Journal ArticleDOI
Cord serum concentrations of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) in relation to weight and size at birth.
Benjamin J. Apelberg,Frank R. Witter,Julie B. Herbstman,Antonia M. Calafat,Rolf U. Halden,Larry L. Needham,Lynn R. Goldman +6 more
TL;DR: Despite relatively low cord serum concentrations, there are small negative associations between both PFOS and PFOA concentrations and birth weight and size and future studies should attempt to replicate these findings in other populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydroxychloroquine in lupus pregnancy.
TL;DR: Similar to studies of nonpregnant women, the cessation of HCQ treatment during pregnancy increases the degree of lupus activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of increased lupus activity on obstetric outcomes.
TL;DR: High-activity lupus during pregnancy leads to increased premature birth and a decrease in live births, with almost one-quarter of these pregnancies resulting in fetal loss.
Journal ArticleDOI
DNA methylation of cord blood cell types: Applications for mixed cell birth studies.
Kelly M. Bakulski,Jason I. Feinberg,Shan V. Andrews,Jack Yang,Shannon Brown,Stephanie McKenney,Frank R. Witter,Jeremy D. Walston,Andrew P. Feinberg,M. Daniele Fallin +9 more
TL;DR: An algorithm is provided for estimating cell proportions in cord blood using the newly developed cord reference panel, which estimates biologically plausiblecell proportions in whole cord blood samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prenatal maternal stress and cord blood innate and adaptive cytokine responses in an inner-city cohort.
Rosalind J. Wright,Cynthia M. Visness,Agustin Calatroni,Mitchell H. Grayson,Diane R. Gold,Megan Sandel,Aviva Lee-Parritz,Robert A. Wood,Meyer Kattan,Gordon R. Bloomberg,Melissa S. Burger,Alkis Togias,Frank R. Witter,Rhoda S. Sperling,Yoel Sadovsky,James E. Gern +15 more
TL;DR: Prenatal stress was associated with altered innate and adaptive immune responses in CBMCs and stress-induced perinatal immunomodulation may impact the expression of allergic disease in these children.
