BACKGROUND Maternal gestational smoking, diabetes, alcohol drinking, and pre-pregnancy obesity are thought to increase the risk of cryptorchidism in newborn males, but the evidence is inconsistent. METHOD We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies on the association between maternal gestational smoking, diabetes, alcohol drinking, and pre-pregnancy obesity and the risk of c...

background & aim: gestational diabetes is a medical condition that can lead to adverse outcomes of pregnancy. in this regard, the best way to reduce symptoms can be patient education. hence, the aim of this study was to determine the effects of face-to-face training and booklet-based education on the maternal outcomes of diabetes in pregnancy. methods & materials: a total of 126 patients with g...

OBJECTIVE While maternal diabetes is a known risk factor for perinatal complications, there is little data on long-term intellectual outcome in offspring. We compare the rejection rate and cognitive functioning of military conscripts according to maternal diabetes status during pregnancy. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We identified a cohort of Danish male offspring of diabetic mothers born betw...

The hypothesis of fuel-mediated teratogenesis (1) proposes that intrauterine exposure to an excess of fuels (for example, glucose) causes permanent fetal changes. In pregnancies complicated by diabetes, this would lead to malformations, greater birth weight, and an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes in later life. Recently, obesity in the offspring has been included as an outcome in p...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to examine whether perceptions of physician recommendations about maternal involvement in adolescent diabetes management are associated with children's reports of mothers' involvement during the subsequent week. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Youth with type 1 diabetes (aged 10-15 years) and mothers completed scales measuring perceptions of physician recom...

OBJECTIVE To examine the relationships among maternal and child depressive symptoms and child and family psychosocial factors. METHOD Secondary analysis of baseline data for a coping skills intervention for school-age children (ages 8-12) with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and their mothers. Children and mothers completed measures of depressive symptoms, coping, quality of life, and family functionin...

OBJECTIVE Epidemiological and experimental studies have led to the hypothesis of fetal origin of adult diseases, suggesting that some adult diseases might be determined before birth by altered fetal development. We have previously demonstrated in the rat that in utero exposure to maternal diabetes impairs renal development leading to a reduction in nephron number. Little is known on the long-te...

insulin is currently the drug of choice in treating patients with gestational diabetes mellitus but insulin is expensive, inconvenient to store and use and probably associated with more risks of asymptomatic hypoglycemia in comparison with some oral agents. this randomized clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of glyburide in patients with gestational diabetes mellitu...

maternal diabetes has teratogenic effects on the evolution of the fetal cardiovascular system; as a consequence, cardiovascular malformations are the most common anomalies in infants of diabetic mothers. the present study focuses on the association of all types of diabetes in mothers with the incidence of congenital cardiovascular malformations in their infants. in this retrospective case-contr...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate maternal and neonatal outcomes in Korean women with type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. METHODS We performed a retrospective survey of 163 pregnancies in women with type 1 diabetes (n=13) and type 2 diabetes (n=150) treated from 2003 to 2010 at Cheil General Hospital & Women's Healthcare Center, Korea. We compared maternal characteristics ...
