To better understand the unique relationship between maternal Alzheimer's disease and risk in her offspring, Dr Pratico and his colleagues looked at maternal fat intake specifically during the
gestation period in mice engineered to develop Alzheimer's disease.
[USA], Aug 27 (ANI): A recent study has revealed that a high-fat diet during
gestation guards the fetus against changes in the brain that may lead to Alzheimer's disease later.

gestation and calving calendar, refer to the Seeds of Gold Magazine in the Saturday Nation of Saturday, August 10, 2019.
Compared with term/postterm infants, early preterm (23 to 33 weeks of
gestation) and late preterm (34 to 36 weeks of
gestation) infants had a lower rate of seven-vaccine series completion.
According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, full-term pregnancy is described as a period from the beginning of week 39 to the end of week 41 of
gestation. Early term pregnancy is from the start of week 37 through the end of week 38 and late term begins from week 42.
This process begins in the final stage of
gestation and continues during the initial period of lactation, where the growth of the pregnant uterus negatively influences rumen size and dry matter intake (1).
All subjects were in 15th-18th week of
gestation with no co morbidity or any significant chronic disease.
Five experimental diets containing different levels of RSM (0%, 3%, 6%, 9%, and 12%) were provided to sows during
gestation. During lactation all sows were fed a common diet without RSM supplementation after farrowing regardless of the
gestation treatments.
There is general agreement that women with a singleton
gestation and a prior spontaneous preterm birth should be offered 17-OHPC, and that women with a singleton
gestation and a midtrimester shortened cervical length should be offered vaginal progesterone and not 17-OHPC.
The incidence of triplet and higher order multifetal
gestation is rising since 1980, primarily due to the increasingly widespread availability of infertility therapies and postponing conception to older age [1].
Several strategies involving PGF treatment have been previously described (reviewed by De RENSIS, (2012)), which clearly support that
gestation in the sow is dependent on progesterone secreted from corpora lutea until the onset of parturition.
This study aimed to explore a reliable method to assess cortical sulcus and to describe the normal sonographic features of cortical sulcus development in the human fetus between 18 and 41 weeks of
gestation. Methods: A cross-sectional study was designed to examine the fetal cortical sulcus development at 18–41 weeks of
gestation.
