Assessment of Biomarkers of Intrauterine Inflammation Induced Preterm Labor
Preterm labor, classified as birth before 37 weeks, is the manifestation of uterine contractions with sufficient frequency and intensity to cause progressive cervical thinning and dilation of the cervix prior to term gestation. Preterm labor is a consequence of a complex cluster of complications …

Identification of Deleterious and Disease Alleles in a General Population and Preterm Labor Patients
… FSH receptor, a gene known to be associated with preterm birth, as a proof of principle. I sequenced protein-coding and conserved non-coding regions in preterm and term mothers, and conducted fine-mapping and transcription factor binding site analysis to narrow down the causal non-coding variants. …

Study of adverse effect to preterm labor and fetus development after prenatal psychotropic exposure
연구 배경: 임신 도중 정신약물 사용에 대해서 산모 및 태아에게 미치는 부작용과 정신 증상 악화 및 재발이라는 문제 사이에서 약물 사용 여부가 항상 논란이 되어 왔다. 연구 방법: 본 연구에서는 후향적 문헌검토를 통해 단일 기관에서 18년 간 주요 정신 질환을 진단 받은 산모에서 약물 사용 여부에 따른 재태주수와 신생아 출생력의 차이를 t-test를 통해 비교하였고, 정신 약물 복용이 조산에 미치는 위험성을 다른 조산의 고위험성 원인인 고연령 산모, 임신성 고혈압, 임신성 당뇨와 비교하기 위해 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구 …

Dental Health and Socioeconomic Status: Their Relationship with Preterm Labor in Rural Western South Dakota A Pilot Study
… between dental health, socioeconomic status, and preterm labor in rural areas warranted further investigation.<br> A descriptive correlational pilot study examining the relationship between the variables of dental health and socioeconomic status in women in preterm labor was conducted. The sample …

The splice variants of TREK-1 act as dominant-negative suppressors of human uterine relaxation: Implications for preterm labor
… is unclear. Spontaneous or unexplained preterm labor (PTL) accounts for approximately 45% of preterm birth (PTB) which results in infant death every 30 seconds globally. Two-pore domain potassium channels (K2P) are an emerging family of ion channels; these K2P channels participate in the …

The Effects of an Educational Intervention of the Knowledge of, Beliefs about, and Behavioral Intentions Related to Preterm Labor Signs and Symptoms Among Normal, Healthy, Pregnant Women
… among infants in the United States. The cause of preterm birth remains unknown, yet early and comprehensive prenatal care offers at least a partial solution to the prevention of this event. Preterm labor signs and symptoms may frequently precede premature birth and patient education of these …

Hemaglobinopathy and Pregnancy Outcomes: A Historical Cohort Study
… are more likely to develop pre-eclampsia and preterm labor, and to undergo cesarean delivery than women with nutritional deficiency anemia, suggesting that there are other mechanisms beyond anemia that may be responsible for an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. The data suggested a …

Antagonistic Roles of miR-199a-3p/miR-214 and the miR-200 Family in the Regulation of Uterine Contractility During Pregnancy and Labor
… and contractility during pregnancy and labor (Kamel et al., 2010). While these contrasting hormonal effects are likely mediated via differential regulation of inflammatory and contractile genes, the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Recently, we discovered that …

Feto-Maternal Exosome Characterization, Trafficking and Function During Pregnancy and Parturition
… have not yielded answers to the timing of labor. It is evident that endocrine factors alone are not sufficient to fully address timing or mechanisms of labor, which is reflected in the increasing rates of preterm births and other pregnancy complications in most countries. Differences in the …

TREK-1 confers differential effects on contractile dynamics in myometrium and the oviduct, indicating a unique role in endometriosis and labor
… and anxiety. Ten percent of women undergo labor prematurely in the United States, which is a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Both endometriosis and preterm labor are considered to be inflammation- related conditions potentially caused by hormonal and/ or immune …

Alterations in the Brain Renin-Angiotensin System in a Model of Fetal Programming
… an approved therapy for women threatening early preterm labor between 24 and 34 weeks gestation. The immediate effects of BM therapy are of benefit to the offspring, as fetal steroid exposure decreases infant mortality by accelerating lung and gastrointestinal tract development and activating the …

Post-Transcriptional Regulation by microRNAS in Pregnancy and Parturition
… (PR) transcriptional activity, while spontaneous labor is initiated/facilitated by a concerted series of biochemical events that activate inflammatory pathways and negatively impact PR function. In this study, we uncovered a new regulatory pathway whereby miRNAs serve as hormonally-modulated and …

Early prediction of pregnancy disorders with machine learning guided Raman spectroscopy, and metabolomics.
… are needed to ensure safer pregnancy outcomes. Preterm labor (PTL) has a perinatal mortality rate of 10.7%, and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the most common global pregnancy abnormality. Raman spectroscopy (RS) can be used as a metabolic profiling technique for clinical samples in the …

Physiological, Psychosocial, Behavioral, Socio-demographic Risk Factors and Antepartum Bed Rest Associated with Gestational Age at Birth and Postpartum Depression in High Risk Pregnant Women
Preterm birth is the leading cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity in the United States (US). Nearly 75% of infant mortality in the US is associated with preterm birth. In New York State, 12.2% of births in 2009 were preterm and 8.2% were low birth weight. Women with preterm infants also have …
