Comparison of LPS-stimulated release of cytokines in punch versus transwell tissue culture systems of human gestational membranes [PDF]
Background Cytokine signaling within the amnionic, chorionic and decidual extraplacental gestational membranes plays an important role in membrane rupture and the timing of birth.

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.

Blockade of Digestion by Famotidine\ud Pretreatment Does Not Interfere With the Opioid-Enhancing\ud Effect of Ingested Amniotic Fluid [PDF]
Ingestion of placenta or amniotic fluid by rats has been shown to enhance ongoing opioid-mediated antinociception, but does not, by itself, produce antinociception.

Amniotic fluid stem cells for minimally invasive prenatal cell therapy
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 ...

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]
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.

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