Objective Superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase prevent cellular damage produced by free radicals. Our objective was to evaluate if prenatal alcohol exposure decreased the expression of antioxidant enzymes in…
Objective We studied whether magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could be used to detect placental inflammation before the detection of irreversible tissue damage. Next, we tested whether this early detection would…
Objective We sought to determine whether haptoglobin (Hp) phenotype is related to preeclampsia risk, or to plasma concentrations of soluble endoglin (sEng), soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt-1), and placental…
Objective The purpose of this study was to establish normal ranges for human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) serum levels in healthy women. Study Design HE4 levels were measured in healthy…
Objective Venous thromboembolism constitutes the leading cause of direct maternal mortality in the developed world. To date, there are no studies using magnetic resonance venography (MRV) to delineate the incidence…
Objective We sought to assess feasibility and perioperative outcomes for laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) in early endometrial cancer. Study Design This was a retrospective multicentric study of 100 early endometrial…
Objective We sought to determine whether an optimal level of lateral episiotomy use can be found by assessing the correlation between the hospital-based variations in episiotomy use and rates/odds ratios…
Objective The Disproportionate Intrauterine Growth Intervention Trial at Term (DIGITAT) compared induction of labor and expectant management in suspected intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) at term. In this subanalysis, we report…
Objective We sought to estimate the association between fetal gender and first-stage labor curve at term. Study Design Within a large, retrospective cohort study of consecutive, singleton term labor patients…
Objective The objective of the study was to determine whether the bacterial load of genital mycoplasmas and gestation age are related to intraamniotic inflammatory response using the amniotic fluid levels…
