After reports of microcephaly and other adverse pregnancy outcomes in infants mothers infected with Zika virus during pregnancy, CDC issued a travel alert on January 15, 2016, advising pregnant women to consider postponing areas active transmission virus. On 19, released interim guidelines for U.S. health care providers caring an affected area, update was February 5. As 17, had received nine travelers laboratory-confirmed disease; 10 additional disease among are currently under...
CDC has updated its interim guidance for U.S. health care providers caring pregnant women with possible Zika virus exposure, to include the emerging data indicating that RNA can be detected prolonged periods in some women. To increase proportion of infection who receive a definitive diagnosis, recommends expanding real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) testing. Possible exposures travel or residence an area active transmission, sex* partner traveled resides...
Zika virus transmission was detected in the Region of Americas (Americas) Brazil May 2015, and as March 21, 2016, local mosquito-borne had been reported 32 countries territories Americas, including Puerto Rico U.S. Virgin Islands.* Most persons infected with have a mild illness or are asymptomatic. However, increasing evidence supports link between infection during pregnancy adverse birth outcomes (1), possible association recent Guillain-Barré syndrome has (2). Although is primarily...
To evaluate antepartum anemia prevalence by race and ethnicity, to assess whether such differences contribute severe maternal morbidity (SMM), estimate the contribution of SMM nontransfusion ethnicity.We conducted a population-based cohort study using linked vital record birth hospitalization data for singleton births at or after 20 weeks gestation in California from 2011 through 2020. Pregnant patients with hereditary anemias, out-of-hospital births, unlinked records, missing variables...
Contact between bone marrow (BM) hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and osteoblast/stromal (OS) has been shown to be crucial in the regulation of hematopoiesis. However, very little is known about regulatory mechanisms direct cell-to-cell communication microenvironment. Gap junction channels (connexons) are formed by polypeptides (connexins) arranged hexamers represent best described intercellular system. Connexin-43 (Cx43) expressed BM OS associated with cadherin/β -catenin signaling pathway,...
Rupture of membranes (ROM) before the onset uterine contractions, particularly in pregnancies less than 37 weeks gestational age, is a common diagnostic problem obstetrical practice. Timely detection ROM vital to support age-specific interventions optimize perinatal outcomes and minimize risk serious complications such as preterm delivery, fetal distress maternal/fetal infections. Rapid bedside immunoassay tests designed detect amniotic fluid proteins cervicovaginal fluids have emerged...
Persistent racial and ethnic disparities exist in severe maternal neonatal morbidity, which may be due part to differences labor delivery unit practices across hospitals. We used data collected from 184 hospitals California (2015-2018) assess whether nulliparous individuals with low-risk pregnancies differ by race ethnicity giving birth at that tend use lower-interventional practices, such contribute morbidity. classified units as higher- or based on a latent class analysis of survey...
