Abstract Purpose of Review We review here recent original research and meta-analytic evidence on the associations of maternal hypertensive pregnancy disorders and mental and behavioral disorders in the offspring. Recent Findings Seven meta-analyses and 11 of 16 original research studies published since 2015 showed significant associations between maternal hypertensive pregnancy disorders and offspring mental and behavioral disorders. Evidence was most consistent in meta-analyses and high-quality cohort studies. The associations, independent of familial confounding, were observed on different mental and behavioral disorders in childhood and schizophrenia in adulthood. Preterm birth and small-for-gestational age birth emerged as possible moderators and mediators of the associations. Cross-sectional and case-control studies yielded inconsistent findings, but had lower methodological quality. Summary Accumulating evidence from methodologically sound studies shows that maternal hypertensive pregnancy disorders are associated with an increased risk of mental and behavioral disorders in the offspring in childhood. More studies on adult mental disorders are needed.

Factors affecting the eligibility and acceptability of voluntary counselling and rapid HIV testing (VCT) were examined among pregnant women presenting in labour in Pune, India. Of the 6702 total women appearing at the delivery room from April 2001 to March 2002, 4638 (69%) were admitted for normal delivery. The remaining women presented with obstetrical complications, delivered immediately or were detected to be in false labour. Overall, 2818 (61%) of the admitted women had been previously tested for HIV during their pregnancy. If previously seen in the hospital's affiliated antenatal clinic, the likelihood of being previously tested was 89%, in contrast to 27% of women having prenatal care elsewhere. Of the admitted women, 3436 (74.3%) were assessed for their eligibility for rapid HIV VCT in the delivery room. Only 1322 (38%) of these women were found to be in early labour and without severe pain or complications, and therefore eligible for rapid HIV screening in the delivery room (DR). Of those 1322 eligible women, only 582 (44%) consented and were tested for HIV, of whom nine (1.6%) were found to be HIV-infected. Of the 1674 women arriving in the DR with no evidence of previous HIV testing, through this DR screening programme, we identified four women with HIV who could now benefit from treatment with ART. Given the high rates of HIV testing in the antenatal clinic at this site and the challenges inherent to conducting DR screening, alternatives such as post-partum testing should be considered to help reduce maternal to infant transmission in this population.

SUMMARYThe influence of mastitis and early lactation, and the effect of treating milk with heparin, blood serum and trypsin, on the proportion of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity in milk serum was investigated. The relative importance of milk serum LPL and LPL bound to micellar casein in promoting lipolysis was also examined. Colostrum contained LPL activity, 45% of which was found in the serum phase in samples obtained from the first milking post partum, but this value fell to 34% in samples taken 24 h later. The proportion of serum LPL was also increased in milks from quarters infected with Staphylococcus aureus, but not after overnight treatment of normal milk at 4 °C with 5% (w/v) blood serum or 2 µg/ml trypsin. The addition of 5 µg/ml heparin resulted in a consistent increase in serum LPL which varied between 14 and 50% of total milk LPL. Heparin did not release all the enzyme bound to casein micelles even after a second heparin treatment of resuspended micelles. Serum LPL was more effective in promoting lipolysis and was more responsive to blood serum activation than LPL bound to casein micelles. Lipolysis increased after heparin treatment but the increase was not related to serum LPL activity.
