itaylor+FollowCould This Blood Test Predict Preemies?Scientists just found that certain tiny RNAs (tsRNAs) floating in a pregnant woman’s blood could be early warning signs for preterm labor. Two of these tsRNAs were way higher in women who went into labor too soon, and one (tsRNA1) even messes with placenta cells, making things riskier for mom and baby. If this pans out, we might have a simple blood test to spot preterm birth risk way earlier than ever before! #PregnancyScience #PretermBirth #Biomarkers #WomensHealth #MedicalBreakthrough #Health00Share
Ryan Cunningham+FollowLiver Disease & Preterm Birth? Who Knew!Just found out that pregnant women with MASLD (a type of fatty liver disease) are over 3x more likely to have preterm births—even if they’re not overweight! Researchers in Sweden dug into national data and found this risk sticks, no matter BMI. The wild part? The liver issue itself seems to be the culprit, not just weight. Docs might need to rethink how they monitor moms-to-be with MASLD. Wild, right? #PregnancyHealth #LiverDisease #PretermBirth #WomensHealth #HealthNews #Health30Share
