Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of earliest previous spontaneous preterm birth (SPTB) gestational age on cervical length, pregnancy duration, and ultrasound-indicated cerclage efficacy in…
Objective This study investigates fluoxetine (FLX) exposure as an etiology for altered gestational length and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Study Design Two experiments were performed exposing mice to drinking water (H…
Objective The objective of the study was to determine whether the alveolar-arterial (A-a) oxygen gradient is an adequate screening test for pulmonary embolism (PE) in pregnancy and postpartum. Study Design…
Objective Clinical evidence suggests that magnesium sulfate may reduce the risk of fetal neurologic injury in preterm delivery. Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) levels are elevated in preterm labor patients. There is…
Objective This study compared birth parameters and the longitudinal course in physical and neurologic development between children with 2 and 3 vessel umbilical cords. Study Design Our study of the…
Objective Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to adverse pregnancy outcomes. The purpose of this investigation was to assess total 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH-D) levels at diagnosis of early-onset severe preeclampsia…
Objective We investigated mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content in the maternal circulation of normal pregnancies of different gestational ages and in pregnancies complicated by intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Study Design We…
Objective Our objective was to determine signaling molecules and apoptosis rate in the term placenta of a baboon model of maternal nutrient reduction (MNR). Study Design Female baboons were fed…
Objective The level of tumor-associated receptor-binding cancer antigen that is expressed on SiSo cells (RCAS1) is decreased significantly in preeclamptic pregnancies. We hypothesized that RCAS1 protein gene silencing might affect…
Objective Congenital uterine abnormalities are common and may be associated with developmental renal abnormalities. Mutations of the hepatocyte nuclear factor-1β ( HNF1B) gene are associated with renal and uterine abnormalities….
