Retinopathy of prematurity and placental histopathology findings: A retrospective cohort study
AimRetinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a biphasic vaso-proliferative disease that has the potential to cause blindness. In addition to prematurity and hyperoxia, perinatal infection and inflammation have been reported to play a critical role in the ...

Perinatal risk factors for neonatal encephalopathy: an unmatched case-control study [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Neonatal encephalopathy (NE) is the third leading cause of child mortality. Preclinical studies suggest infection and inflammation can sensitise or precondition the newborn brain to injury.

Does acute funisitis predict worse neonatal outcomes among term newborns? [PDF]
Acute funisitis-the histologic diagnosis of inflammation within the umbilical cord-represents a fetal inflammatory response to infection. Although acute funisitis has been associated with an increased risk of adverse outcomes among preterm neonates, there are limited and conflicting data with term deliveries.This study aimed to evaluate the association

Diagnostic tests for the prediction of histological chorioamnionitis and funisitis in pregnant women with preterm premature rupture of membranes: A systematic review. [PDF]
Background Infection of the amniotic cavity is an important driver and/or consequence of preterm prelabour rupture of membranes (PPROM). Prediction of infection is challenging, limiting guidance for interventions during the antenatal period. Infection typically triggers a host inflammatory response, and non‐invasive indirect markers of the maternal or ...

Fetal and early neonatal interleukin-6 response [PDF]
In 1998, a systemic fetal cytokine response, defined as a plasma interleukin-6 (IL-6) value above 11 pg/mL, was reported to be a major independent risk factor for the subsequent development of neonatal morbid events even after adjustments for gestational

Chorioamnionitis and funisitis due to Corynebacterium kutscheri. [PDF]
When isolated from the female genital tract, diphtheroids are usually regarded as commensal organisms. Corynebacterium kutscheri however is a pathogen in laboratory rodents. We report a case in which C. kutscheri was isolated as a pure culture from the umbilical cord and from other surface sites in an infant.

Placental Pathology in a COVID-19 Positive Patient with Abruptio Placentae- A Case Report [PDF]
The effects of Severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome-Associated Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) on the placental tissue are still being explored. Whether these placental changes result in adverse foeto-maternal outcome is an aspect that needs to be ...
