Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple roles for heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor are suggested by its cell-specific expression during the human endometrial cycle and early placentation.

TL;DR: It is suggested that HB-EGF promotes implantation and trophoblast invasion through paracrine and autocrine signaling as cells penetrate the stroma and displace the arteriole endothelium.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This study evaluated the neuroprotective efficacy of a scavenging agent, N‐acetylcysteine (NAC), in a clinically relevant model of maternal inflammation/infection alone or in combination with birth asphyxia.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This research highlights the need to understand more fully the immune response to Parvovirus B19 in women during pregnancy and how this infection affects the immune system during pregnancy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Viral Infection of the Pregnant Cervix Predisposes to Ascending Bacterial Infection
Karen Racicot,Ingrid Cardenas,Vera Wünsche,Paulomi Aldo,Seth Guller,Robert E. Means,Roberto Romero,Gil Mor +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that preterm labor is a polymicrobial disease, which requires a multifactorial approach for its prevention and treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
First-trimester maternal serum PP13 in the risk assessment for preeclampsia

TL;DR: Maternal serum first-trimester PP13 appears to be a reasonable marker for risk assessment for preterm preeclampsia but a weak marker for severe preeclampia at term, and ineffective for identifying mild preeclamping at term.
