Preeclampsia (PE), a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, is leading cause maternal and fetal morbidity mortality. Although the etiology unknown, PE thought to be caused by defective implantation decidualization in pregnancy. Pregnant blood pressure high (BPH)/5 mice spontaneously develop placentopathies features human PE. We hypothesized that BPH/5 sites have transcriptomic alterations. Next-generation RNA sequencing at peak decidualization, embryonic day (E)7.5, revealed complement gene...

Objective: The objective of this study was to characterize risk for and temporal trends in postpartum hemorrhage across hospitals with different delivery volumes.Study design: This used the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) from 1998 2011. Hospitals were classified as having either low, moderate or high volume (≤1000, 1001 2000, >2000 deliveries per year, respectively). primary outcomes included hemorrhage, transfusion, related severe maternal morbidity.

In the first trimester of human pregnancy, low oxygen tension or hypoxia is essential for proper placentation and placenta function. Low levels activation signaling pathways have been implicated as critical mediators in promotion trophoblast differentiation, migration, invasion with inappropriate changes aberrant Notch both individually reported causative to abnormal placentation. Despite crosstalk between multiple cell types, relationship function not understood. To determine how a...

With the goal of identifying factors contributing to severe maternal morbidity (SMM) at our institution, we established a formal SMM review process. We performed retrospective cohort study including all cases as defined by American College Obstetricians and Gynecologists Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine consensus criteria that were managed Yale-New Haven Hospital over 4-year period. Overall, 156 reviewed. The rate was 0.49% (95% CI 0.40-0.58). leading causes hemorrhage (44.9%)...

INTRODUCTION: Activity restriction or “bed rest” is a commonly prescribed obstetric intervention, which lacks data demonstrating efficacy. Complications including bone demineralization, pulmonary atelectasis, venous thromboembolism, and muscle deconditioning have been attributed to bed rest. Exercise has known beneficial effect toward achieving good glycemic control in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). We sought quantitate the that rest on GDM. METHODS: performed retrospective...

Prelabor rupture of the membranes (PROM) near limit viability is associated with significant risks for both mother and fetus. Preterm labor, intra-amniotic infection, placental abruption are immediate to pregnancy; however, fetus incurs additional related sequela persistent oligohydramnios. Transabdominal infusions have been studied. Results, suggesting that this intervention may prolong latency period, potentially, decrease pulmonary hypoplasia in surviving neonates without evidence...
