Vaginal microbial diversity and pregnancy outcomes SciReports univ_paris_cite vaginalmicrobiome microbiota pregnancy outcomes pregnancyoutcomes
By Dr. Chinta SidharthanJun 6 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study published in the Scientific Reports Journal, researchers examined the diversity, community-type prevalence, and role of the vaginal microbiota in various pregnancy outcomes.
The ovarian steroid hormone cycle and the changes in estrogen levels associated with the availability of glycogen change the vaginal microbiota of women of reproductive age. About the study In the present study, the researchers enrolled 749 women from diverse ethnicities in the last trimester of their pregnancy, and vaginal swabs were obtained from all the participants for microbial analyses.
The microbial diversities of vaginal microbiomes were analyzed concerning adverse pregnancy outcomes. Preterm birth was one of the unfavorable outcomes examined in the study associated with bacterial vaginosis. Furthermore, the findings suggested that specific species in the vaginal microbiome are not the best indicator of the risk of adverse outcomes during pregnancy. Still, the overall diversity of the vaginal microbial community does provide a better understanding of the risk.

Researchers use new deep learning approach to enable analysis of electrocardiograms as languageMount Sinai researchers have developed an innovative artificial intelligence (AI) model for electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis that allows for the interpretation of ECGs as language. This approach can enhance the accuracy and effectiveness of ECG-related diagnoses, especially for cardiac conditions where limited data is available on which to train.
