TL;DR: To determine the clinical significance of the presence of amniotic fluid (AF) ‘sludge’ among asymptomatic patients at high risk for spontaneous preterm delivery, a large number of patients are surveyed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three‐dimensional ultrasound fetal lung volume measurement: a systematic study comparing the multiplanar method with the rotational (VOCAL) technique
K.D. Kalache,Jimmy Espinoza,Tinnakorn Chaiworapongsa,J. Londono,M. L. Schoen,Marjorie C. Treadwell,Wesley Lee,Roberto Romero +7 more
TL;DR: This study was designed to compare a conventional multiplanar technique for three‐dimensional ultrasound measurement of fetal lung volume with a rotational method using VOCAL™ (Virtual Organ Computer‐aided AnaLysis).
Journal ArticleDOI
A Signature of Maternal Anti-Fetal Rejection in Spontaneous Preterm Birth: Chronic Chorioamnionitis, Anti-Human Leukocyte Antigen Antibodies, and C4d
JoonHo Lee,Roberto Romero,Roberto Romero,Yi Xu,Jung Sun Kim,Vanessa Topping,Wonsuk Yoo,Juan Pedro Kusanovic,Juan Pedro Kusanovic,Tinnakorn Chaiworapongsa,Tinnakorn Chaiworapongsa,Sonia S. Hassan,Sonia S. Hassan,Bo Hyun Yoon,Chong Jai Kim,Chong Jai Kim +15 more
TL;DR: A major subset of spontaneous preterm births has a signature of maternal anti-fetal cellular and antibody-mediated rejections with links to fetal graft-versus-host disease and alloimmune reactions.
