Inflammatory response in maternal serum during preterm labour
… However, few studies have investigated the maternal inflammatory response during preterm labour. Therefore, the overall objective of this study was to determine several inflammatory markers in maternal serum from pregnant women in labour (either term or preterm) vs. non-labouring controls. …

Maternal Serum and Whey Immune Markers and Eczema Among Infants
<p>Eczema among children and its relation to maternal whey and serum immune markers are considered to either de- or increase risk of the skin disorder. We conducted a prospective study to contrast the role of different maternal immune markers (MIMs) in maternal serum and whey on the development of …

Evaluation of maternal serum triple screen as an identifier of trisomy 21 pregnancy
Maternal serum triple screen is used to identify women less than 35 years of age who are at an increased risk of having a fetus with Down syndrome. The screen identifies 5% of women tested as being at an increased risk but only 2--3% of these women actually have a fetus with chromosome …

Measurement of Maternal Serum Estrogen Levels in Normal and Complicated Pregnancies by Radioimmunoassay. Their Use in Evaluation of Fetal Well-Being.
The past fifteen years in this country have seen the perinatal period of human existence become the subject of increasing research. Perinatal mortality rates in the United States remain high by comparison with those observed in other developed countries of the world. This difference may be …

Identification of a Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone-Like Factor in the Rabbit Placenta (Pregnancy, Corpus Luteum, Fetus)
First objective was to determine day at which maternal recognition of pregnancy occurs in the doe. We examined the effect of embryo removal on progesterone (P(,4)) and luteinizing hormone (LH) levels in pregnant does. We found that P(,4) and LH profiles of pregnant does that had embryos removed …

Clinical utility of 3D power doppler ultrasound and maternal biomarkers in the prediction of pre-eclampsia in high-risk pregnancies
Globally, pre-eclampsia is a leading cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Approximately 2% of all pregnant women develop pre-eclampsia; women with high-risk co-morbidities are particularly at risk with reported incidences of up to 20%. Evolving evidence suggests that an integrated …
