The Not-so-Sterile Womb: Evidence That the Human Fetus Is Exposed to Bacteria Prior to Birth

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The human microbiome includes trillions of bacteria, many of which play a vital role in host physiology. Numerous studies have now detected bacterial DNA in first-pass meconium and amniotic fluid samples, suggesting that the human microbiome may commence

Genome sequences of nine gram-negative vaginal bacterial isolates [PDF]

, 2016
The vagina is home to a wide variety of bacteria that have great potential to impact human health. Here, we announce reference strains (now available through BEI Resources) and draft genome sequences for 9 Gram-negative vaginal isolates from the taxa ...

Mid‐trimester patch repair of a large cesarean scar dehiscence in an incarcerated gravid uterus with successful pregnancy outcome – A case report and review of literature

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract We report a case of reposition and patch repair of an incarcerated uterus with threatened rupture of uterine scar dehiscence in mid‐trimester. This review summarizes surgical procedures and techniques in the management of uterine dehiscence and rupture in the second trimester with the aim to continue the pregnancy.

Cell-free foetal DNA in maternal plasma does not appear to be derived from the rich pool of cell-free foetal DNA in amniotic fluid [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Large quantities of cell-free foetal DNA have been detected in amniotic fluid, and it has been proposed that this material may contribute to the pool of cell-free foetal DNA in maternal plasma.

Human Amniotic Fluid Mesenchymal Stem Cells from Second- and Third-Trimester Amniocentesis: Differentiation Potential, Molecular Signature, and Proteome Analysis

Stem Cells International, 2015
Human amniotic fluid stem cells have become an attractive stem cell source for potential applications in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. The aim of this study was to characterize amniotic fluid-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AF-MSCs) from ...

Feasibility and effectiveness of the novel HemoClear microfiltration cell‐salvage system in cesarean sections in South Africa

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To test the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing the HemoClear microfiltration cell‐salvage system for cesarean sections in South Africa. Methods We conducted a prospective experimental single‐arm feasibility study collecting and processing blood from 20 adult women undergoing cesarean section in Pelonomi Tertiary Hospital ...

Amniotic fluid stem cells for minimally invasive prenatal cell therapy

Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy, 2014
Amniotic fluid stem cells can be expanded without feeder layers and can differentiate into mesenchymal and hematopoietic lineages. Long-term engraftment has been difficult to achieve after prenatal stem cell transplantation, mainly because of allogeneic ...

Concentrations of Mineral in Amniotic Fluid and Their Relations to Selected Maternal and Fetal Parameters

Biological Trace Element Research, 2015
The concentrations of various trace elements in amniotic fluid (AF) change over the course of pregnancy, with gestational age and fetus growth. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the concentrations of selected essential and toxic elements in AF

Preterm meconium‐stained amniotic fluid: A red flag for infection and adverse perinatal outcomes

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Meconium‐stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) is uncommon in preterm deliveries and raises concerns about maternal and neonatal infectious risks. We aimed to evaluate maternal, perinatal, and microbiological outcomes in preterm deliveries complicated by MSAF compared to clear amniotic fluid (AF) and to assess outcomes in preterm versus term
