Vagus nerve manipulation and microglial plasticity in the prenatal brain [PDF]
The efferent and afferent effects of the vagus nerve on the developing brain have remained enigmatic. Here we review the evidence of such effects on microglial plasticity in the sheep model of human fetal development, one of the most recognized and deployed models of human fetal physiology.

Chorioamnionitis is a risk factor for fetal and neonatal outcomes. Therefore, predicting histological chorioamnionitis (HCA) and neonatal outcomes using clinical parameters could be helpful in management and preventing morbidities. To determine if parameters of clinical chorioamnionitis (CCA) would be associated with HCA and neonatal outcomes.

MicroRNAs miR-4535 and miR-1915-5p in amniotic fluid as predictive biomarkers for chorioamnionitis
Background: This study was performed to investigate the clinical significance of miR-4535 and miR-1915-5p in severe chorioamnionitis. Materials & methods: Amniotic fluid samples from 37 patients with severe chorioamnionitis were subjected to miRNA array ...

Dichotomous development of the gut microbiome in preterm infants. [PDF]
BackgroundPreterm infants are at risk of developing intestinal dysbiosis with an increased proportion of Gammaproteobacteria. In this study, we sought the clinical determinants of the relative abundance of feces-associated Gammaproteobacteria in very low

Intrapartum cardiotocography patterns observed in suspected clinical and subclinical chorioamnionitis in term fetuses. [PDF]
AIM: To evaluate the cardiotocography (CTG) features observed in suspected intrapartum chorioamnionitis in term fetuses according to the recently suggested criteria for the pathophysiological interpretation of the fetal heart rate and their correlation ...

Periodontal diseases and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Present and future
Abstract For more than two decades the possible association between periodontal diseases and adverse pregnancy outcomes has been extensively evaluated. Numerous observational, intervention, and mechanistic studies have offered valuable information on this topic.

Placental-mediated increased cytokine response to lipopolysaccharides: a potential mechanism for enhanced inflammation susceptibility of the preterm fetus. [PDF]
BackgroundCerebral palsy is a nonprogressive motor impairment syndrome that has no effective cure. The etiology of most cases of cerebral palsy remains unknown; however, recent epidemiologic data have demonstrated an association between fetal neurologic ...

Clinical chorioamnionitis: where do we stand now?
Intraamniotic infection is an infection resulting in the inflammation of any combination of the amniotic fluid, the placenta, the fetus itself, the fetal membranes, umbilical cord, or the decidua.
