  1. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐒👶 A new #study using #3D pelvic scans across 29 primate species overturns a decades-old assumption that #humans have the toughest births.

    Researchers found that squirrel #monkeys and #tamarins give birth to #babies with heads roughly double the size of the maternal #birth canal. These species get around the problem with temporary pelvic bone dislocation or open pelvises held together by stretchable connective tissue.

    [a #video about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

    In recent days, #Cuban civil society organizations have denounced the devastating impact of the #US government’s economic war on the Cuban people.

    Dr. Dayana Couto Núñez, president of the Cuban Society of #Gynecology and #Obstetrics, says shortages of medicines, medical supplies, technology and fuel are affecting surgeries, ultrasounds, diagnostic tests and maternal care.

    According to Couto, the situation is making it harder to detect congenital malformations early and to care for premature and low-birth-weight babies, who often require specialized medication and high-tech equipment.

    “Neither our women nor our children are to blame,” she said. “They need #medical care, #medicines and quality resources.”

  13. RE: biologists.social/@biorxivprep

    Very interesting pre-print on C-section delivery and oxytocin and vasopressin.

    Why voles?
    "The use of voles as subjects here also offers several advantages.
    First, voles tolerate room temperature housing well [36], without the metabolic [37,38], autonomic [12,39] and
    neuroendocrine [40] consequences faced by mice housed at room temperature. Voles are undomesticated,
    which means their OXT and AVP systems have not undergone artificial selection as in mice [41]. "

University of Nebraska-Lincoln: More realistic content may reduce social media harms for new moms. “Scrolling through picture-perfect portrayals of motherhood may be doing real harm to moms, but a new study from University of Nebraska–Lincoln media scholar Ciera Kirkpatrick shows a ‘dose of reality’ may mitigate some of the damage.”
