Maternal Diseases Complicating Pregnancy: Diabetes, Tumors, Preeclampsia, Lupus Anticoagulant

TL;DR: A better understanding of the placenta could allow us better insight into the mechanisms of the effects that certain conditions have on the fetus, as well as aid in the diagnosis and knowledge of the pathogenesis of these conditions.

Detrimental Effects of Ethanol and Its Metabolite Acetaldehyde, on First Trimester Human Placental Cell Turnover and Function

Ethanol increases uterine blood flow and fetal arterial blood oxygen tension in the near-term pregnant ewe

TL;DR: Overall, these findings indicate that fetal hypoxia is not a mechanism of ethanol teratogenesis.
