Objective Late-preterm infants (34 weeks 0/7 days-36 weeks 6/7 days’ gestation) represent the largest proportion of singleton preterm births. A systematic review was performed to access the short- and/or long-term…
Objective We sought to evaluate an intrapartum nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) for group B streptococcus (GBS). Study Design This was a prospective cohort study of 559 women comparing intrapartum…
Objective We sought to determine whether morbid obesity is associated with increased maternal hypotension or fetal heart rate (FHR) abnormalities after epidural anesthesia placement during labor. Study Design This was…
Objective The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of instituting a comprehensive protocol for the treatment of maternal hemorrhage. Study Design The protocol was separated into 4…
Objective We sought to investigate the mechanisms of action by which pravastatin improves vascular reactivity in a mouse model of preeclampsia induced by overexpression of soluble Fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt)-1….
Objective The purpose of this study was to determine the performance of Down syndrome screening in triplet pregnancy. Study Design Nuchal translucency (NT; n = 794), nasal bone (n =…

Objective The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that daily 40-minute whole body exposure to an inhomogeneous static magnetic field (SMF) prolongs induced preterm birth (PTB) in mice. Study…
Objective The clinical utility of tumor necrosis factor–related apoptosis–inducing ligand (TRAIL) in the treatment of established human malignancies is limited by the development of resistance to TRAIL. We hypothesized that…
Objective The study was undertaken to explore the antiproliferative mechanism of action of 2-[piperidinoethoxyphenyl]-3-[4-hydroxyphenyl]-2H-benzo(b)pyran (K-1) in estradiol-induced rat uterine hyperplasia. Study Design Adult ovariectomized rats received vehicle or estradiol alone…
