Journal ArticleDOI
Human β‐defensin‐1: A natural antimicrobial peptide present in amniotic fluid that is increased in spontaneous preterm labor with intra‐amniotic infection
Aneesha Varrey,Aneesha Varrey,Roberto Romero,Bogdan Panaitescu,Bogdan Panaitescu,Derek Miller,Derek Miller,Tinnakorn Chaiworapongsa,Tinnakorn Chaiworapongsa,Manasi Patwardhan,Jonathan Faro,Jonathan Faro,Percy Pacora,Percy Pacora,Sonia S. Hassan,Sonia S. Hassan,Chaur-Dong Hsu,Nardhy Gomez-Lopez,Nardhy Gomez-Lopez +18 more
TL;DR: Whether HBD‐1 was present in amniotic fluid during normal pregnancy and whether its concentrations change with intra‐amniotic inflammation and/or infection is determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cervical pessary to prevent preterm birth in asymptomatic high-risk women: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
TL;DR: Current evidence does not support the use of cervical pessary to prevent preterm birth or improve perinatal outcomes in singleton or twin gestations with a short cervix and in unselected twingestations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of the myometrial transcriptome in women with an arrest of dilatation during labor
Piya Chaemsaithong,Ichchha Madan,Roberto Romero,Nandor Gabor Than,Adi L. Tarca,Sorin Draghici,Gaurav Bhatti,Lami Yeo,Moshe Mazor,Chong Jai Kim,Sonia S. Hassan,Tinnakorn Chaiworapongsa +11 more
TL;DR: The myometrium of women with AODIL has a stereotypic transcriptome profile associated with a pattern of gene expression involved in muscle contraction, an inflammatory response, and hypoxia.
Journal ArticleDOI
The cytokine network in women with an asymptomatic short cervix and the risk of preterm delivery.
Adi L. Tarca,Wendy Fitzgerald,Piya Chaemsaithong,Zhonghui Xu,Sonia S. Hassan,Jean-Charles Grivel,Nardhy Gomez-Lopez,Bogdan Panaitescu,Percy Pacora,Eli Maymon,Offer Erez,Leonid Margolis,Roberto Romero +12 more
TL;DR: To characterize the amniotic fluid (AF) inflammatory‐related protein (IRP) network in patients with a sonographic short cervix and to determine its relation to early preterm delivery (ePTD).
Journal ArticleDOI
Targeted expression profiling by RNA-Seq improves detection of cellular dynamics during pregnancy and identifies a role for T cells in term parturition

TL;DR: Sequencing-based techniques are more suitable to quantify whole-blood gene expression compared to microarrays, as they have an expanded dynamic range and identify more true positives.
