Journal ArticleDOI
A longitudinal study of fetal weight growth.
TL;DR: In a longitudinal study of fetal growth, the authors attempted to provide normal values for estimating fetal weights at various gestational ages.
Journal ArticleDOI

Guadalupe Estrada-Gutierrez,Renato E. Cappello,Nikita Mishra,Roberto Romero,Roberto Romero,Jerome F. Strauss,Scott W. Walsh +6 more
TL;DR: A novel role for MMP-1 is disclosed as a mediator of vasoconstriction and vascular dysfunction in preeclampsia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rachel J. A. Helliwell,Jeffrey Keelan,K.W. Marvin,Linda Adams,Maxwell C. Chang,Ashmit Anand,Timothy A. Sato,Simon J. O'Carroll,Tinnakorn Chaiworapongsa,Roberto Romero,Murray D. Mitchell +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, a complete pathway for the biosynthesis and actions of prostaglandin (PGD2 and its metabolites within human gestational tissues was provided, which demonstrated the dynamic regulation of H-type PGD synthase (PGDS) in placenta during gestation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of different human chorionic gonadotropin assay sensitivity on screening for ectopic pregnancy.
Roberto Romero,Nicholas Kadar,Joshua A. Copel,Philippe Jeanty,Alan H. DeCherney,John C. Hobbins +5 more
TL;DR: Pregnancy blood tests with a detection threshold of 200 mIU/ml were associated with an 11.9% incidence of false negative results, and changing the sensitivity of human chorionic gonadotropin testing on the incidence offalse negative results was discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prenatal diagnosis of sirenomelus with color Doppler ultrasonography
Waldo Sepulveda,Roberto Romero,Peter G. Pryde,Honor M. Wolfe,Jeanne R. Addis,David B. Cotton +5 more
TL;DR: A case of sirenomelus is presented in which prenatal diagnosis was aided by color Doppler ultrasonography; visualization of the vitelline artery as a single, large intraabdominal vessel that did not branch in the fetal pelvis but rather coursed ventrally into the umbilical cord proved to be diagnostic of this rare condition.
