Effects of sleep on multimodal cognitive functioning in college students
The results of this study suggest that insomnia and poor sleep quality are common in college students, and short sleep duration exacerbates sleep disturbances, a combination that can lead to declines in cognitive functions
Association of maternal postpartum depression symptoms with infant neurodevelopment and gut microbiota
Maternal PPD symptoms are associated with alterations in the gut microbiota and neurodevelopment in infants. This study provides new insights into potential early intervention for infants whose mother experienced PPD. Further research is warranted to elucidate the biological mechanisms underlying these associations

Association between maternal marginalization and infants born with congenital heart disease in Ontario Canada
Higher maternal material deprivation was associated with increasing odds of infant CHD, whereas neighbourhood minority ethnic concentration was inversely associated with the odds of infant CHD. Our study further confirms that poverty is associated with CHD development. Future investigations might focus on the causal pathways between social deprivation, immigrant status, ethnicity, and the risk of infant CHD

Worries, beliefs and factors influencing perinatal Covid-19 vaccination: A cross-sectional survey of preconception, pregnant and lactating individuals
In this Canadian perinatal population, approximately 42% reported COVID-19 vaccination. Among unvaccinated individuals, willingness to receive vaccination was high (73%). Factors enhancing vaccine willingness included discussions with healthcare providers and believing the vaccine was effective. Concerns regarding vaccine safety, particularly with respect to fetal/child development, were the greatest barriers to vaccine uptake
Giving Birth in the Early Phases of the Covid-19 Pandemic: The Patient Experience
The determinants of maternal homocysteine in pregnancy: Findings from the Ottawa and Kingston Birth Cohort
Objective: Observational studies have linked elevated homocysteine to vascular conditions. Folate intake has been associated with lower homocysteine concentration, although randomised controlled trials of folic acid supplementation to decrease the incidence of vascular conditions have been inconclusive. We investigated determinants of maternal homocysteine during pregnancy, particularly in a folic acid-fortified population. Design: Data were from…
Racial/ethnic variations in gestational weight gain: A population-based study in Ontario
Variations in unhealthy GWG by pre-pregnancy weight classes among Ontario White, Asian and Black women were observed. Individualized counseling regarding appropriate GWG is universally recommended. Additional consideration of racial/ethnic variations by maternal weight classes may help to promote healthy GWG in Canada

Design A cross-sectional comparison of folate concentrations in serum and RBC sampled simultaneously from the same individual. Setting The Ottawa Hospital and Kingston General Hospital, Ontario, Canada. Subjects Pregnant women recruited between 12 and 20 weeks of gestation. Results A total of 869 pregnant women recruite…
Impact of tea drinking upon tuberculosis: A neglected issue
There is a significance negative association between tea drinking and TB. Promoting the consumption of tea as the daily drink among populations, particularly those with high TB risk, may reduce the incidence of TB in the populations
Gender and regional disparities of tuberculosis in Hunan, China
As interventions such as introduction of the New Rural Cooperative Scheme put in place to reduce health disparities in China, regional disparity in relation to incidence of TB decreased significantly, but the gender disparity remains in the Hunan province
Chronic Perinatal Pain as a Risk Factor for Postpartum Depression Symptoms in Canadian Women
H1N1 Influenza Vaccination During Pregnancy and Fetal and Neonatal Outcomes
Objectives. We evaluated the relationship between maternal H1N1 vaccination and fetal and neonatal outcomes among singleton births during the 2009–2010 H1N1 pandemic. Methods. We used a population-based perinatal database in Ontario, Canada, to examine preterm birth (PTB), small-for-gestational-age (SGA) births, 5-minute Apgar score below 7, and fetal death via multivariable regression. We compared outcomes between women who did and did not recei…

PARTICIPANTS: 534 Pregnant women wh…
Teenage pregnancy and adverse birth outcomes: A large population based retrospective cohort study
BACKGROUND: Whether the association between teenage pregnancy and adverse birth outcomes could be explained by deleterious social environment, inadequate prenatal care, or biological immaturity remains controversial. The objective of this study was to determine whether teenage pregnancy is associated with increased adverse birth outcomes independent of known confounding factors. METHODS: We carried out a retrospective cohort study of 3,886,364 nu…

The Impact of the Increasing Number of Multiple Births on the Rates of Preterm Birth and Low Birthweight: An International Study
Objectives. We studied the effects of twins and triplets on perinatal health indicators in the overall population in the 1980s and 1990s in Canada, England and Wales, France, and the United States. Methods. Data were derived mostly from live birth registration. We used rates, relative risks, and population attributable risks for twins and triplets separately. Results. In each country, the increase in multiple births, and the increase in preterm d…
A New and Improved Population-Based Canadian Reference for Birth Weight for Gestational Age
BACKGROUND: Existing fetal growth references all suffer from 1 or more major methodologic problems, including errors in reported gestational age, biologically implausible birth weight for gestational age, insufficient sample sizes at low gestational age, single-hospital or other non-population-based samples, and inadequate statistical modeling techniques. METHODS: We used the newly developed Canadian national linked file of singleton births and i…

Utilization of health care services by immigrants and other ethnic/cultural groups in Ontario
We conclude that while immigrants and other ethnic/cultural groups in Ontario usually had equal access to regular services (e.g., visits to general practitioner's office), they often had lower utilization of hospital emergency departments. However, general purpose surveys have limited utility in assessing reasons of health care utilization amongst different ethnic/cultural groups

A comparison of perinatal mortality between ethnic Chinese and ethnic whites: Why the Chinese rate was lower
Perinatal mortality rate is lower in ethnic Chinese than in ethnic whites, and the lower perinatal mortality rate in ethnic Chinese is probably caused by their favourable birth weight distribution and lower exposure to risk factors of perinatal death by their mothers
