Use of the Abbott i‐STAT®1 point of care device for hCG quantification in early pregnancy
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the use of the Abbott i‐STAT®1 point‐of‐care‐test (POCT) device for measurement of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) to support the management of early pregnancy complications in a remote early pregnancy unit (EPU). Methods Women attending the EPU who required an hCG blood test were invited to take part in the study ...

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Influences Systemic Autoimmune Responses
Immunopathological outcomes in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE; or lupus) are believed to be autoantibody-mediated. Conditions which promote a Th2 skew (such as pregnancy) should encourage antibody production, worsening antibody-mediated diseases while

Purification and characterization of human chorionic gonadotropin
Several investigators [2-71 have previously attempted to purify human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). These methods proved to be either too time consuming, not reproducible, or limited to small quantities. In addition, these purified products are difficult to compare because of differences in the methodology of biological and physico-chemical ...

Nested Selves: Self‐Organization and Shared Markov Blankets in Prenatal Development in Humans
Abstract The immune system is a central component of organismic function in humans. This paper addresses self‐organization of biological systems in relation to—and nested within—other biological systems in pregnancy. Pregnancy constitutes a fundamental state for human embodiment and a key step in the evolution and conservation of our species. While not
