TL;DR: Oligohydramnios in women with preterm premature rupture of membranes is associated with an inflammatory response in the fetal, amniotic, and maternal compartments.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted a study to describe characteristics of women who terminated their pregnancies secondary to hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) and found that the most prominent reasons given for the terminations were inability to care for the family and self (66.7%), fear that they or their baby could die (51.2%), or that the baby would be abnormal (22.0%), these same women were three times as likely to state that their health care providers were uncaring or did not understand how sick they were.

TL;DR: Evidence suggests that inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome or its downstream mediators may foster the development of novel anti-inflammatory therapies for the prevention or treatment of pregnancy complications.

TL;DR: This study was conducted to compare the DNA methylome of maternal and fetal monocytes, dMφ, and HC and thereby to determine the immunobiological importance of DNA methylation in pregnancy.

TL;DR: The meta-analysis suggests that this phenomenon may enable the potential use of PP13 in directing patient management near to or at the time of delivery, and suggests its therapeutic potential in preeclampsia.
