Teenage pregnancy is not a public health problem
Teenage pregnancy is not a public health problem, but is really a reflection of what is considered to be socially, culturally, and economically acceptable in the United Kingdom, argue researchers in this week's BMJ. Women having babies in their 30s and 40s are not labelled a public health problem, and neither are women who have problems... view more... (2001-12-12)
Complications early in pregnancy or in previous pregnancies adversely affect existing or subsequent pregnancies
Complications in early pregnancy or in previous pregnancies can predict the likelihood of further problems in current or subsequent pregnancies, according to research carried out by an international group of experts. view more (2009-06-29)
Healthier preemies and parents, thanks to a new early intervention program
A program designed to help parents care for their premature infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) can lead to healthier babies and parents, and save more than $2 billion in U.S. healthcare costs annually. view more (2006-11-02)
Is legalising euthanasia premature?
Legalising euthanasia is premature when we still do not know why patients want it and whether better end of life care would change their views, argue researchers in this week's BMJ. Euthanasia debates have focused on suffering, respect for patient autonomy, and dignified death, but little evidence is available from patients who desire euthanasia.... view more... (2003-07-23)
Gene-chip studies provide new leads in treating lung disease of premature newborns
Some 20 to 40 percent of extremely premature infants suffer abnormal lung development leading to bronchopulmonary dysplasia, a chronic lung disease that can cause long-term breathing problems. view more (2007-10-04)
Supplementing babies' formula with DHA boosts cognitive development
Research has shown that children who were breast fed as infants have superior cognitive skills compared to those fed infant formula, and it's thought that this is due to an essential fatty acid in breast milk called docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). view more (2009-09-15)
Pomegranate juice for moms may help babies resist brain injury
Expectant mothers at risk of premature birth may want to consider drinking pomegranate juice to help their babies resist brain injuries from low oxygen and reduced blood flow, a new mouse study from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis suggests. view more (2005-06-28)
Preconception care crucial to improving maternal and infant health
Continued improvements in the infant and maternal mortality rates will depend on interventions before a woman becomes pregnant, according to officials from the March of Dimes, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other experts. view more (2006-09-20)
Coffee: a cause of neonatal seizures?
Epidemiological observations raised the possibility that coffee was deleterious for newborn babies. For the last ten years the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has therefore recommended that pregnant women limit their consumption of coffee. view more (1999-06-16)
Teenagers not at higher risk during first birth, but a second may lead to complications
Teenagers giving birth for the first time are not at increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, those having second births run an almost threefold risk of premature delivery and stillbirth, concludes a study in this week's BMJ. Researchers at Glasgow University identified over 110,000 non-smoking women, aged between 15 and 29 years,... view more... (2001-08-29)
Tel Aviv University gives preemies a fighting chance
When a child is born premature - and more than one in ten infants in the U.S. is - its future is already compromised. One of the common problems associated with premature births is "brittle bones," or osteopenia of prematurity (OOP). It can cause bone fractures and rickets in the infant, and osteoporosis later in life. view more (2007-12-05)
Progesterone treatment does not prevent preterm birth in twin pregnancy
Progesterone therapy does not reduce the chances of preterm birth in women pregnant with twins, reported researchers in a network sponsored by the National Institutes of Health. view more (2007-08-02)
Smaller babies more prone to depression, anxiety later on
Turns out there might be some truth to the popular wisdom that plump babies are happy babies. A landmark public health study has found that people who had a low birth weight are more likely to experience depression and anxiety later in life. view more (2007-12-05)
Babies recognise individual monkey faces
Researchers at the University of Sheffield have shown that babies can be taught to distinguish between different monkey faces in the same way that they distinguish individual human faces. The team had previously demonstrated that babies begin life with a general ability to distinguish faces, regardless of species, but that this ability becomes... view more... (2005-04-19)
Link between assisted reproduction techniques and genetic disruption
Evidence that assisted reproduction techniques may carry a risk of genetic 'imprinting disorders' in the resulting babies, emerges in a study published in the Journal of Medical Genetics. To assess the likely risk of genetic disruption, geneticists from the University of Birmingham and the West Midlands Genetics Service assessed the birth... view more... (2003-01-14)
Commonly used drug offers promise for premature babies
Scientists have found evidence that the cox-2 inhibitor celecoxib, a common pain reliever used to treat arthritis, may offer a new way to reduce the risk of the most common cause of brain damage in babies born prematurely. view more (2007-05-18)
Birth of musical protégés? How music heard in the womb is remembered by the child
A study carried out at the University of Leicester, to be shown on BBC's Child Of Our Time today (Wednesday July 11, BBC1, 9pm) reveals for the first time that babies remember sounds they heard in the womb - and recognise them well into later life. The study, by Dr Alexandra Lamont from the Music Research Group at the University's School of... view more... (2001-07-10)
Smoking during pregnancy can put mums and babies at risk
Pregnant women who suffer from the high risk condition pre-eclampsia - which leads to the death of hundreds of babies every year - are putting the lives of their unborn children at significantly increased risk if they continue to smoke during pregnancy. view more (2008-02-25)
First link of oral bacteria and preterm birth found in human
A 37-year-old-mother, who gave birth to a low-weight preemie at 24 weeks, exhibited the first-found link in a human between bacteria found in the mouth and the amniotic fluid of a woman in preterm labor. view more (2006-04-06)
World-first to predict premature birth
Australian researchers and a pathology company have joined forces to develop a world-first computerised system which may reveal a way to predict premature birth with greater accuracy. view more (2008-09-08)
