Meconium pseudocyst associated with congenital CMV infection [PDF]
, 2015 Meconium pseudocyst is a rare complication of fetal bowel perforation in utero, following extravasation and localised containment of meconium within the intra-peritoneal ...

Association of Elevated C‐Reactive Protein in Term Newborns With Neonatal Factors and Gut Microbiota
Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aim Plasma C‐reactive protein (CRP) is widely used to assess neonatal infection, although mild, unexplained elevations are common in healthy newborns. We examined relationships between non‐infectious CRP levels and neonatal factors, and early gut microbiota composition in term infants.

Mercury speciation in meconium and associated factors
, 2019 Meconium is formed early in gestation and it is normally not excreted until after birth. Thus it may provide a longer and cumulative record of exposure to mercury (Hg).

Morphological changes in the lungs of meconium-stained piglets
, 2006 Meconium staining of the skin is a common event associated with fetal hypoxia, stillbirths, weak-born piglets, and neonatal mortality. Aspiration of meconium leads to meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS).

The Not-so-Sterile Womb: Evidence That the Human Fetus Is Exposed to Bacteria Prior to Birth
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 The human microbiome includes trillions of bacteria, many of which play a vital role in host physiology. Numerous studies have now detected bacterial DNA in first-pass meconium and amniotic fluid samples, suggesting that the human microbiome may commence

Birth, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background The passive second stage of labor has been increasingly recognized as a normal phase of labor. However, it remains poorly studied, especially in healthy women. This study aims to assess the passive phase in healthy laboring women and maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Comparison of Meconium DNA Extraction Methods for Use in Microbiome Studies
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 The establishment of human gut microbiota commences initially in utero. Meconium—the first fecal material passed after birth—can be used to study fetal gut contents; however, processing meconium samples for microbiome studies presents significant ...

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract Background and Purpose Guanylate cyclase‐C (GC‐C) is the receptor for endogenous (uro)guanylin peptides, bacterial toxins and pharmacological analogues. Receptor activation leads to intestinal fluid loss, but also activates an antiproliferative pathway and is a promising target in colorectal cancer therapy.

Maternal and Newborn Factors Associated with Meconium Metal Concentrations: A Cross-Sectional Study
ToxicsPrenatal exposure to essential and toxic metals may influence fetal development and birth outcomes. Meconium represents a valuable biomarker of cumulative intrauterine exposure; however, data linking maternal lifestyle and diet to meconium metal ...
