To determine whether there is a relationship between the presence of histological signs inflammation in extraplacental membranes and umbilical cord concentrations fetal plasma interleukin-6 (IL-6).The study examined cohort patients who were admitted with preterm labor or premature rupture (PROM) underwent cordocentesis. Inclusion criteria included available for IL-6 determination, examination placenta, delivery within 48 h procedure. This last criterion was used to preserve meaningful...
Objective: The objectives of this study were to: (1) determine the amniotic fluid (AF) microbiology patients with preterm prelabor rupture membranes (PROM); and (2) examine relationship between intra-amniotic inflammation without microorganisms (sterile inflammation) adverse pregnancy outcomes in PROM.
Abstract The objectives of this study were: 1) to determine the amniotic fluid (AF) microbiology patients with diagnosis clinical chorioamnionitis at term using both cultivation and molecular techniques; 2) examine relationship between intra-amniotic inflammation without microorganisms placental lesions consistent acute AF infection. samples obtained by transabdominal amniocentesis from 46 women signs were analyzed techniques (for aerobic anerobic bacteria as well genital mycoplasmas)...
Problem The diagnosis of microbial invasion the amniotic cavity (MIAC) has been traditionally performed using traditional cultivation techniques, which require growth microorganisms in laboratory. Shortcomings culture methods include time required (days) for identification microorganisms, and that many microbes involved genesis human diseases are difficult to culture. A novel technique combines broad‐range real‐time polymerase chain reaction with electrospray ionization time‐of‐flight mass...
To determine the frequency and clinical significance of sterile microbial-associated intra-amniotic inflammation in asymptomatic patients with a sonographic short cervix.
The fetus can deploy a local or systemic inflammatory response when exposed to microorganisms or, alternatively, non-infection-related stimuli (e.g., danger signals alarmins). term "Fetal Inflammatory Response Syndrome" (FIRS) was coined describe condition characterized by evidence of response, frequently result the activation innate limb immune response. FIRS be diagnosed an increased concentration umbilical cord plasma serum acute phase reactants such as C-reactive protein cytokines...
Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability blonanserin for treatment Korean patients with schizophrenia using a double-blind risperidone-compared design. Methods: Patients aged 18 65 years were randomly assigned or risperidone 8 weeks. assessed mean change in Positive Negative Syndrome Scale score total scores from baseline week 8. Safety assessments included monitoring vital signs, physical examination, laboratory tests, adverse events. Results: Of...
Cerebral palsy is a serious motor disorder that appears in early life. The expectation improved obstetrical and neonatal care would decrease the rate of this condition has not been realised. Recent evidence indicates white matter brain lesions, often termed periventricular leukomalacia (PVL), are most important identifiable risk factors for development cerebral palsy. hypothesis under examination inflammatory cytokines released during course intrauterine infection play central role genesis...
