TL;DR: Although each type of inflammation is a risk factor for spontaneous preterm delivery, many patients had a term delivery without complication; and the amniotic fluid in the midtrimester did not contain microorganisms detectable with cultivation techniques.

TL;DR: Viral nucleic acids are detectable in 2.2% of AF samples obtained from asymptomatic women in the midtrimester, and HHV6 was the most frequently detected virus in AF, which was consistent with genomic integration of viral DNA and genetic infection in all women.

TL;DR: Department of Gynecological Sciences and Human Reproduction, University of Padova,Padova, Italy, and Division of Airway Endoscopic Surgery, Azienda Ospedaliera,University of Padovan, Italy.

TL;DR: The findings from the study support a longitudinal evaluation using fetal MRI in congenital CMV infection even in cases with negative neurosonography at diagnosis, and only CMV viral load in the amniotic fluid >100,000 copies/ml was independently associated with the likelihood of detecting fetal anomalies at MRI.

TL;DR: In this paper , the detection of a lower abdomen cyst in the first trimester may be an early sign of anorectal malformations, even if it disappears during pregnancy.
