The article below summarizes a roundtable discussion of a study published in this issue of the Journal in light of its methodology, relevance to practice, and implications for future research….
Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate possible altered chorionic vascularization patterns that are seen already in the first trimester of pregnancies that are complicated by hypertensive disorders…
Objective This study was undertaken to test injectable surgical sealants that are biocompatible with fetal membranes and that are to be used eventually for the closure of iatrogenic membrane defects….
Objective We hypothesized that repetitive umbilical cord occlusions (UCOs) with worsening acidosis will lead to a fetal inflammatory response. Study Design Chronically instrumented fetal sheep underwent a series of UCOs…
Objective MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are noncoding RNAs involved in posttranscriptional regulation of target genes. The objective of this study was to determine the miRNA expression profile of the human uterine cervix…
Objective We hypothesized that fetal lipopolysaccharide exposures to the chorioamnion, lung, or gut would induce distinct systemic inflammatory responses. Study Design Groups of 5-7 time-mated ewes were used to surgically…
Objective We sought to determine and compare surgical therapeutic indices (STIs) of the retropubic tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) and 2 kinds of transobturator tape (TOT), Monarc (American Medical Systems, Minneapolis,…
Objective The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of 3 previously described ovarian cancer serum biomarkers (apolipoprotein-1 [ApoA-I], prealbumin [TTR], transferrin [TF]) in the detection of endometrioid…
Objective We sought to analyze the presence of the microorganisms Chlamydia trachomatis , Mycoplasma genitalium , Neisseria gonorrhoeae , human papillomavirus (HPV), and the polyomaviruses BK virus (BKV) and JC…
Objective We sought to investigate the potential predictive value of SLIT/ROBO1 immunoreactivity in recurrent and nonrecurrent endometrial cancer (EC), and the relationship between SLIT/Roundabout (ROBO1) immunoreactivity and microvessel density (MVD)…
