Human amniotic fluid glycoproteins expressing sialyl Lewis carbohydrate antigens stimulate progesterone production in human trophoblasts in vitro [PDF]
Background: Progesterone is thought to mediate immune modulator effects by regulating uterine responsiveness. The aim of the study was to clarify the effect of transferrin and glycodelin A (former name PP14) as sialyl Lewis X-expressing glycoproteins on ...

Association between amniotic fluid index at term and ultrasound estimation of fetal weight and actual birth weight: an observational cross-sectional study [PDF]
Objectives: To study the influence of amniotic fluid volume at term gestation with accuracy in fetal weight estimation by ultrasound. Methods: Retrospective observational cross-sectional study was done in 358 term deliveries over a period of two years ...

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

Background. The relationship between reduced amniotic fluid volume and increased risk of fetal distress in small‐for‐gestational age fetuses is not yet clear. Furthermore, the criteria used for the diagnosis of ‘oligohydramnios’ are different between the

Background Oligohydramnios is associated with poor maternal and perinatal outcomes. In low-resource countries, including Uganda, oligohydramnios is under-detected due to the scarcity of ultrasonographic services.

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.

Maternal Body Mass Index and Amniotic Fluid Index in Late Gestation [PDF]
Background: Complications during pregnancy and delivery, including gestational diabetes, perineal injuries, hypertensive disorders, and macrosomia, are linked to a maternal high body mass index (BMI).
