Three-dimensional sonography of placental mesenchymal dysplasia and its differential diagnosis.
Edi Vaisbuch,Roberto Romero,Roberto Romero,Juan Pedro Kusanovic,Juan Pedro Kusanovic,Offer Erez,Offer Erez,Shali Mazaki-Tovi,Shali Mazaki-Tovi,Francesca Gotsch,Chong Jai Kim,Chong Jai Kim,Jung Sun Kim,Jung Sun Kim,Lami Yeo,Lami Yeo,Sonia S. Hassan,Sonia S. Hassan +17 more
TL;DR: Placental mesenchymal dysplasia should be considered in the differential diagnosis of every placental mass, especially in cases of multicystic placental lesion with lack of high‐velocity signals inside the lesion, and a normal karyotype.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pentraxin 3 in amniotic fluid: a novel association with intra-amniotic infection and inflammation
Laura Cruciani,Roberto Romero,Edi Vaisbuch,Juan Pedro Kusanovic,Tinnakorn Chaiworapongsa,Shali Mazaki-Tovi,Pooja Mittal,Giovanna Ogge,Francesca Gotsch,Offer Erez,Sun Kwon Kim,Zhong Dong,Percy Pacora,Ronald F. Lamont,Lami Yeo,Sonia S. Hassan,Gian Carlo Di Renzo +16 more
TL;DR: PTX3 is a physiologic constituent of the AF, and its median concentration is elevated in the presence of IAI, suggesting that PTX3 may play a role in the innate immune response against IAI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Placental growth hormone is increased in the maternal and fetal serum of patients with preeclampsia
Pooja Mittal,Jimmy Espinoza,Sonia S. Hassan,Juan Pedro Kusanovic,Samuel Edwin,Jyh Kae Nien,Francesca Gotsch,Nandor Gabor Than,Offer Erez,Shali Mazaki-Tovi,Roberto Romero +10 more
TL;DR: The observations reported herein are novel and suggest that PGH may play a role in the mechanisms of disease in preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adiponectin multimers in maternal plasma.
Shali Mazaki-Tovi,Roberto Romero,Juan Pedro Kusanovic,Offer Erez,Edi Vaisbuch,Francesca Gotsch,Pooja Mittal,Gabor Than,Chia Ling Nhan-Chang,Tinnakorn Chaiworapongsa,Samuel S. Edwin,Natalia Camacho,Jyh Kae Nien,Sonia S. Hassan +13 more
TL;DR: Maternal HMW was the most prevalent adiponectin multimer regardless of gestational age or BMI status and there were no significant differences in the median concentration of total, MMW, and LMW adip onectin and their relative distribution with advancing gestation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A role for CXCL13 (BCA-1) in pregnancy and intra-amniotic infection/inflammation
Chia Ling Nhan-Chang,Roberto Romero,Juan Pedro Kusanovic,Francesca Gotsch,Samuel Edwin,Offer Erez,Pooja Mittal,Chong Jai Kim,Mi-Jeong Kim,Jimmy Espinoza,Lara A. Friel,Edi Vaisbuch,Nandor Gabor Than,Shali Mazaki-Tovi,Sonia S. Hassan +14 more
TL;DR: Whether CXCL13 is present in maternal serum, umbilical cord blood, and amniotic fluid, and to determine if AF concentration changes with intra-amniotic infection/inflammation (IAI); and to localize the production of CXCl13 in chorioamniotic membranes and umbILical cord.
