TL;DR: This paper shows how fetal undernutrition at different stages of gestation can be linked to these patterns of early growth in babies who are small at birth or during infancy.

TL;DR: Prenatal exposure to famine, especially during late gestation, is linked to decreased glucose tolerance in adults, and this effect of famine on glucose tolerance is especially important in people who become obese as adults.

TL;DR: Mortality and morbidity are increased among infants born at term whose birth weights are at or below the 3rd percentile for their gestational age, and these differences persisted after adjustment for the mother's race and parity and the infant's sex.
Abstract: Background At any given gestational age, infants with low birth weight have relatively high morbidity and mortality. It is not known, however, whether there is a threshold weight below which morbidity and mortality are significantly greater, or whether that threshold varies with gestational age. Methods We analyzed the neonatal outcomes of death, five-minute Apgar score, umbilical-artery blood pH, and morbidity due to prematurity for all singleton infants delivered at Parkland Hospital, Dallas, between January 1, 1988, and August 31, 1996. A distribution of birth weights according to week of gestation at birth was created. Infants in the 26th through 75th percentiles for weight served as the reference group. Data on preterm infants (those born at 24 to 36 weeks of gestation) were analyzed separately from data on infants delivered at term (37 or more weeks of gestation). Results A total of 122,754 women and adolescents delivered singleton live infants without malformations between 24 and 43 weeks of gestat...

TL;DR: Maternal malnutrition during early gestation was associated with higher BMI and waist circumference in 50-y-old women but not in men, and pertubations of central endocrine regulatory systems established in early gestation may contribute to the development of abdominal obesity in later life.

TL;DR: Cryopreservation procedures that allow a high survival rate of four- and eight-cell human embryos and the establishment of a pregnancy following the freezing and storage of an eight- cell embryo for 4 months in liquid nitrogen are reported.
Abstract: The widespread use of clomiphene citrate and exogenous gonadotrophins for in vitro fertilization (IVF) in human frequently results in the production of multiple embryos. Replacement of more than two embryos increases pregnancy rate but may result in multiple pregnancies with increased pre- and post-natal abnormality. Preservation of embryos for a limited time allows fewer embryos to be replaced on several different occasions and thus the problems of multiple pregnancy can be minimized, the effectiveness of a single IVF procedure increased and embryo replacement in adverse maternal conditions avoided. Preimplantation embryos have been successfully cryopreserved in many animal species. The sensitivity of embryos to cooling and freezing varies between species and stages of embryo development. We report here the cryopreservation procedures that allow a high survival rate of four- and eight-cell human embryos and the establishment of a pregnancy following the freezing and storage of an eight-cell embryo for 4 months in liquid nitrogen. The pregnancy terminated at 24 weeks' gestation due to development of a septic Streptomyces agalactiae chorion amnionitis after premature membrane rupture.
