The biomechanics of amnion rupture: an X-ray diffraction study [PDF]
Pre-term birth is the leading cause of perinatal and neonatal mortality, 40% of which are attributed to the pre-term premature rupture of amnion. Rupture of amnion is thought to be associated with a corresponding decrease in the extracellular collagen ...

One of the most exciting and useful developments in modern oncology has been the recognition that certain biochemical tags can be used as cell markers in diagnosis, in monitoring the effects of anti-tumor therapy, and in follow-up to detect tumor recurrence. The measurement of chorionic gonadotropin (CG) in women with choriocarcinoma and/or gestational

The Role of Progesterone and a Novel Progesterone Receptor, Progesterone Receptor Membrane Component 1, in the Inflammatory Response of Fetal Membranes to Ureaplasma parvum Infection. [PDF]
Ureaplasma parvum (U. parvum) is gaining recognition as an important pathogen for chorioamnionitis and preterm premature rupture of membranes. We aimed to investigate the roles of progesterone (P4) and a novel progesterone receptor, progesterone receptor
