Premature rupture of the fetal membranes

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1970
Abstract As a result of this review of patients presenting with premature rupture of the fetal membranes, the following points are apparent: 1. 1. In the majority of patients at term, labor will occur spontaneously within the first 24 hours following amniorrhexis. The earlier the gestation, the greater the tendency for a delay in the onset of

Retention of the fetal membranes in cattle

Veterinary Record, 1976
An investigation of the possible significance of 'stress' as a factor in the retention of bovine fetal membranes has been carried out, together with the investigation as to the possible variation of progesterone levels at parturition, as a cause of retention.

Histopathology of retained bovine fetal membranes

Theriogenology, 1994
Placentomes were obtained from 20 cows with retained placenta (9 following normal birth, 5 after abortion and 6 with dystocia), and this material was examined by light microscopy. Histologic changes that were consistently seen in placentomes of cows with retained placenta after normal birth included vascular changes (edema, thrombosis and vasculitis ...

Fetal membranes as a source of stem cells

Advances in Medical Sciences, 2013
In recent years, a constant growth of knowledge and clinical applications of stem cells have been observed. Mesenchymal stromal cells, also described as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) represent a particular cell type for research and therapy because of their ability to differentiate into mesodermal lineage cells.

Pathology of the Fetal Membranes

2010
Localized edema with resultant cyst formation is occasionally seen on the fetal surface. Infrequently, such cysts represent amnionic epithelial inclusion cysts. These are simple cysts lined by a single layer of amnionic epithelium and usually contain clear fluid (Fig. 14.1).

Fetal Activity in Premature Rupture of Membranes

American Journal of Perinatology, 1986
Fetal movement (FM) counts by mothers with premature rupture of membranes (PROM) may be helpful in estimating fetal well being, provided FM assessment is not altered by the reduced amniotic fluid. It is possible that the decreased uterine volume restricts fetal movements, though the closer contact of the fetus to the uterine wall may enhance maternal ...

Fetal weight and membrane tensile strength

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1964
Abstract 1. 1. The tensile strength per unit width of membranes was studied in 62 cases of premature delivery and late abortion, 27 cases of premature rupture of the membranes, and 101 normal term deliveries. 2. 2. The average tensile strength of the membranes from normal term deliveries was 0.207 Kg.

Amniopatch for iatrogenic rupture of the fetal membranes

Prenatal Diagnosis, 2011
AbstractWith the increased use of invasive fetal procedures, the number of women facing post‐procedure membrane rupture is increasing. Here we review the use of platelets and fresh frozen plasma for sealing iatrogenic fetal membrane defects by describing the mechanisms of action of the amniopatch procedure as well as published experience.

Pseudotumors of the umbilical cord and fetal membranes

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 1992
Antenatally diagnosed pseudotumors, i.e. non‐neoplastic tumors, of the umbilical cord and fetal membranes may when scanned by ultrasound have an appearance leading to misdiagnosis. In the present cases, a hematoma in the fetal membranes was interpreted as a chorioangioma, and a cystic mass inside the umbilical cord caused by degeneration of Wharton's ...

Ontogeny of the Fetal Membranes and Placenta [PDF]

, 1975
The mammalian placenta is usually defined as “an apposition or fusion of the fetal membranes to the uterine mucosa for physiological exchange” (Mossman, 1937), and this definition is equally true for the placenta established independently within several genera of reptiles.
