Journal ArticleDOI
The role of inflammation and infection in preterm birth.
Roberto Romero,Jimmy Espinoza,Jimmy Espinoza,Luís F. Gonçalves,Luís F. Gonçalves,Juan Pedro Kusanovic,Lara A. Friel,Sonia S. Hassan,Sonia S. Hassan +8 more
TL;DR: The role of inflammation in preterm and term parturition is reviewed, which is the only pathological process for which both a firm causal link with preterm birth and a molecular pathophysiology defined are established.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
Pre-eclampsia part 1: current understanding of its pathophysiology
TL;DR: The diagnosis, classification, clinical manifestations and putative pathogenetic mechanisms of pre-eclampsia are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amniotic fluid inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-6, interleukin-1β, and tumor necrosis factor-α), neonatal brain white matter lesions, and cerebral palsy
Bo Hyun Yoon,Jong Kwan Jun,Roberto Romero,Kyo Hoon Park,Ricardo Gomez,Jung Hwan Choi,In-One Kim +6 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that inflammatory cytokines released during the course of intrauterine infection play a role in the genesis of brain white matter lesions is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial Prevalence, Diversity and Abundance in Amniotic Fluid During Preterm Labor: A Molecular and Culture-Based Investigation
Daniel B. DiGiulio,Daniel B. DiGiulio,Roberto Romero,Roberto Romero,Harold P. Amogan,Juan Pedro Kusanovic,Juan Pedro Kusanovic,Elisabeth M. Bik,Elisabeth M. Bik,Francesca Gotsch,Chong Jai Kim,Chong Jai Kim,Offer Erez,Offer Erez,Sam Edwin,David A. Relman,David A. Relman +16 more
TL;DR: The amniotic cavity of women in preterm labor harbors DNA from a greater diversity of microbes than previously suspected, including as-yet uncultivated, previously-uncharacterized taxa.
