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

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
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

Clinical chorioamnionitis at term IX: in vivo evidence of intra-amniotic inflammasome activation

Journal of Perinatal Medicine, 2019
Background The inflammasome has been implicated in the mechanisms that lead to spontaneous labor at term. However, whether the inflammasome is activated in the amniotic cavity of women with clinical chorioamnionitis at term is unknown.

Circulating levels of matrix proteases and their inhibitors in pregnant women with and without a history of recurrent pregnancy loss [PDF]

, 2010
Background: We have recently shown that serum relaxin-2 levels are attenuated in women with a history of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). We sought to determine whether a history of RPL is also associated with changes in serum matrix metalloproteases ...
