An overview of recent advances in the prevention of erythroblastosis fetalis [PDF]

Asian Journal of Transfusion Science
Erythroblastosis fetalis is one of the leading causes of death among newborns and fetuses in India. This condition is characterized by maternal immunoglobin G antibodies destroying the red blood cells (RBCs) of the neonate or fetus, resulting in ...

D-Alloantibody Titration Assessment Study: In Search of a Common Antibody Titration Platform-A BEST Collaborative Study. [PDF]

Transfusion
Abstract Background Alloimmunization against D‐antigen can cause severe Hemolytic Disease of the Fetus and Newborn (HDFN). Traditionally, anti‐D‐titers are measured using a saline indirect antiglobulin test (tube testing). Anti‐D‐titers ≥8 during pregnancy trigger an escalation in maternal care. Tube testing is labor‐intensive and known for imprecision.

Maternal mirror syndrome with foetal hydrops due to isoimunization by anti-KPa antibodies: A case report and narrative literature review. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep, 2022
The association of fetal hydrops with maternal edema should prompt the suspicion of mirror syndrome. In the consideration of fetal hydrops, it is important to include immunohematological studies that rule out the presence of rare antibodies. Abstract We present a rare case of mirror syndrome due to anti‐Kpa antibodies, which can be difficult to ...

Interplay Between Infectious Diseases and the Endocrine System: An Overview and Clinical Insights. [PDF]

Endocrinol Diabetes Metab
Infectious diseases can disrupt endocrine homeostasis through direct cytopathic injury, autoimmune dysregulation, or pathogen‐derived hormone‐like effects. Viruses and bacteria are the most frequent agents, whereas fungi and parasites contribute less commonly, even remaining clinically relevant, especially in the immunocompromised population.

Comparison of intrauterine transfusion techniques in hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn. [PDF]

Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol
ABSTRACT Objectives Intrauterine transfusions (IUTs) are the cornerstone in treatment for hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN). It has been suggested that a non‐vascular intraperitoneal blood transfusion used in conjunction with an intravascular IUT can slow the decrease in fetal hemoglobin (Hb) levels, potentially extending the interval ...

Yolk sac development, function and role in rodent pregnancy

Birth Defects Research, Volume 115, Issue 14, Page 1243-1254, August 15, 2023., 2023
Abstract During the early phases of embryonic development, the yolk sac serves as an initial placenta in many animal species. While in some, this role subsides around the end of active organogenesis, it continues to have important functions in rodents, alongside the chorio‐allantoic placenta.
