N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide in amniotic fluid of fetuses with known or suspected cardiac load. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Myocardial dysfunction occurs in a variety of fetal disorders. Findings from adult cardiology, where n-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (nt-proBNP) is an established biomarker of left ventricular dysfunction have been extended to fetal ...

Characterization of cells of amniotic fluids by immunological identification of intermediate-sized filaments: Presence of cells of different tissue origin [PDF]
Antibodies against intermediate-sized filaments, of the prekeratin or vimentin type, were used to investigate the presence of these filaments by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy in cultured and non-cultured amniotic fluid cells, in frozen sections ...

Proteomic analysis for the study of amniotic fluid protein composition [PDF]
Amniotic fluid (AF), routinely used for prenatal diagnosis, contains large amounts of proteins produced by the amnion epithelial cells, fetal tissues, fetal excretions and placental tissues. Although many amniotic fluid proteins have been identified and

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

Amniotic fluid embolism is one of the most catastrophic complications of pregnancy. First described in 1941, the condition is exceedingly rare and the exact pathophysiology is still unknown. The etiology was thought to be embolic in nature, but more recent evidence suggests an immunologic basis. Common presenting symptoms include dyspnea, nonreassuring

The Effect of Intravenous and Oral Fluid Therapy on Women with Third Trimester Oligohydramnios of Pregnancy and the Fetus [PDF]
Background & Objective: Adequate amniotic fluid volume is one of the most important aspects of fetal health and Oligohydramnios refers to amniotic fluid volume that is less than expected for gestational age. The aim of this study was to compare the trend

Fetuin A concentration in the second trimester amniotic fluid of fetuses with Trisomy 21 appears to be lower: phenotypic considerations [PDF]
Objective: We investigated whether the concentration of the glycoprotein fetuin A is altered in the second trimester amniotic fluid of trisomy 21 pregnancies compared with euploid pregnancies. Methods.

The Effects of Intravenous Hydration on Amniotic Fluid Volume and Pregnancy Outcomes in Women with Term Pregnancy and Oligohydramnios: A Randomized Clinical Trial [PDF]
Introduction: Amniotic fluid is an important factor in the prediction of fetal survival. The aim of this research was to evaluate the effects of intravenous hydration of mothers on amniotic fluid volume and in turn on pregnancy outcomes.
