    The content of copper, zinc, plumbum and cadmium was determined in maternal blood, umbilical blood and placental tissue using atomic absorption method. In umbilical blood the concentration of copper and zinc was significantly lower, independent from sex and birth weight of the newborns and from age and residence of the mothers. Cadmium and plumbum did not show such differences. Placenta is permeable to cadmium.

    Development of the Oral Microbiota

    The establishment of the oral microbiome begins before birth, challenging the long-held belief that the fetal oral cavity is sterile. The presence of oral microbes such as Streptococcus and Fusobacterium in amniotic fluid suggests that microbial exposure may occur in utero, potentially through translocation from the maternal oral or gastrointestinal tract. This early colonization primes the neonatal immune system and sets the stage for subsequent microbial succession. Maternal health,...
