Premature Rupture of the Fetal Membranes

New England Journal of Medicine, 1998
The membranes surrounding the amniotic cavity are composed of the amnion and the chorion, which are closely adherent layers consisting of several cell types, including epithelial cells, mesenchymal cells, and trophoblast cells, embedded in a collagenous matrix.

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

SNPs and transcriptional activity of genes of innate and adaptive immunity at the maternal-fetal interface in woman with preterm labour, associated with preterm premature rupture of membranes.

Wiadomosci lekarskie, 2020
OBJECTIVE The aim is to identify mRNA expression of innate (TLR2 and TLR4) and adaptive (IL1 β, IL17A, FoxP3, Tbet, Roryt) immunity in maternal-fetal interface and evaluate the contribution of SNP genes of IL1β (rs1143627), TNFα (rs1800629), IL4 ...

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 ...

Premature Rupture of Fetal Membranes [PDF]

Clinical Pediatrics, 1966
The study here described represents another attempt to estimate under con trolled conditions the value of prophylac tic treatment with antibiotics for normal infants born to otherwise healthy moth ers after premature rupture of the am niotic membranes.

Fetal growth after premature rupture of membranes

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1977
Four patients with preterm rupture of the membranes were treated conservatively. During the period of observation (five to nine weeks), each fetus displayed a normal rate of growth as measured by serial biperietal diameter determinations.

Fetal Behavior in Preterm Premature Rupture of the Membranes

Clinics in Perinatology, 1989
Although the subject has been the focus of a large body of obstetric literature, premature rupture of the membranes and its pathogenesis, management, and incidence of sequelae remain confused and controversial. The origins of this disquieting state of affairs can be traced to the lack of a specific, narrow definition of the condition, and resultant ...

CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF PREMATURE RUPTURE OF FETAL MEMBRANES

The Lancet, 1980
Data from 6613 pregnancies that ended before term were analysed to determine whether amniotic-fluid infections are a cause as well as a consequence of premature rupture of the fetal membranes. Amniotic-fluid infections seem to be a cause of such ruptures because the infections were 2-3 fold more common when the fetal membranes ruptured just before ...

Underestimation of fetal weight in premature rupture of membranes.

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, 1984
The accuracy of estimating fetal weight (EFW) by ultrasonographic techniques was analyzed after spontaneous premature rupture of the membranes (SPROM). The birth weights of 50 infants with SPROM delivered within 72 hours of ultrasound examination were compared with EFW based on ultrasonically measured parameters.

Fetal breathing as a predictor of infection in premature rupture of the membranes

International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 1986
The value of the presence or absence of fetal breathing in predicting infection was determined by a retrospective analysis of 130 patients with premature rupture of the membranes and no clinical signs of infection or labor. The last ultrasound examination performed within 48 hours of delivery was used for comparison to infection outcome, as reflected ...
