Journal Article
Infection of the amniotic cavity with Ureaplasma urealyticum in the midtrimester of pregnancy.
TL;DR: It is concluded that infection of the amniotic cavity with U urealyticum can be present in asymptomatic patients in the midtrimester of pregnancy and is a significant risk factor for spontaneous preterm labor and delivery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Late-onset preeclampsia is associated with an imbalance of angiogenic and anti-angiogenic factors in patients with and without placental lesions consistent with maternal underperfusion
Eleazar Soto,Roberto Romero,Juan Pedro Kusanovic,Giovanna Ogge,Youssef Hussein,Lami Yeo,Sonia S. Hassan,Chong Jai Kim,Tinnakorn Chaiworapongsa +8 more
TL;DR: Nearly half of the patients with late-onset PE have placental lesions consistent with maternal underperfusion, which are associated with an imbalance in the maternal concentration of angiogenic/anti-angiogenic factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The tumor necrosis factor α and its soluble receptor profile in term and preterm parturition
TL;DR: Observations provide support for the thesis that preterm parturition is a pathologic condition and increased tumor necrosis factor α soluble receptor concentrations may attenuate the deleterious effects of the excess of tumor necrot factor α found in pathologic labor.
Journal ArticleDOI
An elevated amniotic fluid matrix metalloproteinase-8 level at the time of mid-trimester genetic amniocentesis is a risk factor for spontaneous preterm delivery.
Bo Hyun Yoon,Soo-Young Oh,Roberto Romero,Soon-Sup Shim,Soo-Yeon Han,Joong Shin Park,Jong Kwan Jun +6 more
TL;DR: Elevated mid-trimester concentrations of amniotic fluid matrix metalloproteinase-8, and cytokines such as interleukin-6 and angiogenin can identify patients at risk for spontaneous preterm delivery in patients undergoing mid- Trimester amniocentesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maternal plasma concentrations of angiogenic/antiangiogenic factors in the third trimester of pregnancy to identify the patient at risk for stillbirth at or near term and severe late preeclampsia

TL;DR: Risk assessment for stillbirth and severe late preeclampsia in the third trimester is possible with the determination of maternal plasma concentrations of angiogenic and antiangiogenic factors at 30-34 weeks of gestation.
