Journal ArticleDOI
An oxytocin receptor antagonist (atosiban) in the treatment of preterm labor: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with tocolytic rescue☆☆☆
Roberto Romero,Bahaeddine M Sibai,Luis Sanchez-Ramos,Guillermo Valenzuela,Jean Claude Veille,Bannie L. Tabor,Kenneth G. Perry,Michael W. Varner,T. Murphy Goodwin,Rosanne Lane,Judith A. Smith,Gary A. Shangold,George W. Creasy +12 more
TL;DR: The treatment of patients in preterm labor with atosiban resulted in prolongation of pregnancy for up to 7 days for those at a gestational age > or =28 weeks, and this occurred with a low rate of maternal-fetal adverse effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimentally induced intrauterine infection causes fetal brain white matter lesions in rabbits
Bo Hyun Yoon,Chong Jai Kim,Roberto Romero,Jong Kwan Jun,Kyo Hoon Park,Seok Tae Choi,Je G. Chi +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a study was conducted to determine whether ascending intrauterine infection could cause brain white matter lesions in the fetal rabbit, which is a major risk factor for cerebral palsy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Divergent Trophoblast Responses to Bacterial Products Mediated by TLRs
Vikki M. Abrahams,Paulomi Bole-Aldo,Yeon Mee Kim,Shawn L. Straszewski-Chavez,Tinnakorn Chaiworapongsa,Roberto Romero,Gil Mor +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that certain intrauterine infections may directly induce trophoblast cell death through TLR-2, a novel mechanism of pathogenesis for certain pregnancy complications in which there is engagement of the innate immune system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrasonographic examination of the uterine cervix is better than cervical digital examination as a predictor of the likelihood of premature delivery in patients with preterm labor and intact membranes.
Ricardo Gomez,Maurizio Galasso,Roberto Romero,Moshe Mazor,Yoram Sorokin,Luís F. Gonçalves,Marjorie C. Treadwell +6 more
TL;DR: Endovaginal ultrasonographic examination of the uterine cervix is more accurate than digitalexamination of the cervix in the assessment of the risk for preterm delivery in patients with preterm labor and intact membranes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Failure of physiologic transformation of the spiral arteries in the placental bed in preterm premature rupture of membranes
Yeon Mee Kim,Tinnakorn Chaiworapongsa,Ricardo Gomez,Emmanuel Bujold,Bo Hyun Yoon,Siegfried Rotmensch,Howard T. Thaler,Roberto Romero +7 more
TL;DR: A cross-sectional study was designed to examine the histopathologic findings in the placental bed and placenta of patients with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PROM), preeclampsia, and normal women at term.
