TL;DR: Comparison of the efficacy and safety of atosiban with those of placebo maintenance therapy in women with preterm labor who achieved uterine quiescence with intravenous atosban showed that maintenance therapy with the oxytocin receptor antagonist atOSiban can prolong uterineQuiescence after successful treatment of an acute episode of preterm Labor.

TL;DR: To evaluate cervical stiffness during pregnancy using ultrasound‐derived elastography, a method used to estimate the average tissue displacement (strain) within a defined region of interest when oscillatory compression is applied.

TL;DR: A patient with a large cborioangioma was referred to the authors' institution, with a fetus that was hydropic and showed sonograpbic signs of overt heart failure, and ablation of the blood supply of placental chorioangiomas as a potential management alternative was performed.

TL;DR: Findings suggest that trophoblast cells are able to recognize and specifically respond to viral products in a highly regulated fashion and that the placenta may be pivotal in the control of viral infections at the maternal-fetal interface.

TL;DR: Most placentas had lesions consistent with inflammatory or vascular lesions, but severe and/or high-burden lesions were infrequent, and Mild placental lesions may be interpreted as acute changes associated with parturition or as representative of a subclinical pathological process that did not affect the clinical course of pregnancy.
