COMPARISON OF EQUINE BONE MARROW-, UMBILICAL CORD MATRIX-, AMNIOTIC FLUID- AND TENDON-DERIVED PROGENITOR CELLS
… population within both umbilical cord matrix and amniotic fluid. However, little knowledge exists about the characteristics of these progenitor cells within these sources in the equine species. This study wanted to investigate an alternative and non-invasive stem cell source for the equine tissue …

Motinos kraujo ir vaisiaus vandenų uždegiminių žymenų reikšmė chorioamnionito diagnostikai /
… in maternal blood and non-invasively collected amniotic fluid, for the antenatal diagnosis of chorioamnionitis. It was found that NLR has higher diagnostic values than the assessment of leukocyte count and CRP in the diagnosis of histological chorioamnionitis. IL-6, TNF-α, MMP-8 and suPAR in …

The Role of Microbial Diversity in Female Reproductive Health: An Analysis of the Microbiome's Influence on Pregnancy Outcomes in Postparturient Mares
… inflammatory response of the placenta and amniotic fluid carried out by maternal and fetal signals, between 37 and 42 weeks gestation for human females. When the inflammatory response occurs off schedule (prior to 37 weeks gestation), pre-term birth is initiated. Pre-term birth is most …

Clinico-Chemical Parameters of Fetal Fluids and Maternal Blood in the Bovine Model: Effects of Genetics and Sex and Relationships with Feto-Placental Phenotype
… birth weight and postnatal phenotype. Fetal fluids are essential but unexplored areas for prenatal growth. This study examined allantoic and amniotic fluids and maternal blood in a Bos taurus, Bos indicus bovine model to provide fundamental information that is lacking regarding (i) changes in …

New bio-analytical separations utilizing chiral mobile phase additives in thin layer chromatography and chiral stationary phases in high performance liquid chromatography
… presence of trace levels of D-amino acids in: amniotic fluid, blood serum and urine. The blood and urine of healthy young adults were analyzed and found to contain trace to percent levels of D-amino acids. The human amniotic fluid samples did not have detectable levels of D-amino …

Biomechanics of the human chorioamnion
… is the structural soft tissue retaining the amniotic fluid and the fetus during pregnancy. Its biomechanical integrity is crucial for maintaining a healthy gestation and a successful delivery. The premature rupture of the fetal membrane (PROM) can result in serious perinatal complications. …

Natural History Study of Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita, Amyoplasia Type
… comparison group. With the exception of abnormal amniotic fluid levels during pregnancy, there were no significant demographic or prenatal risk factors identified. However, we found common features that discriminate amyoplasia from other types of arthrogryposis and developed a diagnostic …

Impact of mechanical signals on human foetal lung cell differentiation
… If the foetal breathing movements leading to amniotic fluid inhalation, and therefore the exertion of physical forces on the developing lung, are perturbed this leads to pulmonary hypoplasia and can result in neonatal morbidity and mortality. Part of the mechanism for these effects is that the …
