  • Concentrations of potentially toxic metals and trace elements in pregnant women and association with birth outcomes

    Open Access•Mphatso Mwapasa, Shanshan Xu et al.•ARTICLE•PLOS Global Public Health•2024

    Potentially toxic metals and trace elements have been used in Malawi for a long time. However, data on exposure to these elements by susceptible groups like pregnant women and its associations with reproductive health outcomes in Malawi and southern hemisphere is limited. We investigated the concentrations of potentially toxic metals as well as trace elements in pregnant women and assessed the relationship between the levels these elements in mat…

  • Awareness of postpartum depression among midwives and pregnant women in Arkhangelsk, Arctic Russia

    Open Access•Elena Nechaeva, Olga A Kharkova et al.•ARTICLE•Global Health Action•2024

    BACKGROUND: Postpartum depression (PPD) affects approximately 17% of the women worldwide with nearly half of all cases going undetected. More research on maternal mental health, particularly among healthcare professionals and pregnant mothers, could help identify PPD risks and reduce its prevalence. OBJECTIVE: Given that awareness of PPD is a crucial preventive factor, we studied PPD awareness among midwives and pregnant women in Arkhangelsk, Arc…

  • Investigating the relationship between non-occupational pesticide exposure and metabolomic biomarkers

    Open Access•Saranya Palaniswamy, Anne Proffitt Dupre et al.•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Public Health•2023

    The relationship between pesticide exposures and metabolomics biomarkers is not well understood. We examined the changes in the serum metabolome (early biomarkers) and the metabolic pathways associated with various pesticide exposure scenarios (OPE: overall exposure, PEM: exposure in months, PEY: exposure in years, and PEU: reported specific pesticides use) using data from the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 31-year cross-sectional examination…

  • Predictors of Maternal Serum Concentrations for Selected Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in Pregnant Women and Associations with Birth Outcomes

    Open Access•Mphatso Mwapasa, Sandra Huber et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2023

    Population exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) may result in detrimental health effects, especially to pregnant women, developing foetuses and young children. We are reporting the findings of a cross-sectional study of 605 mothers in their late pregnancy, recruited between August 2020 and July 2021 in southern Malawi, and their offspring. The aim was to measure the concentrations of selected POPs in their maternal serum and indicate …

  • Experiences of Using Misoprostol in the Management of Incomplete Abortions

    Open Access•Bertha Magreta Chakhame, Elisabeth Darj et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2022

    Complications after abortion are a major cause of maternal death. Incomplete abortions are common and require treatment with surgical or medical uterine evacuation. Even though misoprostol is a cheaper and safer option, it is rarely used in Malawi. To improve services, an intervention was performed to increase the use of misoprostol in post-abortion care. This study explored healthcare providers' perceptions and experiences with misoprostol in th…
