Objective The role of posttranscription regulation in preeclampsia is largely unknown. We investigated preeclampsia-related placental microRNA (miRNA) expression using microarray and confirmatory quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction experiments. Study Design…

Objective This study was undertaken to identify the molecular basis of an arrest of descent. Study Design Human myometrium was obtained from women in term labor (TL; n = 29)…

Objective The objective of this study was to determine whether amniotic fluid levels of glial acidic fibrillary protein (GFAP) would reflect myelomeningocele-related neurodegeneration in the rat model of retinoic acid–induced…

Objective This study aimed to investigate the endothelium-dependent relaxation of uterine small arteries from pregnant nonsmokers, smokers, and ex-smokers who stopped smoking early in pregnancy. Study Design Uterine arteries were…

Objective Estrogen receptors are present within the fetal brain, suggesting that estrogens may exert an influence on cerebral development. Loss of placentally derived estrogen in preterm birth may impair development….

Objective We analyzed the cost-effectiveness (CE) and performances of commonly used prenatal Down syndrome (DS) screening strategies. Study Design We performed computer simulations to compare 8 screening options by applying…

Objective Mesh implants are widely used in surgery for female pelvic organ prolapse. Mesh shrinkage is thought to be common and caused by immunological processes. In this longitudinal study, we…

Objective We sought to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TG4001 in patients with human papillomavirus (HPV) 16–related cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 2/3 at 6 and 12 months. Study Design…

Objective Adiponectin, a protein secreted by adipose cells, is inversely associated with endometrial cancer. Our objective was to assess prediagnostic adiponectin levels in relation to risk of endometrial cancer. Study…
