“…Also, unlike rodent studies which for the past several decades did not include reproductive opportunities, fly studies often examine the impact of the intervention on reproduction ( Bass et al, 2007 ; Grandison et al, 2009 ; Juricic et al, 2020 ). We consider this a substantial gap in understanding the translatability of laboratory rodent studies, as pregnancy and childbirth have significant effects on the subsequent physiology and health of women ( La Vecchia et al, 1993 ; Vogel et al, 2024 ). Also, in flies, mated females eat more and are thus shorter-lived than virgin females ( Carvalho et al, 2006 ).…”

Various so-called dietary restriction paradigms have shown promise for extending health and life. All such paradigms rely on ad libitum (hereafter ad lib) feeding, something virtually never employed in animals whose long-term health we value, either as a control or, except for food restriction itself, for both control and treatment arms of the experiment. Even though the mechanism(s) remain only vaguely understood, compared to ad lib-fed animals a host of dietary manipulations, including calorie restriction, low protein, methionine, branched-chain amino acids, and even low isoleucine have demonstrable health benefits in laboratory species in a standard laboratory environment. The remaining challenge is to determine whether these health benefits remain in more realistic environments and how they interact with other health enhancing treatments such as exercise or emerging geroprotective drugs. Here we review the current state of the field of amino acid restriction on longevity of animal models and evaluate its translational potential.

“…Additionally, pregnancy and childbirth can contribute to or exacerbate conditions such as depression, urinary and anal incontinence, and sexual dysfunction, leading to medium-and longterm complications that are often overlooked in maternal healthcare. This underscores the necessity for a more comprehensive approach to postpartum care, extending beyond the traditional six-week period [64]. In essence, the long-term health implications for mothers and children are influenced by many factors, including maternal physical and mental well-being during and after pregnancy, the timing of childbearing, parity, and chronic conditions.…”

Cholestasis of pregnancy (CP), or intrahepatic CP (ICP), represents a condition peculiar to pregnancy, marked by impaired bile acid flow and consequent accumulation in the maternal bloodstream. Primarily emerging in the third trimester, CP is linked with considerable risks to both the mother and fetus, including heightened incidences of preterm birth, fetal distress, and stillbirth, alongside maternal complications such as intense pruritus and liver dysfunction. Despite its clinical significance, the etiology of CP, which involves genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors, remains partially understood. This comprehensive review delves into the physiology and pathophysiology of CP, outlines its clinical manifestations and diagnostic criteria, and discusses the associated maternal and fetal complications. Furthermore, it evaluates current management strategies, prognostic implications, and potential long-term effects on maternal and child health. It also explores future research directions, emphasizing the need for advancements in understanding the pathophysiology of CP, developing novel therapeutic interventions, and improving risk stratification models. By offering a thorough overview of CP, this review aims to enhance clinical awareness, guide management practices, and identify areas requiring further investigation, ultimately contributing to better health outcomes for affected women and their babies.

“…An established contributor to this is the quality of the clinical care and support received from maternity services (Hodnett, 2002;Hollins Martin & Martin, 2014). A negative birth experience has been established to be associated with a broad range of sub-optimal outcomes for the woman (Bell et al, 2018;Garthus-Niegel et al, 2013;Vogel et al, 2024) as well as potentially deleterious neonatal outcomes (Seefeld et al, 2022). Thus, the experience of childbirth is of important relevance to the wellbeing of both mother and baby (Fenech & Thomson, 2014).…”

BackgroundMaternal birth experience is being increasingly recognised as a key clinical outcome parameter. The Birth Satisfaction Scale-Revised (BSS-R) is a short self-report measure designed to assess birth experience. The current investigation sought to trans-late the BSS-R into Polish and validate this version of the BSS-R (PL-BSS-R).Participants and procedureThe BSS-R was translated into Polish by an expert panel using forward and backward translation. A complex within-subjects design with an embedded between-subjects component was used to determine the key psychometric characteristics of the PL-BSS-R. Two hundred ninety-four Polish-speaking women in Poland completed the follow-up component of the study where the PL-BSS-R was administered. The PL-BSS-R measurement properties were examined using confirmatory factor analysis, divergent, convergent validity analysis, internal consistency appraisal and investigation of known-groups discriminant characteristics.ResultsThe PL-BSS-R was found to have generally very good measurement properties and to be equivalent to the original English-language version across key validity indices. The PL-BBS-R was found to be significantly correlated with neonatal physical health immediately postpartum and differed across delivery modes.ConclusionsThe PL-BSS-R is a psychometrically robust measure of birth experience appropriate for clinical and research use within Po-land. Important associations were noted between subjective maternal birth experience and objective measures of neonatal physical health, indicating a critically important future research direction.
