Demonstration of astrocytes in cultured amniotic fluid cells of three cases with neural-tube defect [PDF]

, 1981
We have investigated the origin of rapidly adhering (RA) cells in three cases of neural tube defects (two anencephali, one encephalocele). We were able to demonstrate the presence of glial fibrillary acidic (GFA) protein in variable percentages (4–80 ...

Presence of parabens, phenols and phthalates in paired maternal serum, urine and amniotic fluid

Environment International, 2022
Objective: To examine whether selected endocrine disrupting chemicals were present in pregnant women and passed through the placental barrier to amniotic fluid, potentially exposing the developing fetus.

Amniotic fluid embolism [PDF]

Anaesthesia, 1979
The statement that amniotic fluid embolism is the most dangerous and untreatable condition in obstetrics appears to be true. It must be suspected in any patient who collapses or bleeds excessively during labour or the immediate post-partum period. Attempts should be made to secure a definitive diagnosis in life by examination of blood obtained from the

Current trends and challenges in amniotic fluid of biomarkers in trace amounts

Talanta Open
The dynamic changes of amniotic fluid during pregnancy are crucial for the development, protection, defense and nutrition of the fetus. Amniotic fluid contains a variety of trace biomarkers, such as microRNA, free DNA, reactive oxygen species ...

Anxiolytic-Like Actions of Fatty Acids Identified in Human Amniotic Fluid

The Scientific World Journal, 2013
Eight fatty acids (C12–C18) were previously identified in human amniotic fluid, colostrum, and milk in similar proportions but different amounts. Amniotic fluid is well known to be the natural environment for development in mammals.

Amniotic fluid disorders and the effects on prenatal outcome: a retrospective cohort study

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2021
Background The amniotic fluid is a protective liquid present in the amniotic sac. Two types of amniotic fluid disorders have been identified. First refers to polyhydramnios, which is an immoderate volume of amniotic fluid with an Amniotic Fluid Index ...

RNA Sequencing Reveals Diverse Functions of Amniotic Fluid Neutrophils and Monocytes/Macrophages in Intra-Amniotic Infection

Journal of Innate Immunity, 2020
Intra-amniotic infection, the invasion of microbes into the amniotic cavity resulting in inflammation, is a clinical condition that can lead to adverse pregnancy outcomes for the mother and fetus as well as severe long-term neonatal morbidities.

Differences of size and shape of active and inactive X-chromosome domains in human amniotic fluid cell nuclei [PDF]

, 1993
It is a widely held belief that the inactive X-chromosome (Xi) in female cell nuclei is strongly condensed as compared to the largely decondensed active X-chromosome (Xa).

Development and Validation of a Rodent Model of Amniotic Fluid Exchange: A Prospective Laboratory-Based Study

Clinical and Experimental Obstetrics & Gynecology
Background: Significant interplay exists between the amniotic fluid and the developing fetus. However the true nature of the relationship between the amniotic fluid and the fetus, as well as the fetal membranes, is very poorly understood due to the lack ...
