TL;DR: Visfatin is a physiologic constituent of AF and the concentration of AF visfatin increases with advancing gestational age, suggesting that visFatin participates in the host response against infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: MIAC is detected by PCR in some patients with an SGA fetus who were not in labor at the time of AF collection, and intra-amniotic inflammation was detected in one of the three patients with a positive PCR result, as compared with two patients with both a negative culture and a negative PCR result.

TL;DR: In this paper, a cross-sectional study was conducted to determine whether eclampsia has a different circulating profile of angiogenic (placental growth factor [PlGF]) and antiangiogenic factors (soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1 [sVEGFR-1] and soluble endoglin [sEng]) from severe preeclampsias.
