A Broad Spectrum Chemokine Inhibitor Prevents Preterm Labor but Not Microbial Invasion of the Amniotic Cavity or Neonatal Morbidity in a Non-human Primate Model [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Leukocyte activation within the chorioamniotic membranes is strongly associated with inflammation and preterm labor (PTL). We hypothesized that prophylaxis with a broad-spectrum chemokine inhibitor (BSCI) would downregulate the inflammatory ...

The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio: a marker for microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity in preterm prelabor rupture of membranes [PDF]

Obstetrics & Gynecology Science
Objective This study investigated the relationship between maternal blood neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, and microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity (MIAC) in the context of preterm prelabor rupture of ...

The clinic application of mNGS and ENA-78 assays to identify intra-amniotic infection/inflammation [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
ObjectiveThe objective of this study is to explore whether metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) and Epithelial Neutrophil Activating Peptide-78 (ENA-78) assays in the amniotic fluid (AF) of patients with preterm labor (PTL) could be employed for

Infections as a Cause of Preterm Birth: Amniotic Fluid Sludge—An Ultrasound Marker for Intra-Amniotic Infections and a Risk Factor for Preterm Birth [PDF]

Diagnostics
Preterm labour (PTL) affects about 11% of all deliveries world-wide. It is a major cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Although the precise cause is unknown in about 50% of cases, infections are thought to be a major contributing factor.

Cord blood procalcitonin and soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor in predicting histological chorioamnionitis – A pilot study [PDF]

European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology: X
Aims: Chorioamnionitis, caused by microbial invasion of amniotic cavity or sterile inflammation, can lead to prematurity and cytokine storm of fetus known as fetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS).
