To determine whether disease remission or low activity state at the beginning of pregnancy in SLE patients is associated with better outcome.Pregnancies prospectively monitored by clinics four rheumatology centres were enrolled. Patient demographics and clinical information collected baseline (pregnancy visit before 8 weeks gestation) including according to Definition Remission (DORIS) criteria and/or Lupus Low Disease Activity State (LLDAS).

Recent reports suggest that maternal serum levels of pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) may predict perinatal outcome. PAPP-A is a syncytiotrophoblast derived protease for insulin-like growth factor binding (IGFBP4); its activity cleaves complexed increasing I (IGF-I) bioavailability. The aim our study was to evaluate the correlation between and neonatal growth. We analysed 100 full term preterm (30 - 36 weeks) small gestational age (SGA) adequate (AGA) babies whose mothers had...

Abstract Absent pulmonary valve syndrome is a rare congenital heart disease characterized by absent or rudimentary leaflets and hypoplastic annulus. The most common variant, associated with tetralogy of Fallot, implies dilatation branches usually ductus arteriosus. Rarely, occurs intact ventricular septum: are normally sized mildly dilated arteriosus patent. rarest type septum tricuspid atresia. A close connection has been raised between regurgitation development valve. We describe case...
