The Patient, the Provider, and the TikTok Creator: Qualitative Analysis of the Content and Quality of Videos on Prenatal Genetic Screening

Journal of Midwifery &Women's Health, EarlyView.
Introduction Although providers may view the use of the noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) screen as an opportunity for patients to learn more about potential chromosomal variants of a fetus, research suggests that patients may view the genetic screening test primarily as an opportunity to learn about their fetus's sex chromosomes and may not ...

Enlarged NT (≥3.5 mm) in the first trimester - Not all chromosome aberrations can be detected by NIPT [PDF]

, 2016
__Background:__ Since non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) in maternal blood became available, we evaluated which chromosome aberrations found in our cohort of fetuses with an enlarged NT in the first trimester of pregnancy (tested with SNP microarray ...

Endothelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition in the fetoplacental macrovasculature and microvasculature in pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Transforming growth factor (TGF)‐β2 and interleukin (IL)‐1β induced morphological and molecular changes consistent with endothelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EndMT) in HUVECs isolated from both pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes (GDM) and non‐GDM pregnancies.

The contribution of maternal serum markers in the early prenatal diagnosis of molar pregnancies [PDF]

, 2017
The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of maternal serum markers in the early prenatal diagnosis of molar pregnancies. The ultrasound features, cytogenetic and histopathological findings of 10 cases of molar pregnancy diagnosed at 11-13 ...

In Utero Transplantation of Placenta-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells for Potential Fetal Treatment of Hemophilia A. [PDF]

, 2018
Hemophilia A (HA) is an X-linked recessive disorder caused by mutations in the factor VIII ( FVIII) gene leading to deficient blood coagulation. The current standard of care is frequent infusions of plasma-derived FVIII or recombinant B-domain-deleted ...

High‐elevation adaptation and gestational hypoxia jointly shape vascular development in a rodent placenta

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend We investigated how environmental hypoxia and genetic adaptation to high altitudes jointly impact the development of the placental exchange surface in ways that might protect fetal growth potential. We used wild‐derived, lab‐born North American deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) from low‐elevation and high‐elevation environments (

A feasible strategy of preimplantation genetic diagnosis for carriers with chromosomal translocation: Using blastocyst biopsy and array comparative genomic hybridization

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2013
Patients with chromosomal translocation are highly vulnerable to produce unbalanced gametes that result in recurrent miscarriages, affected offspring, or infertility.

A stochastic model for early placental development [PDF]

, 2013
In the human, placental structure is closely related to placental function and consequent pregnancy outcome. Studies have noted abnormal placental shape in small-for-gestational age infants which extends to increased lifetime risk of cardiovascular ...

Human placental exposure to pollutant nanoparticles: uptake, translocation and functional impact

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Prenatal exposure to pollutant nanoparticles has been increasingly investigated due to concerns about their potential effects on placental function and pregnancy outcomes. Maternal inhalation of pollutant nanoparticles can result in a pro‐inflammatory response; particles can also translocate across the alveolus epithelial barrier

The prevalence of SMN gene deletion/duplication in spinal muscular atrophy families referred to neuro-genetic centers of Mashhad, Iran

Egyptian Journal of Medical Human Genetics
Background Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a group of motor neuron diseases. In 95% of SMA patients, the telomeric copy of the SMN gene (SMN1) is homozygously deleted.
