Journal ArticleDOI
An elevated fetal interleukin-6 concentration can be observed in fetuses with anemia due to Rh alloimmunization: implications for the understanding of the fetal inflammatory response syndrome
Edi Vaisbuch,Roberto Romero,Ricardo Gomez,Juan Pedro Kusanovic,Shali Mazaki-Tovi,Tinnakorn Chaiworapongsa,Sonia S. Hassan +6 more
TL;DR: An elevation in fetal plasma IL-6 can be observed in a subset of fetuses with anemia due to Rh alloimmunization, which suggests that the hallmark of FIRS can be caused by non-infection-related insults.
Journal ArticleDOI
Retinol-binding protein 4: a novel adipokine implicated in the genesis of LGA in the absence of gestational diabetes mellitus.
Shali Mazaki-Tovi,Roberto Romero,Edi Vaisbuch,Juan Pedro Kusanovic,Tinnakorn Chaiworapongsa,Sun Kwon Kim,Pooja Mittal,Zhong Dong,Percy Pacora,Lami Yeo,Sonia S. Hassan +10 more
TL;DR: GDM is characterized by alterations in maternal circulating RBP4 concentrations akin to those of Type 2 diabetes mellitus, which may play a role in accelerated fetal growth in the absence of overt carbohydrate intolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Juan Pedro Kusanovic,Roberto Romero,Carolina Martinovic,Karla Silva,Offer Erez,Eli Maymon,Francisco Díaz,Fernando Ferrer,Rafael Valdés,Víctor Córdova,Paula Vargas,María Elena Nilo,Patricio Le Cerf +12 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that transabdominal retrieval of “sludge” is possible and may be of significant value for patient management and selection of antimicrobial agents as well as the microbiologic detection of Candida albicans in this material.
Journal ArticleDOI

Francesca Gotsch,Roberto Romero,Jimmy Espinoza,Juan Pedro Kusanovic,Shali Mazaki-Tovi,Offer Erez,Nandor Gabor Than,Samuel Edwin,Moshe Mazor,Bo Hyan Yoon,Sonia S. Hassan +10 more
TL;DR: Pyelonephritis in pregnant women is associated with an increased maternal serum concentration of the chemokine CXCL10/IP-10, a member of the CXC chemokines family with pro-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Allergy-induced preterm labor after the ingestion of shellfish
TL;DR: This communication describes a case of a pregnant woman who had an allergic reaction and regular uterine contractions after the ingestion of lobster meat, to which she was known to be allergic.
