Journal ArticleDOI
A novel three-dimensional in vitro system to study trophoblast-endothelium cell interactions.
TL;DR: A novel in vitro model is described to evaluate endothelial–trophoblast interaction and signaling in a three‐dimensional system to evaluate trophoblast migration and transformation in a pregnancy complications situation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proteomic analysis of amniotic fluid to identify women with preterm labor and intra-amniotic inflammation/infection: the use of a novel computational method to analyze mass spectrometric profiling.
Roberto Romero,Jimmy Espinoza,Wade T. Rogers,Allan Robert Moser,Jyh Kae Nien,Juan Pedro Kusanovic,Francesca Gotsch,Offer Erez,Ricardo Gomez,Sam Edwin,Sonia S. Hassan +10 more
TL;DR: Proteomic analysis of amniotic fluid allowed the identification of mass spectrometry features, which can distinguish patients with preterm labor with IAI from those with pre term labor without inflammation or infection who subsequently delivered at term.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of a gene in Mycoplasma hominis associated with preterm birth and microbial burden in intraamniotic infection.
Matthew Josiah Allen-Daniels,Myrna G. Serrano,Lindsey P. Pflugner,Jennifer M. Fettweis,Melissa A. Prestosa,Vishal N. Koparde,J. Paul Brooks,Jerome F. Strauss,Roberto Romero,Tinnakorn Chaiworapongsa,David A. Eschenbach,Gregory A. Buck,Kimberly K. Jefferson +12 more
TL;DR: A gene in M hominis was identified that is associated significantly with colonization and/or infection of the upper reproductive tract during pregnancy and with preterm birth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of rapid MMP-8 and interleukin-6 point-of-care tests to identify intra-amniotic inflammation/infection and impending preterm delivery in patients with preterm labor and intact membranes*
Piya Chaemsaithong,Roberto Romero,Nikolina Docheva,Noppadol Chaiyasit,Gaurav Bhatti,Percy Pacora,Sonia S. Hassan,Lami Yeo,Offer Erez +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the rapid MMP-8 test has a better specificity than the rapid IL-6 (cutoff: 745 pg/mL) assay for the detection of intra-amniotic infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
The value of serial human chorionic gonadotropin testing as a diagnostic tool in ectopic pregnancy.
Roberto Romero,Nicholas Kadar,Joshua A. Copel,Philippe Jeanty,Alan H. DeCherney,John C. Hobbins +5 more
TL;DR: The sensitivity of an abnormal slope (below 0.11) in the detection of ectopic pregnancy was 90%.
