Objective We sought to determine efficacy of minor markers for detection of Down syndrome (DS) in a population prescreened with first-trimester combined screening (FTS). Study Design FTS was modified using…
Objective The objective of the study was to estimate the risk for postoperative adhesions and intestinal obstruction after cesarean delivery and to estimate whether the rate remains stable over time….
Objective We sought to evaluate amniotic fluid brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels as a biomarker of recipient twin (RT) cardiomyopathy (RTCM) in twin-twin transfusion syndrome. Study Design Amniotic fluid samples…
Objective Preimplantation factor is a novel embryo-derived peptide that influences key processes in early pregnancy implantation, including immunity, adhesion, remodeling, and apoptosis. Herein, we explore the effects of synthetic preimplantation…
Objective Preeclampsia is associated with perinatal brain injury. Autologous placenta stem cell transplantation represents a promising future treatment option for neuroregeneration. The aim of this study was to compare the…
Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of maternal nifedipine on fetal survival when started 24-48 hours before selective fetoscopic laser photocoagulation (SFLP). Study Design We…
Objective Most ultrasound estimated fetal weight (EFW) formulas incorporate abdominal circumference, which may overstimate growth restriction in fetal gastroschisis. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal ultrasound…
Objective We sought to assess pregnancy outcome along a continuum of cervical lengths (CLs) ≥25 mm. Study Design We conducted planned secondary analysis of a randomized cerclage trial of women…
Objective To compare the indications for invasive prenatal testing resulting in the detection of translocation Down syndrome and complete trisomy 21. Study Design This case control study was based on…
Objective To determine preoperative predictive factors for donor and recipient death after laser ablation of placental vessels in twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. Study Design Retrospective analysis of North American Fetal Therapy…
