TL;DR: Findings point to a defect in the normal interaction between migratory trophoblast and maternal uterine tissues in pre‐eclampsia and in SGA, a feature not seen beyond the second trimester in normal pregnancy.

TL;DR: An examination of the maternal vascular response to placentation shows that physiological changes in the placental bed normally extend from the decidua into the inner myometrium, pointing to a defect in the normal interaction between migratory trophoblast and maternal uterine tissues in pre-eclampsia and in SGA.

TL;DR: Preliminary results strongly support the concept that miscarriages and pregnancies complicated by pre‐eclampsia and/or small‐for‐gestational‐age infants may be a continuum of disorders with a similar pathology in the placental bed.

TL;DR: The concept that miscarriages and pregnancies complicated by pre-eclampsia and/or small-for-gestational-age infants may be a continuum of disorders with a similar pathology in the placental bed is strongly supported.

TL;DR: In all cases the diagnosis of listerial infection was apparent only after the birth of the fetus or new born, and often antecedent maternal prodromal illness preceded expulsion of a macerated fetus making early diagnosis difficult.
