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

Ultrasound Prediction of Amniotic Fluid Volume [PDF]
Using ultrasonography, we measured the largest vertical dimension for pockets of amniotic fluid (largest vertical pocket) directly before elective cesarean delivery in 42 pregnant women and compared the results to actual amniotic fluid volume (AFV).

Cellular immune responses in amniotic fluid of women with preterm labor and intraâ amniotic infection or intraâ amniotic inflammation [PDF]
ProblemPreterm birth is commonly preceded by preterm labor, a syndrome that is causally linked to both intraâ amniotic infection and intraâ amniotic inflammation. However, the stereotypical cellular immune responses in these two clinical conditions are
