“…Several maternal factors may increase the likelihood of preterm birth including smoking during pregnancy (Simpson, 1957; Schwartz et al, 1972; Berkowitz and Papiernik, 1993; Kaminski, 1997; Shah and Bracken, 2000; Bada et al, 2005; Kyrklund-Blomberg et al, 2005; Ng and Zelikoff, 2007; McCowan et al, 2009; Thiriez et al, 2009), age greater than 35 years (Cnattingius et al, 1992; Fraser et al, 1995; Gilbert et al, 1999; Ananth et al, 2001; Jacobsson et al, 2004), metabolic syndrome (Rey and Couturier, 1994; Catov et al, 2007a,b, 2008, 2010; Edison et al, 2007; Gilbert et al, 2007; Salihu et al, 2008; Chatzi et al, 2009; Ehrenberg et al, 2009; Johnson et al, 2009b), poor nutritional status (Cogswell et al, 2003; Siega-Riz et al, 2006; Bodnar et al, 2010; Czeizel et al, 2010) and mental health (Blondel et al, 1990; Oakley et al, 1990; Bryce et al, 1991; Hedegaard et al, 1996). Several of these factors can also modulate the level of maternal inflammation during pregnancy.…”

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is the collective term for neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by qualitative impairments in social interaction, communication, and a restricted range of activities and interests. Many countries, including Australia, have reported a dramatic increase in the number of diagnoses over the past three decades, with current prevalence of ASD at 1 in every 110 individuals (~1%). The potential role for an immune-mediated mechanism in ASD has been implicated by several studies, and some evidence suggests a potential link between prenatal infection-driven inflammation and subsequent development of ASD. Furthermore, a modest number of contemporary studies have reported a markedly increased prevalence of ASD in children born preterm, who are at highest risk of exposure to perinatal inflammation. However, the mechanisms that underpin the susceptibility to infection-driven inflammation during pregnancy and risk of preterm birth, and how these intersect with the subsequent development of ASD in the offspring, is not understood. This review aims to summarize and discuss the potential mechanisms and evidence for the role of prenatal infection on the central nervous system, and how it may increase the susceptibility for ASD pathogenesis in children born preterm.

“…There is considerable evidence supporting the hypothesis that offspring of mothers who smoke during their pregnancies have impaired fetal growth, pre-term birth and lower birth weight infants (Conter et al, 1995; D'Onofrio et al, 2003; Knopik et al, 2005; Bada et al, 2005; Salihu et al, 2005; Kyrklund-Blomberg et al, 2005; Stroud et al, 2009; McCowan et al, 2009; Thiriez et al, 2009), which, in turn, are correlated with a host of neuropsychological developmental delays. Of these, the association between MSDP and low birth weight appears to account for many of the associated outcomes, replicating consistently in prospective and retrospective studies.…”

Objective: To evaluate the possible association between maternal smoking during pregnancy (MSDP) and offspring outcomes of birth weight, pre-term birth, remediation, low scholastic achievement, regular smoking, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and conduct problems (CD) while controlling for similar behaviors in parents. Methods: Using telephone interviews, data were collected, in 2001 and 2004, as a part of two U.S. offspring-of-twins projects. Fathers, who were twins participating in the Vietnam Era Twin Registry, their female spouse and their offspring were interviewed – information on 1342 unique pregnancies in mothers with a history of regular smoking was utilized for these analyses. The association between MSDP and birth weight, pre-term birth, remediation, low scholastic achievement, regular smoking, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and conduct disorder while controlling for similar behaviors in parents, was examined using regression. Results: MSDP was associated with decreased birth weight, low scholastic achievement, regular smoking and ADHD. However, the association between MSDP and offspring ADHD was explained by maternal ADHD. MSDP was also associated with earlier age of offspring initiation of smoking and onset of regular smoking. Conclusions: MSDP may influence certain offspring outcomes via mechanisms that are independent from genetic risk attributable to comorbid conditions. Assisting expecting mothers with their smoking cessation efforts will likely provide widespread health benefits to both mother and offspring.

“…The increased risk for SIDS associated with maternal smoking has been attributed to various mechanisms, including impairment of autonomic functions (21, 22). Infants from smoking mothers have reduced HRV and lower frequency power normalized to the total spectral power (LF/TP) (23). Larger infant HR decreases during hyperoxia and smaller HR rises during hypoxia are correlated with the increasing number of cigarettes smoked by the mother (24).…”

Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is the unexplained death, usually during sleep, of a baby younger than 1-year-old. Even though researchers have discovered some factors that may put babies at extra risk, SIDS remains unpredictable up until now. One hypothesis is that impaired cardiovascular control may play a role in the underlying mechanism of SIDS. A reduction of heart rate variability (HRV) and progressive decrease in heart rate (HR) have been observed in infants who have later succumbed to SIDS. Many clues indicated the heart could be the final weakness in SIDS. Therefore, continuous monitoring of the dynamic changes within the heart may provide a possible preventive strategy of SIDS. Camera-based photoplethysmography was recently demonstrated as a contactless method to determine HR and HRV. This perspective presents a hypothesis that a camera-based, non-contact, vital-sign monitoring technology, which can indicate abnormal changes or a sudden loss of vital signs in a timely manner, may enable a crucial and low-cost means for the early prevention of SIDS in newborn infants.
