Objective Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a dietary fatty acid with neuroprotective properties. We hypothesized that DHA treatment after hypoxia-ischemia would improve function and reduce brain volume loss in a perinatal…
Objective To evaluate the screening accuracy of pregnancy hypertensive disorders by maternal serum biomarkers and uterine artery Doppler in the first trimester. Study Design Prospectively enrolled nulliparous women had uterine…
Objective Women with twin pregnancies may have higher rates of isolated proteinuria than do those with singletons. We compared protein-to-creatinine (P:C) ratios longitudinally through gestation in uncomplicated twin and singleton…
Objective To compare eclampsia and magnesium toxicity management among residents randomly assigned to lecture or simulation-based education. Study Design Statified by year, residents (n = 38) were randomly assigned to…
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…
