Journal ArticleDOI
Nifedipine in the management of preterm labor: a systematic review and metaanalysis
Agustin Conde-Agudelo,Roberto Romero,Roberto Romero,Juan Pedro Kusanovic,Juan Pedro Kusanovic +4 more
TL;DR: Nifedipine is superior to β₂-adrenergic-receptor agonists and magnesium sulfate for tocolysis in women with preterm labor and is associated with significantly fewer maternal adverse events.
Journal ArticleDOI
The preterm parturition syndrome and its implications for understanding the biology, risk assessment, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of preterm birth.
Francesca Gotsch,Roberto Romero,Offer Erez,Edi Vaisbuch,Juan Pedro Kusanovic,Shali Mazaki-Tovi,Sun Kwon Kim,Sonia S. Hassan,Lami Yeo +8 more
TL;DR: The syndromic nature of spontaneous labour was a concept first proposed in 1994 and this article outlines the potential flaws in this concept, which it is believed has halted progress in the prevention of pre term birth and in the treatment of preterm labour.
Journal ArticleDOI
Midtrimester amniotic fluid concentrations of interleukin-6 and interferon-gamma-inducible protein-10: evidence for heterogeneity of intra-amniotic inflammation and associations with spontaneous early ( 32 weeks) preterm delivery.
Maria Teresa Gervasi,Roberto Romero,Gabriella Bracalente,Offer Erez,Zhong Dong,Sonia S. Hassan,Lami Yeo,Bo Hyun Yoon,Tinnakorn Chaiworapongsa +8 more
TL;DR: Although each type of inflammation is a risk factor for spontaneous preterm delivery, many patients had a term delivery without complication; and the amniotic fluid in the midtrimester did not contain microorganisms detectable with cultivation techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
An M1-like Macrophage Polarization in Decidual Tissue during Spontaneous Preterm Labor That Is Attenuated by Rosiglitazone Treatment.
Yi Xu,Roberto Romero,Derek Miller,Leena Kadam,Tara N. Mial,Tara N. Mial,Olesya Plazyo,Valeria Garcia-Flores,Valeria Garcia-Flores,Sonia S. Hassan,Sonia S. Hassan,Zhonghui Xu,Zhonghui Xu,Adi L. Tarca,Adi L. Tarca,Sascha Drewlo,Nardhy Gomez-Lopez,Nardhy Gomez-Lopez +17 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that decidual M1-like macrophages are associated with spontaneous preterm labor and that PPARγ activation via RSG can attenuate the macrophage-mediated proinflammatory response, preventing preterm birth and improving neonatal outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maternal blood C-reactive protein, white blood cell count, and temperature in preterm labor: a comparison with amniotic fluid white blood cell count.
TL;DR: An elevated C-reactive protein, WBC, or AF WBC identified patients with intrauterine infection and adverse perinatal outcomes as well as patients with acute histologic chorioamnionitis.
