Expectant Mothers Miss Specialist Allergy Care: Why It Matters
Why specialist allergy care matters for pregnant women Many expectant mothers experience allergies, asthma, or adverse reactions to medications. When these conditions are not monitored by specialists, they can complicate pregnancy and potentially affect outcomes for both mother and baby. New research presented at major allergy and obstetrics conferences underscores the importance of integrating allergy…

Expectant Mothers Miss Specialist Allergy Care More Than They Realize
Overview: The Gap in Specialist Allergy Care for Expectant Mothers Pregnancy is a time of heightened vigilance for maternal and fetal health. For many expectant mothers, allergies, asthma, or medication reactions can complicate the journey. Yet a significant number do not receive timely consultation with an obstetric or allergist specialist who can tailor care to…

Placental Malperfusion and Fetal Health in Congenital Heart Disease: New Insights from CHOP Study
New Findings Illuminate the Placental-Fetal Connection in Congenital Heart Disease A groundbreaking study from the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) shines a spotlight on how placental malperfusion interacts with genetic and developmental pathways to influence fetal health and developmental trajectories in fetuses affected by congenital heart disease (CHD). The research underscores the placenta not merely…

New Study Links Placental Malperfusion to Fetal Health in Congenital Heart Disease
Overview: Placental Malperfusion and Congenital Heart Disease Researchers at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have unveiled findings that connect placental malperfusion with fetal health and development in pregnancies affected by congenital heart disease (CHD). The study underscores how disruptions in placental blood flow, along with genetic and developmental pathways, can influence fetal growth, organ…

Placental Malperfusion and Congenital Heart Disease: How Fetal Development Hinges on Placental Health
New Insights into Placental Malperfusion and Fetal Outcomes in Congenital Heart Disease Researchers at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have unveiled evidence that placental malperfusion—insufficient or uneven blood flow through the placenta—can significantly influence fetal health and development in fetuses affected by congenital heart disease (CHD). The study emphasizes how genetic and developmental pathways…

Pica in Pregnancy and Children: Causes, Symptoms, and Effective Treatments
Understanding pica in pregnancy and children Pica is a condition where people crave and eat nonfood items such as ice, dirt, laundry starch, or paper. While it can affect anyone, it is most commonly observed in pregnant people and young children. Recognizing pica early can prevent potential health problems and guide effective treatment. Common causes…

COVID During Pregnancy Raises Autism and Speech Delay Risk in Children
New Findings Link COVID Infection in Pregnancy to Developmental Risks A recent United States study found that children born to mothers who had COVID-19 during pregnancy face a higher risk of developmental disorders, including autism and speech delays, by the age of three. The research adds to growing evidence about how maternal health during pregnancy…

First Nomogram-Based Fetal Cardiac Measurements for 14–36 Weeks in North-Eastern Egypt: A Population-Based Study
Introduction: Filling a Gap in Fetal Cardiac Reference Ranges Understanding normal growth patterns of fetal cardiovascular structures is essential for early detection of subtle cardiac abnormalities. This study, conducted in the north-eastern Egyptian population (Qalyubiyya Governorate), provides gestational age–specific reference ranges and nomograms for a comprehensive set of fetal cardiac dimensions from 14+6 to 36+6…

First Trial of Fetal Cardiac Nomograms in Northeastern Egypt: Establishing GA-Specific References (14–36 Weeks)
Overview Researchers conducted the first trial to develop normal reference ranges and nomograms for fetal cardiac measurements in the northeastern Egyptian population (Qalyubiyya Governorate). The study focused on pregnancies between 14+6 and 36+6 weeks of gestation, using two-dimensional echocardiography to assess 23 cardiac dimensions in 900 low-risk singleton pregnancies. The aim was to define growth…

Fetal Cardiac Nomograms in Egyptian Pregnancies: A Northeastern Cairo Study
Introduction: Building a reference for fetal heart measurements Understanding normal fetal cardiac development is essential for early detection of subtle heart abnormalities. A recent cross‑sectional study in the north‑eastern Egyptian population (Qalyubiyya Governorate) fills a crucial gap by establishing gestational‑age (GA) specific reference ranges and nomograms for 23 fetal echocardiographic measurements in low‑risk singleton pregnancies.…
