Visfatin in human pregnancy: maternal gestational diabetes vis-à-vis neonatal birthweight
Shali Mazaki-Tovi,Roberto Romero,Juan Pedro Kusanovic,Edi Vaisbuch,Offer Erez,Nandor Gabor Than,Tinnakorn Chaiworapongsa,Chia Ling Nhan-Chang,Percy Pacora,Francesca Gotsch,Lami Yeo,Sun Kwon Kim,Samuel S. Edwin,Sonia S. Hassan,Pooja Mittal +14 more
TL;DR: The linkage between increased maternal circulating visfatin and the presence of GDM or delivery of an LGA neonate supports the hypothesis that perturbation of adipokines homeostasis may play a role in the pathophysiology of G DM or excess fetal growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Leukocytes of pregnant women with small-for-gestational age neonates have a different phenotypic and metabolic activity from those of women with preeclampsia
Giovanna Ogge,Roberto Romero,Tinnakorn Chaiworapongsa,Maria Teresa Gervasi,Percy Pacora,Offer Erez,Juan Pedro Kusanovic,Edi Vaisbuch,Shali Mazaki-Tovi,Francesca Gotsch,Pooja Mittal,Yeon Mee Kim,Sonia S. Hassan +12 more
TL;DR: Pregnancies complicated by the delivery of an SGA neonate are characterized by a higher activation of maternal peripheral leukocytes than in normal pregnancies, but lower than in pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of Anti-HLA antibodies in maternal blood in the second trimester to identify patients at risk of antibody-mediated maternal anti-fetal rejection and spontaneous preterm delivery

TL;DR: Whether the presence of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) panel‐reactive antibodies (PRA) during the second trimester increases the risk of spontaneous preterm delivery is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Peripheral CD300a+CD8+ T lymphocytes with a distinct cytotoxic molecular signature increase in pregnant women with chronic chorioamnionitis is observed.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A rapid test is now available for the diagnosis of intra-amniotic inflammation, based on the determination of neutrophil collagenase or matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8), which had a significantly higher specificity than the ELISA interleukin (IL)-6 test for patients with clinical chorioamnionitis at term.
