Abstract:
Welcome to the Advancing Practice series Exploring Caesarean Birth and Birth After Caesarean. In Australia, the caesarean birth rate has risen to 37.2%, rising from 7% in 1980, translating to an increase of over 500% in 52 years. In this series we will look at the growing trend for caesarean birth, the reasons women have caesarean births, the risks associated, and the maternal mortality rate associated with caesarean births. A look at some consumer feedback about their experience of caesarean birth will highlight the gaps in knowledge for some women. In addition, the status of childbirth education for women who have caesarean births will also be explored.

Abstract:
AbstractBackgroundTears are common after vaginal birth, and different impact factors are known. However, the impact of tears from a previous birth to the tears of a subsequent birth is unknown. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the distribution of birth tear patterns according to the sustained tears in a previous birth, in addition to other impact factors.MethodsIn a retrospective cohort study, we evaluated all women up to parity 4 with subsequent vaginal, singleton births of vertex presentation at ≥37 + 0 gestational weeks between 1/2005 and 12/2016. Their tears were grouped into tear patterns and were analyzed by parity. Tear patterns in the subsequent births were analyzed in association to the patterns of the previous births and impact factors were evaluated.ResultsWe counted 4017 births in 1855 women [P1: 1368 (34.1%), P2: 1730 (43.1%), P3: 741 (18.4%), P4: 178 (4.4%)]. The frequency of tears and episiotomies decreased with higher parity, whereas the frequency of intact perineum increased. Twenty-eight different unique tear patterns were found. We could show that birth tear patterns changed with increasing parity and were associated with sustained tears in a previous birth. In addition, some impact factors on tear patterns could be identified.ConclusionThe distribution of the single tear types is in accordance with the current literature. However, it is new that distinct tear patterns are associated to sustained tear patterns of previous births. Furthermore, we demonstrated some weak associations of tear patterns to certain impact factors, such as more episiotomies, low-grade perineal or vaginal tears isolated or in combination with other tears with increasing fetal weight and head circumference in the higher parities, and with a longer duration of the second stage and the pushing phase in lower parities.

Abstract:
Every childbearing person has the right to learn about all options for perinatal care provider and birth setting. To ensure an informed decision about their preferred birth plan, information should be provided either preconceptionally or in early pregnancy. Personal preferences and risk status should be considered in decision-making. Numbers of births in birth centers have doubled over past decade to almost 20,000 births per year. The evidence shows that childbearing people who participate in birth center care, even if they have only birth center prenatal care, experience better outcomes including lower rates of preterm birth, low birth weight births, and cesarean birth, and higher rates of breastfeeding when compared to people with similar risk profiles who receive typical perinatal care.

Abstract:
Background: The birth process varies greatly; health workers should be able to provide education about each technique and help patients plan their labor process. Each delivery technique is assessed from the mother's side and the baby's side, not only for patient satisfaction but also for patient safety. This article will provide a review of various birth technique known which are home birth, water birth, lotus birth, hypno birth, and including various birth position. Methods: This article is a systematic review of qualitative and quantitative studies from studies published in PubMed, Cochrane, the British Medical Journal, BioMed Central, and Elsevier, published in 2015 to 2023. The study sample included healthy maternal nulliparous or multiparous women with a low risk of complications. The focus of the research is on childbirth using home birth techniques, water birth, lotus birth, hypno birth, and birth positions. This article includes research conducted in hospitals, maternity homes, and patients' homes. Results: There are 6 studies included in this review. Each of which provide the perspectives and experiences of patients and healthworkers regarding various birth technique used. Conclusions: Each birthing technique has its own advantages and disadvantages. Each birthing technique also has its own recommendation criteria so that a birthing technique cannot be used for every birthing patient. The birthing technique and birthing position must be adjusted to the patient's condition and the medical facilities available at that time.

Abstract:
SummaryThis study examines the effects of birth order and interpregnancy interval on birthweight, gestational age, weight-for-gestational age, infant length, and weight-for-length in a sample of 2063 births from a longitudinal study in the Philippines. First births are the most disadvantaged of any birth order/spacing group. The risks associated with short intervals (<6 months) and high birth order (fifth or higher) are confined to infants who have both attributes; there is no excess risk associated with short previous intervals among lower-order infants, nor for high birth order infants conceived after longer intervals. This pattern is observed for all five birth outcomes and neonatal mortality, and persists in models that control for mother's age, education, smoking, family health history and nutritional status. Since fewer than 2% of births are both short interval and high birth order, the potential reduction in the incidence of low birthweight or neonatal mortality from avoiding this category of high-risk births is quite small (1–2%).

Abstract:
ObjectivesTo compare the Optimality Index of planned birth in a birth centre with planned birth in a hospital and planned home birth for low-risk term pregnant women who start labour under the responsibility of a community midwife.DesignProspective cohort study.SettingLow-risk pregnant women under care of a community midwife and living in a region with one of the 21 participating Dutch birth centres or in a region with the possibility for midwife-led hospital birth. Home birth was commonly available in all regions included in the study.Participants3455 low-risk term pregnant women (1686 nulliparous and 1769 multiparous) who gave birth between 1 July 2013 and 31 December 2013: 1668 planned birth centre births, 701 planned midwife-led hospital births and 1086 planned home births.Main outcome measurementsThe Optimality IndexNL-2015, a tool to measure ‘maximum outcome with minimal intervention’, was assessed by planned place of birth being a birth centre, a hospital setting or at home. Also, a composite maternal and perinatal adverse outcome score was calculated for the different planned places of birth.ResultsThere were no differences in Optimality Index NL-2015 for pregnant women who planned to give birth in a birth centre compared with women who planned to give birth in a hospital. Although effect sizes were small, women who planned to give birth at home had a higher Optimality Index NL-2015 than women who planned to give birth in a birth centre. The differences were larger for multiparous than for nulliparous women.ConclusionThe Optimality Index NL-2015 for women with planned birth centre births was comparable with planned midwife-led hospital births. Women with planned home births had a higher Optimality Index NL-2015, that is, a higher sum score of evidence-based items with an optimal value than women with planned birth centre births.

Abstract:
Background: Birth weight or size at birth is an essential indicator of the child’s vulnerability to the risk of childhood illnesses and diseases. Birth weight also predicts a child’s future health, growth, psychosocial development, and chances of survival. This study aimed to assess birth weight among live births in Chitwan Medical College Teaching Hospital. Methods: A Hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted using face-to-face interviews in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Chitwan Medical College Teaching Hospital. A total of 153 women giving live births were considered as a sample. The data was collected from14 August to 13 September. We used the Pearson’s Chi-square test and binary logistic regression analysis to assess the factors influencing birth weight among women giving live births in Chitwan Medical College Results: Among 153 women giving live births, birth weight of newborn among live births 119(77.8%) had normal birth weight, 31(20.3%)low birth weight, 3(2%) very low birth weight. Result shows that birth weight among live births differ significantly with [ethnicity (OR=1.94;CI(0.7-5.39)], [family income (OR=1.72(0.20-14.81)], [weeks of pregnancy (OR=2.01;(0.99-8.46)], [birth interval(OR=2.45(0.39-15.34)], [planned pregnancy (OR=1.26(0.33-4.73)], [any chronic disease(OR=1.72(0.97-4.58)], [diet in pregnancy (OR=2.11(0.20-15.07)], [ANC check-up(OR=6.75(2.44-18.64)]. Conclusions: Almost one-fourth of live births had low birth weight. Multiple arrays of factors were associated with birth weight, which must be addressed. Adequate antenatal care visits integrated with nutritional supplementation and family planning services should be a focus to reduce low birth weight among live births.

Abstract:
A focused ethnography among African American college students who had observed a live birth prior to their own pregnancy was pursued. Women described two reasons to attend births: curiosity about birth, or a desire to support the birth mother. Women attended the births of friends, family members, or saw their mother give birth to a younger sibling. Themes included pain, operative or traumatic birth, and surprise at the length and/or stages of labor. Some language suggested lingering trauma. Future expectations included painful labor, operative birth or damage, or traumatic labor and birth. Other women felt closer to the infant, or felt more prepared for their own births after observing birth. Prior personal experiences at birth should be explored prenatally.

Abstract:
Foster parents are a vital component to the child welfare system and play an important role, one of which is supervising parental visitation (Muniz, 2018; Neil et al., 2003). With visitation as the primary intervention for family reunification (Haight et al., 2003), foster parents and birth parents are more than likely to interact with one another at some point in time. The purpose of this research study was to examine if foster parent attitudes toward birth parents influence foster parent attitudes toward birth parent visitation. Data was collected from 40 participants, 36 females and 4 males, from a foster family agency based in California and Texas. The study used a survey design and questions were distributed in a group setting, a mailed hard-copy, and a web survey link. The study’s findings revealed that that when foster parents had a more positive attitude toward birth parents, they had a more positive attitude toward birth parent visitation. The study concludes with recommendations for public child welfare agencies and foster family agencies to develop trainings for foster parents and for social workers to increase efforts in assisting foster parents and birth parents build cooperative relationships.

Reading the "Esquire", I came across the news: "U.S. Government and Donald Trump personally intend to change visa rules for pregnant women from other countries". It’s connected with a phenomenon, which received the name "birth tourism". The essence is very simple: pregnant women from foreign countries travel to the USA intentionally to have a baby there and then to register a foreign citizenship for their newborn child. So, why do people leave their country to give birth in other countriesand why is it improper?

Abstract:
Objectives: 3D/4D translabial ultrasound (4D TLUS) is used to image the levator ani muscle and the anal sphincter to diagnose maternal birth trauma. We tested the validity of these methods. Secondly, we studied the pelvic floor of Nepali women. Finally, we undertook a medium to long-term outcomes in women after OASI. Methods: The first study was a retrospective analysis of 172 nulliparae. All had an interview, clinical examination and 4D TLUS. For the Nepal study, 129 consecutive women attending a gynaecology clinic were offered the same. The long-term follow-up of 146 women after OASI included the above plus anal manometry. Results: Datasets of 162 and 153 nulliparae were available for levator and anal sphincter assessment. One woman was diagnosed with an avulsion, another with a significant external anal sphincter defect. In Nepal, 21% had significant cystocele, 38% uterine and 8% posterior compartment prolapse. 60% had uterine retroversion which was associated with uterine prolapse. There were 2 avulsions and 2 significant EAS defects. The OASI study showed a >50% prevalence of anal incontinence (AI) of high bother over 6 years after the index birth. Women after 3c/4th degree tear had more AI (58 vs 44%), lower MRP P<0.001, MSP P<0.001 and more residual EAS (P<0.001) and IAS (P=0.012) defects compared to 3a/3b tear. Residual IAS defects (P=0.001) and avulsion (P=0.048) were independent risk factors for AI. Conclusions: 1.) Published criteria for the diagnosis of maternal birth trauma on TLUS are unlikely to result in false-positive findings. 2.) POP is common in Nepali women, especially uterine prolapse. Retroversion is common and associated with uterine prolapse. Patterns of POP in Nepal seem to be different from Western populations. Maternal birth trauma is not prevalent. 3.) In a long-term follow-up after OASI, symptoms of AI were present in 51%. Higher tear grade were associated with more AI, more residual defects and lower manometric pressures.

Abstract:

This study explores the psychological dynamics associated with labor and birth in order to better understand the role these experiences play in women’s psychological development. This research study utilized interpretative phenomenological analysis as a research methodology and sought to address the following questions through the theoretical perspective of psychoanalysis and social constructionism: How does the experience of pregnancy and birth impact the subjectivity of women? How do women make sense of these experiences? What role does the body play in women’s psychological development? Does the experience of childbirth mark a unique developmental phase in the psychological life of women? In this research study, six women were asked to describe their birth narrative in full and respond to a series of open-ended questions. The results of this study indicate that pregnancy and childbirth is a porous developmental period associated with fears about capacity and feelings of omnipotence as well as multiple losses and a new sense of self. One of the more significant findings of this study is that the experience of labor and birth is felt by many women to involve feelings associated with encountering death. This finding may lead to increased understanding of why pregnancy and childbirth results in fragmentation for some women, while it appears to be a catalyst for increased subjectivity and maternal embodiment for other women.

Abstract:
Der Zellzyklus organisiert die Zellteilung, und kontrolliert die Replikation der DNA sowie die Weitergabe des Genoms an die nächste Zellgeneration. Er unterliegt einer strengen Kontrolle auf molekularer Ebene. Diese molekularen Kontrollmechanismen sind für das Überleben eines Organismus essentiell, da Fehler Krankheiten begüngstigen können. Vor allem Krebs ist assoziiert mit Abweichungen im Ablauf des Zellzyklus. Die Aufklärung solcher Kontrollmechanismen auf molekularer Ebene ermöglicht einerseits das Verständnis deren grundlegender Funktionsweise, andererseits können solche Erkenntnisse dazu beitragen, Methoden zu entwickeln um den Zellzyklus steuern zu können. Um die molekularen Abläufe des Zellzyklus in ihrer Gesamtheit besser zu verstehen, eignen sich computergestützte Analysen. Beim Zellzyklus handelt es sich um einen Signaltransduktionsweg. Die Eigenschaften dieser Prozesse stellen Rekonstruktion und Übersetzung in digital lesbare Formate vor besondere Herausforderungen in Bezug auf Skalierbarkeit, Simulierbarkeit und Parameterschätzung. Diese Studie präsentiert eine großskalige Netzwerkrekonstruktion des Zellzyklus des Modellorganismus Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Hierfür wurde die reaction-contingency Sprache benutzt, die sowohl eine mechanistisch detaillierte Rekonstruktion auf molekularer Ebene zulässt, als auch deren Übersetzung in ein bipartites Boolesches Modell. Für das Boolesche Modell mit 2506 Knoten konnte ein zyklischer Attraktor bestimmt werden, der das Verhalten einer sich teilenden Hefezelle darstellt. Das Boolesche Modell reproduziert zudem das erwartete phänotypische Verhalten bei Aktivierung von vier Zellzyklusinhibitoren, und in 32 von 37 getesteten Mutanten. Die Rekonstruktion des Zellzyklus der Hefe kann in Folgestudien genutzt werden, um Signaltransduktionswege zu integrieren, die mit dem Zellzyklus interferieren, deren Schnittstellen aufzuzeigen, und dem Ziel, die molekularen Mechanismen einer ganzen Zelle abzubilden, näher zu kommen. Diese Studie zeigt zudem, dass eine auf reaction- contingency Sprache basierte Rekonstruktion geeignet ist, um ein biologisches Netzwerk konsistent mit empirischer Daten darzustellen, und gleichzeitig durch Simulation die Funktionalität des Netzwerkes zu überprüfen.
The survival of a species depends on the correct transmission of an intact genome from one generation to the next. The cell cycle regulates this process and its correct execution is vital for survival of a species. The cell cycle underlies a strict control mechanism ensuring accurate cell cycle progression, as aberrations in cell cycle progression are often linked to serious defects and diseases such as cancer. Understanding this regulatory machinery of the cell cycle offers insights into how life functions on a molecular level and also provides for a better understanding of diseases and possible approaches to control them. Cell cycle control is furthermore a complex mechanism and studying it holistically provides for understanding its collective properties. Computational approaches facilitate holistic cell cycle control studies. However, the properties of the cell cycle control network challenge large-scale in silico studies with respect to scalability, model execution and parameter estimation. This thesis presents a mechanistically detailed and executable large-scale reconstruction of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell cycle control network based on reaction- contingency language. The reconstruction accounts for 229 proteins and consists of three individual cycles corresponding to the macroscopic events of DNA replication, spindle pole body duplication, and bud emergence and growth. The reconstruction translated into a bipartite Boolean model has, using an initial state determined with a priori knowledge, a cyclic attractor which reproduces the cyclic behavior of a wildtype yeast cell. The bipartite Boolean model has 2506 nodes and correctly responds to four cell cycle arrest chemicals. Furthermore, the bipartite Boolean model was used in a mutational study where 37 mutants were tested and 32 mutants found to reproduce known phenotypes. The reconstruction of the cell cycle control network of S. cerevisiae demonstrates the power of the reaction-contingency based approach, and paves the way for network extension with regard to the cell cycle machinery itself, and several signal transduction pathways interfering with the cell cycle.

Abstract:
Birth of a Mother is a memoir that tells the story of how my unplanned pregnancy helps me to transform from a damaged adolescent into an empowered mother. Using a first person, present tense narrative, I relive the nine months leading up to the unmedicated home birth of my first child, exploring the conflicts I faced over my obesity, over having no job and no place to call home, and over developing a relationship with a man who was not the baby's father. Weaving in past tense vignettes, I attempt to show how I prepared myself for impending motherhood by reflecting on my mother's short, violent life and the abuse I suffered at her hands; the effect of losing my mother at the age of twelve and my quest to find someone to fill her role throughout my adolescence; my experiences with faith, from Christianity, to Buddhism, to Atheism, to Paganism; and by struggling to heal the emotional scars left over from suffering childhood abuse, and multiple rapes as a teenager. As I uncover parallels between my mother's life and my own, I come to a new understanding of the mental illness that seems prevalent in my family, of the causes and triggers of my personal flaws, and of methods that I can use to become for my child the mother I always wanted for myself.

Abstract:
To investigate the relationship between birth asphyxia and neurological impairment a cohort of 184 infants with a low (≤3) one-minute Apgar score was studied. All were singletons, apparently normally formed, and born at term (≥37 weeks' gestation) in the John Radcliffe Hospital, between January 1984 and September 1985. The 181 cohort survivors were traced at the age of five years; 159 were assessed by a paediatrician on a battery of neurodevelopmental tests, and information about a further eight was obtained from other sources. Three infants in the cohort died neonatally with a diagnosis of birth asphyxia, and three had spastic quadriplegia, profound developmental delay and visual impairment. Examination of the perinatal histories of these six children, including their fetal heart rate patterns in labour and acid-base status at delivery, found convincing evidence of birth asphyxia. Only one other child in the cohort exhibited similar signs of birth asphyxia; he was unimpaired at the age of five. To assess the impact of birth asphyxia on the overall rate of cerebral palsy, all cases of cerebral palsy born to Oxford residents in the study period were identified. Of 30 cases of cerebral palsy, the three identified in the follow-up study were the only ones whose impairment could be attributed to birth asphyxia in a full-term birth. Birth asphyxia therefore accounted for 10% of all cases of cerebral palsy, a fraction that agrees with previous estimates. The frequency of cerebral palsy due to birth asphyxia was estimated as 1 in 3800 full-term livebirths. A detailed analysis of the test scores of the 159 children assessed by the paediatrician failed to show any association between their acid-base values at delivery and test scores, or between their fetal heart rate patterns in labour and test scores. These results conform with the view that birth asphyxia has an "all or nothing" effect, and that it presents as a cluster of abnormal neonatal signs, including persistent cerebral depression, severe acidaemia, neonatal encephalopathy, and multiorgan dysfunction.

Abstract:
Disparities in unintended childbearing remain a public health concern (Healthy People 2030). Using the 2015-19 cycle of the National Survey of Family Growth, we examine sociodemographic variation in birth intendedness, looking at births occurring between 2014-2018 to women aged 15-49. Birth intendedness is based on a series of questions in which women are asked to characterize each birth as on time, mistimed (wanted but occurring earlier than desired), or unwanted (the respondent did not want any births at all, or any additional births). When births are reported as too early, women were then asked how much earlier than desired the birth occurred. We categorize mistimed births into two groups: slightly mistimed (less than two years earlier than desired) or seriously mistimed (two or more years too early). This profile is an update of FP-17-091 and the second in a series on unintended childbearing in the U.S.

Abstract:
Although unintended childbearing has declined in recent years (Finer and Zolna, 2016; Jones and Jerman, 2017), reducing unintended childbearing remains a public health goal in the U.S. due to its links to poorer outcomes for mothers, children, and families (Healthy People 2030). In this profile, we investigate trends in birth intendedness among women 15-44 between 1997 and 2018 using the 2002, 2006-10, 2011-15, and 2015-19 cycles of the National Survey of Family Growth1. Birth intendedness is based on a series of questions in which women were asked to characterize each birth as on time, mistimed (wanted but occurring earlier than desired), or unwanted (the respondent did not want any births at all or no additional births). When births were reported as mistimed, women were asked how much earlier than desired the birth occurred, and we categorize mistimed births into two groups: slightly mistimed (less than two years earlier than desired) or seriously mistimed (two or more years too early). This profile is an update of FP-17-08 and is the first in a three-part series on unintended fertility in the U.S.
