Background: Leptin, a protein predominantly produced by adipocytes, plays crucial role in regulating energy balance, inflammation, immunity, and fetal growth. During pregnancy, maternal serum leptin levels increase, peaking the second trimester, with placental production contributing to this rise. Leptin has also been identified tissues, its concentration umbilical cord blood correlates birth weight. This study aimed evaluate concentrations rural Burundian women living marginal nutritional...
Placenta accreta (PA) is a condition where the placenta pathologically adherent to uterus due defect in basal decidua with myometrium invasion by chorionic villi and classified based on depth of myometrial histology. However, ultrasound magnetic resonance imaging have excellent accuracy. In this study, we investigated clinical benefits early instrumental diagnosis PA, especially reducing maternal-fetal complications improving perinatal outcomes. We also evaluated diagnostic accuracy...
Background: Pathophysiology of placental syndromes is still unclear, and umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) might play a role in the development these syndromes. In this prospective cohort study, we evaluated proliferative abilities two types UC-MSCs, Wharton’s Jelly MSCs (WJ-MSCs) cord blood (CB-MSCs), Methods: A total 16 samples were seeded cultured until MSC growth potential exhaustion. Cumulative population doublings employed for studying potential, flow cytometry...
Objective: To evaluate gynaecological features of a group transfusion dependent beta-thalassemic women and to analyze their reproductive function with the morpho-functional genital female tract. Materials Methods: Cross-sectional study in University Hospital Tertiary Care Center. Fifty-nine transfusion-dependent age, were divided into two groups: A assigned spontaneous menarche (n=44), while B allocated patients inducted menarche. Data on demographic characteristics, iron overload liver...
