Gestational Age-Dependent Effects of Antenatal Magnesium Sulfate on Fetal S100B Levels: An Observational Study Using Cord Serum. [PDF]
J Obstet Gynaecol ResABSTRACT Aim Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) is widely used for fetal neuroprotection in preterm births before 32 weeks of gestation, yet it remains unclear whether its effect depends on gestational age. S100 calcium‐binding protein B (S100B), a protein secreted by astrocytes, is recognized as a biomarker of neural distress.

Chorioamnionitis and funisitis due to Corynebacterium kutscheri. [PDF]
Archives of Disease in Childhood, 1979 When isolated from the female genital tract, diphtheroids are usually regarded as commensal organisms. Corynebacterium kutscheri however is a pathogen in laboratory rodents.
