Importance Although antenatal opioid exposure is associated with impaired brain growth, previous studies are limited by small sample sizes and lack of controls. As a result, the impacts on developing remain poorly understood. Objective To compare global, regional, tissue-specific volumes in opioid-exposed newborns vs unexposed Design, Setting, Participants In OBOE (Outcomes Babies Opioid Exposure) study, term controls were recruited at 4 sites US from August 2020 to December 2023. Data analysis was performed 2024. Main Outcomes Measures The primary outcome both groups, assessed via unsedated 3-dimensional (3-D) volumetric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) prior 8 weeks age. T2-weighted MRI data acquired Siemens Philips 3T scanners harmonized across sites. Brains segmented using DrawEM- 3D U-Net–based pipelines manual corrections.

ABSTRACT Background and Purpose Anxiety during pregnancy is common, exposure to heightened anxiety may influence children's brain development functioning. However, it unclear if low levels of in utero would also impact the developing brain. The current prospective longitudinal study included 40 healthy pregnant women without complications or previous diagnosis disorders. Methods Pregnant women's symptoms were measured at 12, 24, 36 weeks gestation. Their healthy, full‐term offspring underwent a MRI scan sedation, including resting‐state functional MRI, 2 postnatal age. associations between neonatal cortical connectivity originating from amygdala maternal prenatal symptom scores examined using correlational analyses. Results Significant correlations identified after controlling for child sex, postmenstrual age mother's depression scores. Higher was related alterations offspring's other regions involved fear learning. Specifically, higher first trimester associated with lower fusiform gyrus thalamus. third gyrus. Conclusions findings this indicate that functioning, particularly are important threat detection.

Pregnancy is a sensitive period in woman’s life when psychological distress can have negative consequences for the mother and fetus. Prolonged intensified symptoms of anxiety depression caused by COVID-19 pandemic increase risk maternal fetal health complications. The Pandemic-Related Stress Scale (PREPS) thoroughly designed tool that helps determine analyze stress among pregnant women during pandemics three domains: Preparedness childbirth, (2) Infection, (3) Positive Appraisal. A cross-sectional study included 189 attending community center, “Dr Simo Milošević,” Belgrade, Serbia, from January to February 2022. Pregnant anonymously completed questionnaire as part study. mean scores those domains are follows: (2.4 ± 0.9), Infection (2.8 1.1), Appraisal (3.7 0.9). Internal consistency PREPS PREPS-Total (α = 0.867). An explanatory factor analysis showed Serbian version has good psychometric properties. Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Measure Sampling Adequacy (KMO) was found be 0.860, indicating high degree sampling adequacy. Additionally, Bartlett’s Test Sphericity yielded statistically significant result (χ 2 1564.206, df 105, p < 0.001). CFA very fit indices sample, confirming structure original English version. RMSEA value 0.056 (0.036–0.075) values TLI (0.961) CFI (0.974) were above cut-off ≥0.95, an excellent fit. All standardized loadings ranged 0.50 0.85. PREPS-SRB serves valuable healthcare professionals, allowing them identify experiencing related pandemic.
