women who are pregnant should take special care to avoid contact with agricultural chemicals whenever possible.##
For the study researchers used questionnaires to obtain study participants residential addresses during the preconception and pregnancy periods.
##We mapped where our study participants lived during pregnancy and around the time of birth.
Organophosphates applied over the course of pregnancy were associated with an elevated risk of autism spectrum disorder particularly for chlorpyrifos applications in the second trimester.
Carbamates applied during pregnancy were associated with developmental delay. Exposures to insecticides for those living near agricultural areas may be problematic especially during gestation
##Research from the CHARGE Study has emphasized the importance of maternal nutrition during pregnancy particularly the use of prenatal vitamins to reduce the risk of having a child with autism.

#'Womb milk'nourishes embryo during early months of pregnancy A mother's milk provides the valuable nourishment a baby needs during its first months of life,
Researchers have discovered that during the first months of pregnancy the mother's body secretes nutrients that have been dubbed'womb milk'for the embryo.
and biochemical building blocks it needs to grow during the first 11 weeks of pregnancy. During this time the embryo is too small and delicate for the umbilical cord to be attached
Oxytocin is produced by women during pregnancy birth and in the production of milk for breastfeeding.

The samples were stained using a dye to see where glycogen was present in the tissues from different stages of pregnancy.
'The first few weeks of pregnancy is a critical phase for embryonic development.''Our understanding has been revolutionised over the past decade by the discovery that nutrients are supplied by these glands in the uterus lining during the first trimester the so-called"uterine milk".
Nor could they be implanted to create a pregnancy, or for any other clinical purpose. Movement in the research is halting.
In four villages included in the trial everyone except pregnant women and young children received five doses of ivermectin, at three-week intervals.

but the presentation of the disease during pregnancy is particular troubling and confounding to researchers.
when they are associated pregnant, and complications once infected with the parasite. While an average adult residing within a malaria endemic region possesses some immunity to the parasite, pregnancy causes complications that leave women and fetuses extremely vulnerable.
In particular, the most virulent species of the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum modifies human erythrocytes upon invasion

#Womb milk nourishes human embryo during first weeks of pregnancy Call it the milk of life not breast milk,
For the first 11 weeks of pregnancy, before the mother's nutrient-rich blood supply is plumbed in,
During pregnancy, the lining of the uterus behaves quite differently to normal: the glands start storing large amounts of glucose as glycogen,
placenta and embryonic tissue donated by women who had chosen to terminate their pregnancies. The samples came from all stages of early pregnancy
so the researchers were able to analyse how they changed over time. By using a staining dye,
at the beginning of a pregnancy, the placenta is much larger than the growing embryo, so the pressure of arterial blood would likely dislodge the embryo from the wall of the uterus.
"The first few weeks of pregnancy is a critical phase for embryonic development, "says Graham Burton of the University of Cambridge,
by UK law, cannot be implanted for a successful pregnancy. However, the information gathered by this basic research could have broad clinical implications,
While exploring why pregnant women are particularly susceptible to malaria, they found that the mosquito-borne parasite that causes malaria also produces a protein that binds to a particular type of sugar molecule in the placenta.

#SAP and Heidelberg University Hospital Personalize Pregnancy Care This Sunday is International Women's Day,
In partnership with SAP and abcmedien, the University Hospital developed an app to provide pregnant women all information needed along their pregnancy and beyond.
However, unlike the typical pregnancy app, which only pushes consumer product information, the healthcare experts at Heidelberg University Hospital created this app to serve as a dual resource for both mothers and physicians alike.
Because pregnancy doesn't require frequent doctors'appointments, it's difficult to gather feedback from pregnant moms.
To maintain a close relationship with mothers during pregnancy the app asks users discrete and subtle psychological questions purposed to gather information to identify
and prevent health issues like depression. During pregnancy, hormones change and can affect brain chemicals, inducing antepartum depression and/or anxiety.
According to the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, roughly 14-23 percent of women will struggle with symptoms of depression at some point during their pregnancy.
Luckily, antepartum depression is 100 percent treatable, but in many cases, the pregnant mother assumes that the mood changes are nothing more than normal hormonal imbalances (similar to PMS).
At Heidelberg University Hospital, doctors can analyze the answers obtained through the app, and proactively identify mothers at risk for such illness
because research suggests that children of women who experienced depression during pregnancy have a higher risk of becoming depressed as adults (JAMA Psychiatry).
By engaging with pregnant women and monitoring their health via this mobile application, Heidelberg University Hospital can reduce immediate and long-term risks for mother and for baby.
With the biofilm signature in hand, the two scientists then invented a technology that reacts to the presence of NTHI proteins by changing color, much like a rapid strep or pregnancy test.
#Women who eat fried food regularly before conceiving at increased risk of developing gestational diabetes during pregnancy Women who eat fried food regularly before conceiving are increased at risk of developing gestational diabetes during pregnancy,
Gestational diabetes (GDM) is a complication that can arise during pregnancy, and is characterised by abnormally high blood glucose during the pregnancy (especially in the final 3 months).
It can lead to increased birthweight of the child, as well jaundice and other complications. When left untreated, it can cause complications or stillbirth.
New research published in Diabetologia (the journal of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes) shows that women who eat fried food regularly before conceiving are increased at risk of developing gestational diabetes during pregnancy.

#Ancient'genomic parasites'spurred evolution of pregnancy in mammals An international team of scientists has identified large-scale genetic changes that marked the evolution of pregnancy in mammals.
"Most remarkably, we found the genetic changes that likely underlie the evolution of pregnancy are linked to domesticated transposable elements that invaded the genome in early mammals.
So I guess we owe the evolution of pregnancy to what are effectively genomic parasites."
"To study genetic changes during the evolution of pregnancy in mammals, Lynch and his colleagues used high-throughput sequencing to catalog genes expressed in the uterus of several types of living animals--placental mammals (a human, monkey, mouse, dog, cow, pig, horse and armadillo
As prolonged pregnancy evolved in placental mammals, hundreds of genes began to be expressed that greatly strengthened
which are essential for pregnancy, evolved to be expressed in the uterus in early mammals, "Lynch said."
But during the evolution of pregnancy, these genes were recruited to be expressed in the uterus for new purposes.
allowing old genes to be expressed in a new location, the uterus, during pregnancy. Mammals very likely have a progesterone-responsive uterus because of these transposons."
