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

Placenta Pathologies in Two Patients With Glycogen Storage Disease Type Ia and Preeclampsia. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Little is known about pregnancies and placental changes in women with glycogen storage disease type Ia (GSD Ia). We report on two primipara with GSD Ia who both developed preeclampsia and whose newborns were small for gestational age. Both placentas showed sonomorphological and macroscopical abnormalities.

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