Use of cannabis during pregnancy and birth outcomes in an Aboriginal birth cohort: a cross-sectional, population-based study by Deirdre Gartland, Stephanie J Brown, Karen Glover, Fiona K Mensah, Cathy Leane, Jane Yelland, Jackie Ah Kit, Deanna Stuart-Butler, Donna Weetra, Jonathan Newbury

“…Controlling for education and other social characteristics, including stressful events/social health issues did not alter the conclusion that mothers using cannabis experience a higher risk of negative birth outcomes (adjusted OR for odds of low birth weight 3.9, 95% CI 1.4 to 11.2).Conclusions The findings provide a compelling case for stronger efforts to address the clustering of risk for adverse outcomes in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, and point to the need for antenatal care to address broader social determinants of adverse perinatal outcomes. Integrated responses—collaboratively developed with Aboriginal communities and organisations—that focus on constellations of risk factors, and a holistic approach to addressing social determinants of adverse birth outcomes, are required.…”

Distribution and environmental drivers of macrofaunal nematode communities across gradients of methane seepage at cold seeps on Hikurangi Margin (New Zealand) and potential implica... by Daniel Leduc, Ashley A. Rowden, Ashley A. Rowden, Sarah Seabrook, David A. Bowden, Andrew R. Thurber, Andrew R. Thurber, Jane Halliday, Cliff S. Law, Cliff S. Law, Olivia S. Pereira, Bethany G. Whitten, Andrew Marriner

“…Impact on seep communities from gas hydrate extraction processes may occur via reduction or potentially cessation of free-gas methane supply to the seafloor, ‘sand’ production at the seafloor due to the physical degradation of the substrate structure, or alteration of the structural integrity of the seafloor substrate. Any spatial management options considered for managing these impacts should reflect the differences in benthic community structure between depths and locations on the Hikurangi Margin.…”
