Pregnancy-induced changes in immune protection of the genital tract: defining normal
Objective Both the state of pregnancy as well as disruption of vaginal flora and immune mediators may increase the risk of human immunodeficiency virus-1 acquisition. The objective of this study…
The Mothers, Omega-3, and Mental Health Study: a double-blind, randomized controlled trial
Objectives Maternal deficiency of the omega-3 fatty acid, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), has been associated with perinatal depression, but there is evidence that supplementation with eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) may be more…
Management strategy in pregnancies with elevated second-trimester maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein based on a second assay
Objective To assess maternal-fetal outcomes in pregnancies associated with persistently elevated second-trimester maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein. Study Design A retrospective cohort study in 658 patients with maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein ≥2.5 multiple…
Is thrombin activation predictive of subsequent preterm delivery?
