vaccine safe, effective when administered during pregnancy
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A vaccine against Zika virus is safe and effective when administered both before and during pregnancy, according to new research.
Published A better way to deliver fetal therapy for serious genetic disorders
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source In a discovery that opens the door to a less invasive way of treating some serious disorders before birth, UC San Francisco scientists have found that delivering medicine through amniotic fluid is as effective as delivering it to the fetal brain via cerebrospinal fluid. The experiment was done in mice with a genetic disorder called Angelman syndrome.
Published A landmark study maps the precise orchestration of prenatal development
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have characterized, in exacting detail, the rapid series of events that transform a single fertilized cell into a living, complex being. The work not only has enabled the team to explore which genes drive the differentiation of hundreds of cell types, but also shows, for the first time, that there are very rapid changes in genetic activity within the hour immediately following birth, underscoring the speed with which newborns must adapt.
Published Uptick in behavioral disorders reported in children following prenatal exposure to anesthesia
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Children prenatally exposed to anesthesia for maternal surgery during pregnancy were significantly more likely than unexposed children to receive a diagnosis of a disruptive or internalizing behavioral disorder including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, behavioral disorders, developmental speech or language disorders and autism, according to a new study.
Published Lockdowns had an impact on gut microbes and allergies in newborns, new research reveals
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Lockdowns imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic had an impact on the gut microbiome development of babies born during these periods according to new research. Our gut microbiome, an ecosystem of microbes that live in our digestive tract, plays an essential role in human health. The study reveals significant differences in the microbiome development of babies born during lockdown periods when compared to pre-pandemic babies.
Published Intervention reduces likelihood of developing postpartum anxiety and depression by more than 70%
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Results from a large clinical trial show that an intervention for anxiety provided to pregnant women living in Pakistan significantly reduced the likelihood of the women developing moderate-to-severe anxiety, depression, or both six weeks after birth.
