Abstract

Highlights: • These cases of maternal deaths caused by COVID-19 infections illustrated the significant risk factors for maternal mortality during the early phases of the pandemic, while studies had not extensively reported this. • COVID-19 infections increase the risk of maternal and neonatal mortality, with infants having a lower chance of survival even if they are delivered. • Respiratory support, antiviral medications, antibiotics, anticoagulants, and supportive care are the primary treatments for severe COVID-19 in pregnancy. Abstract This article presents seven cases of maternal deaths attributed to COVID-19 during the first year of the pandemic wave. These cases provide insights into the natural progression of COVID-19 in pregnant women who were not vaccinated. This study showed that COVID-19 significantly increased maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity. All of the patients exhibited symptoms of fever, cough, and dyspnea upon admission to the hospital. They were admitted with elevated respiratory rates (26–32 times/minute) and low oxygen saturation (<95%). Four patients had obesity, while one patient had pregestational diabetes. The COVID-19 diagnosis was established using a rapid antibody or antigen test and chest X-ray, which indicated pneumonia. Medical interventions administered to the patients included antiviral therapy (5 patients), antibiotics (6 patients), and anticoagulants (4 patients). From a total of five babies delivered, four babies were delivered via cesarean section. Two babies were not delivered due to previability and maternal deaths before delivery. The patients passed away within 3–10 days of hospital admission. In conclusion, adequate and early intervention and management of pregnant women infected with COVID-19 are crucial in preventing maternal and neonatal deaths, especially in unvaccinated women.

Abstract

Background: Water birth, defined as labor and/or delivery conducted in warm water, has gained increasing recognition as a patient-centered and physiologically supportive birth practice. Beyond analgesia, growing evidence indicates that water immersion during labor modulates maternal neuroendocrine regulation, psychological well-being, and neonatal physiological adaptation. Nevertheless, these hormonal and psychophysiological mechanisms remain insufficiently integrated into conventional perinatal research and clinical frameworks. This review aims to synthesize current evidence on the neuroendocrine, psychophysiological, obstetric, and neonatal effects of water birth and to evaluate its clinical effectiveness and safety in low-risk pregnancies. Methods: An integrative review was conducted using a PRISMA-guided approach to identify peer-reviewed studies published between 2000 and 2025. Literature searches retrieved 3,287 records from major biomedical databases, of which 44 studies (12 randomized controlled trials, 19 cohort studies, 6 case–control studies, and 7 systematic reviews) met inclusion criteria. Data were synthesized thematically, focusing on maternal hormonal responses (oxytocin, β-endorphins, cortisol, prolactin), labor outcomes, breastfeeding, postpartum mood, neonatal adaptation, and safety considerations. Results: Across study designs, water immersion during labor was associated with increased endogenous oxytocin and β-endorphin activity and reduced stress-related hormonal responses. Clinically, first-stage labor was shortened by approximately 42–78 minutes, and epidural analgesia use was reduced by 30–50% compared with conventional land birth. Episiotomy rates were generally below 5%, and maternal satisfaction scores were consistently higher. Early breastfeeding initiation occurred in 86–92% of water birth cases, with exclusive breastfeeding rates at six weeks ranging from 66–77%. Neonatal outcomes, including 5-minute Apgar scores and NICU admission rates, were comparable to or slightly better than conventional birth in low-risk populations, with no consistent increase in infection or respiratory complications when standardized protocols were applied. Conclusion: Water birth supports a hormonally optimized and psychologically protective labor environment, with measurable benefits for labor efficiency, maternal experience, breastfeeding success, and neonatal physiological transition. When implemented under evidence-based guidelines, it represents a credible non-pharmacological option within contemporary, physiology-informed maternity care.

Abstract

Objective: Trisomy 21 remains the most common live-born aneuploidy and a major contributor to perinatal morbidity. Although prenatal screening, particularly non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), has advanced substantially, clinical management offers no corrective options. Emerging allele-specific genome-editing approaches propose targeted removal or silencing of the extra chromosome 21. This review summarizes current evidence and evaluates the translational relevance of these technologies in perinatal medicine.Methods: A narrative review was conducted following PRISMA-aligned procedures. A structured search of PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science (January 2000–July 2025) identified 1,242 records. After duplicate removal, title/abstract screening, and full-text assessment based on predefined inclusion criteria, 54 studies met eligibility requirements. Data were synthesized across four domains: mechanistic strategies, developmental applicability, translational feasibility, and ethical–regulatory considerations.Results: Allele-specific CRISPR-Cas9 studies demonstrated selective cleavage of the supernumerary chromosome 21 in cellular models, with partial restoration of near-euploid transcriptional patterns. Additional approaches—XIST-mediated silencing and centromere destabilization—provided alternative mechanisms with varying stability and specificity. Evidence remains limited to in vitro systems, with no validated embryo or fetal applications. Key challenges include mosaicism, delivery barriers, individualized SNP targeting, and ethical governance.Conclusions: Allele-specific chromosome editing represents a promising but still experimental direction for future perinatal therapeutics. Current findings justify continued multidisciplinary investigation while emphasizing cautious interpretation and rigorous ethical oversight prior to any clinical translation. Abstrak Tujuan: Trisomi 21 tetap menjadi aneuploidi yang paling sering ditemukan pada kelahiran hidup dan merupakan kontributor utama terhadap morbiditas perinatal. Meskipun skrining prenatal—khususnya non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT)—telah mengalami kemajuan yang signifikan, penatalaksanaan klinis hingga kini belum menawarkan opsi korektif. Pendekatan pengeditan genom spesifik alel yang mulai berkembang mengusulkan penghilangan atau penghambatan terarah terhadap salinan ekstra kromosom 21. Tinjauan ini merangkum bukti terkini serta mengevaluasi relevansi translasional teknologi tersebut dalam kedokteran perinatal.Metode: Tinjauan naratif dilakukan dengan mengikuti prosedur yang selaras dengan PRISMA. Pencarian terstruktur terhadap PubMed, Scopus, dan Web of Science (Januari 2000–Juli 2025) mengidentifikasi 1.242 rekaman. Setelah penghapusan duplikasi, penyaringan judul/abstrak, dan penilaian teks lengkap berdasarkan kriteria inklusi yang telah ditentukan, sebanyak 54 studi memenuhi persyaratan kelayakan. Data disintesis ke dalam empat domain: strategi mekanistik, aplikabilitas perkembangan, kelayakan translasional, serta pertimbangan etika dan regulasi.Hasil: Studi CRISPR-Cas9 spesifik alel menunjukkan pemotongan selektif terhadap kromosom 21 supernumerari pada model seluler, dengan pemulihan parsial pola transkripsi menuju profil ekspresi gen yang menyerupai kondisi euploid. Pendekatan lain—seperti penghambatan berbasis XIST dan destabilisasi sentromer—menyediakan mekanisme alternatif dengan tingkat kestabilan dan spesifisitas yang bervariasi. Bukti saat ini terbatas pada sistem in vitro, tanpa aplikasi yang tervalidasi pada embrio maupun janin. Tantangan utama meliputi mosaikisme, hambatan pengantaran, kebutuhan penargetan SNP individual, serta tata kelola etis.Kesimpulan: Pengeditan kromosom spesifik alel merupakan arah yang menjanjikan, namun masih bersifat eksperimental bagi terapi perinatal di masa mendatang. Temuan saat ini mendukung keberlanjutan penelitian multidisipliner, sekaligus menekankan perlunya interpretasi yang hati-hati dan pengawasan etika yang ketat sebelum penerapannya dalam praktik klinis.Kata Kunci: Bedah genom janin; CRISPR-Cas9; Penyuntingan gen perinatal; Terapi kromosom; Trisomi 21
