Alterations in MicroRNA and Cytokine Expressions in Placental and Amniotic Tissues of COVID‐19 Affected Pregnant Women

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) has been associated with increased risks of preterm birth and placental complications. We prospectively investigated alterations in microRNAs (miRNAs) and cytokines in placental and amniotic tissues from pregnant women with and without COVID‐19 to evaluate the infection's impact on pregnancy ...

Hemophilia A: An Ideal Disease for Prenatal Therapy

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hemophilia A (HA) is the most common inherited coagulation defect. Current state‐of‐the‐art treatment consists of frequent administration of prophylactic infusions of coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) protein or bispecific antibodies that replace the cofactor function of FVIIIa to maintain hemostasis. However, these treatments are far from ideal,

Novel and High‐Throughput Method of Isolating Single Fetal Cells Using FACS for NIPT

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) as a method of single‐cell isolation of rare circulating fetal cells from maternal blood for use in cell‐based non‐invasive prenatal testing (cbNIPT). Method Blood samples (30 mL) were collected from 75 ‘low‐risk’ pregnant women (gestational age 10–15 weeks).

Mirror Syndrome (Ballantyne Syndrome): Prenatal Diagnosis, Pathophysiology, and the Role of Fetal Therapy—A Narrative Review

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mirror syndrome is a rare maternal–fetal condition associated with fetal hydrops and a high risk of adverse maternal and fetal perinatal outcomes. Its diagnosis is challenging due to the lack of standardized diagnostic criteria and its clinical and biochemical overlap with preeclampsia.

Safety of Venom Immunotherapy in Pregnancy: A Multicentre Study

Allergy, EarlyView.
Venom immunotherapy (VIT) during pregnancy, when maintenance dose is well tolerated, can be continued. No increased risk of adverse effects to VIT or safety concerns for the pregnancy or the newborns were observed. No decreased efficacy of VIT, in case of re‐stings, was reported.

A well-circumscribed border with peripheral Doppler signal in sonographic image distinguishes epithelioid trophoblastic tumor from other gestational trophoblastic neoplasms.

PLoS ONE, 2014
As epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT) shares similar clinical features with other gestational trophoblastic neoplasms (GTNs), it is likely to be clinically misdiagnosed and subsequently treated in an improper way.

Chemotherapy resistance and risk stratification in gestational trophoblastic neoplasia: A systematic review and network meta‐analysis

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Higher pretreatment β‐hCG, greater tumor burden, higher FIGO stage/score, and choriocarcinoma were associated with higher chemoresistance risk in gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. In exploratory network analyses, etoposide‐containing regimens showed lower predicted chemoresistance.

Periodontitis and Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes: Mechanistic Evidence

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This narrative review aims to describe mechanisms linking periodontal diseases in pregnancy with adverse pregnancy outcomes. ABSTRACT Periodontal diseases, including both gingivitis and periodontitis, occur commonly among pregnant individuals. Both gingivitis and periodontitis are associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) such as early ...
