Paula Correa,Pía Venegas,Yasna Palmeiro,Daniela Albers,Gregory E. Rice,Gregory E. Rice,Jaime Roa,Jorge Cortez,Max Monckeberg,Manuel Schepeler,Eduardo Osorio,Sebastian E. Illanes,Sebastian E. Illanes +12 more
TL;DR: Women who subsequently developed GDM showed higher levels of blood-borne biomarkers during the first trimester, compared to women who did not develop GDM, and warrant validation in a larger cohort.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patients with acute cervical insufficiency without intra-amniotic infection/inflammation treated with cerclage have a good prognosis.

TL;DR: The pregnancy outcomes of patients with midtrimester cervical insufficiency and bulging membranes are poor as they have a high prevalence of intra-amniotic infection/inflammation, and a pre-operative amniocentesis is key to identify the best candidates for the subsequent placement of a cerclage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Routine screening for SARS CoV-2 in unselected pregnant women at delivery.
Pilar Díaz-Corvillón,Max Monckeberg,Antonia Barros,Sebastian E. Illanes,Arturo Soldati,Jyh-Kae Nien,Manuel Schepeler,Javier Caradeux +7 more
TL;DR: Nearly half of pregnant patients with SARS CoV-2 were asymptomatic at the time of delivery, and universal screening, in endemic areas, is necessary for adequate patient isolation, prompt neonatal testing and targeted follow-up.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lara J. Monteiro,Manuel Varas-Godoy,Max Monckeberg,Ornella Realini,Marcela Hernández,Gregory E. Rice,Gregory E. Rice,Roberto Romero,José Saavedra,Sebastian E. Illanes,Alejandra Chaparro +10 more
TL;DR: The results provide an insight into the potential capacity of first trimester oral extracellular vesicles as early biomarkers for the prediction of gestational diabetes mellitus in pre-symptomatic women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Umbilical artery aneurysm: prenatal identification in three fetuses with trisomy 18
TL;DR: Three cases diagnosed prenatally by ultrasound in the third trimester are reported, all associated with single umbilical artery and multiple structural fetal anomalies, and trisomy 18 is revealed in all three cases.
