Characterization of the extracellular matrix from human and dog umbilical cords
Abstract The extracellular matrix is important for maintaining tissue morphogenesis and homeostasis; it can also be used as a biomaterial for the production of biological scaffolds. Particularly, the umbilical cord has shown potential in the production of scaffolds for small‐diameter vessels.

Correlation of Neopterin Concentrations In Amniotic Fluid and Urine of Pregnant Women at Delivery
Median neopterin concentration in amniotic fluid at delivery was 72 nM which is approximately 10-fold the maternal and fetal serum concentration. A strong correlation existed between neopterin concentrations in amniotic fluid and urine, except an ...

Human Amniocytes Are Receptive to Chemically Induced Reprogramming to Pluripotency [PDF]
Restoring pluripotency using chemical compounds alone would be a major step forward in developing clinical-grade pluripotent stem cells, but this has not yet been reported in human cells.

Structural and Functional Imaging of Motor Outcomes in Twins With Perinatal Stroke: A Case Report
ABSTRACT Background Perinatal arterial ischemic stroke (AIS) affects 1 in 4000 live births. Dystonia, affecting ~20% of children following AIS, is characterized by involuntary muscle contractions and abnormal movements. Why some develop dystonia post AIS, while others do not, remains unclear.

Abstract Background Previous experiments inducing leakage of embryonic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) suggest the necessity of intraventricular CSF pressure (PCSF) for brain morphogenesis. Nevertheless, how embryonic PCSF occurs is unclear, especially in utero. Results Using a Landis water manometer, we measured PCSF in fetal mice isolated from the amniotic

Abstract Spontaneous hemoperitoneum in pregnancy (SHIP) is defined as sudden, nontraumatic intraperitoneal bleeding that occurs during pregnancy or up to 42 days postpartum. The incidence ranges between 4 and 4.9 per 100 000 births. Although seen rarely, it is associated with perinatal morbidity and mortality due to maternal hemodynamic instability ...

Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) is a common devastating gastrointestinal disease, which usually develops in premature infants. Erythropoietin (EPO) as a hematopoietic hormone produced by the kidney can also be naturally found in amniotic fluid and ...

Amniotic fluid volume: Rapid MR-based assessment at 28-32 weeks gestation. [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: This work evaluates rapid magnetic resonance projection hydrography (PH) based amniotic fluid volume (AFV) estimates against established routine ultrasound single deepest vertical pocket (SDVP) and amniotic fluid index (AFI) measurements, in ...

The rising tide: Trends in induction of labor at term over a 5‐year period at a single centre
Abstract Objective Induction of labor (IOL) is a controversial topic in contemporary obstetric practice, with some suggesting that the increase in elective induction (eIOL) as a potential contributor to increasing cesarean delivery (CD) rates. The objectives of this single‐center study were to examine the rates of IOL, trends in indications for IOL ...

External cephalic version outcomes with tocolysis and sedation: A 10‐year retrospective cohort study
Abstract Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of external cephalic version (ECV) performed with tocolysis and sedation or spinal anesthesia, and to identify predictors of ECV success, complications, and delivery outcomes after successful ECV. Methods This 10‐year cohort study included 990 pregnant women with term non‐cephalic presentation
