Association between gestational age at threatened preterm birth diagnosis and incidence of preterm birth: the Japan Environment and Children’s Study
We evaluated the association between gestational age at threatened preterm birth (TPTB) diagnosis and preterm birth (PTB) incidence using a...

Size at birth predicts later brain volumes
We aimed to investigate whether gestation at birth, birth weight, and head circumference at birth are still associated with brain volume and white...

An analysis of the accuracy of retrospective birth location recall using sibling data
Many surveys ask participants to retrospectively record their location of birth. This paper examines the accuracy of such data in the UK Biobank...

Association of adverse birth outcomes with in vitro fertilization after controlling infertility factors based on a singleton live birth cohort
Infants conceived with in vitro fertilization (IVF) are exposed to underlying infertility and the IVF process. High risks of adverse birth outcomes...

Four-dimensional ultrasound guided embryo transfers improve live birth rates when compared to the clinical touch technique: a randomised controlled trial
Most aspects of in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) have changed dramatically since introduction, but embryo transfer (ET) technique remains largely...

Impact of helminth infections during pregnancy on maternal and newborn Vitamin D and on birth outcomes
Poor birth outcomes in low- and middle income countries are associated with maternal vitamin D deficiency and chronic helminth infections. Here, we...

Development speed of sibling embryo positively reflects live birth rate after fresh day 3 embryo transfer
The ability of sibling embryos to form blastocysts may reflect the developmental potential of the embryos that were transferred into the uterus. The...

Assessment of the tocolytic nifedipine in preclinical primary models of preterm birth
Spontaneous preterm birth is the leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Tocolytics are drugs used in cases of imminent preterm birth to...
