Fetal Heart Rate at 12 Weeks' Gestation and the Risk of Preterm Birth

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives To prospectively validate the association between fetal heart rate (FHR) at the 12‐week scan and the risk of preterm birth (PTB), including spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB). Methods This prospective cohort study included 1276 singleton pregnancies undergoing routine first‐trimester screening at 11–13 + 6 weeks' gestation and followed until ...

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 ...

Exometabolomics Reveals Metabolic Modulation Induced by Chia Oil Supplementation in Adipose Tissue Explants From Obese Mice

Lipids, EarlyView.
The experimental design and the exometabolomic findings obtained by 1H‐NMR analysis of conditioned media from subcutaneous (SAT) and epididymal adipose tissue (EAT) explants of control and obese mice supplemented with chia oil (1.5% (w/w)). Following 8 weeks of control or high‐fat diet and 5 weeks of chia oil supplementation, SAT and EAT explants were ...

Obstetric complications in pregnant people with Fontan circulation: Identifying candidate pathologic pathways in the placenta

Pregnancy
Background/Purpose Pregnant people with Fontan circulation have high rates of fetal growth restriction (FGR) and preterm birth (PTB). The mechanisms underlying these complications are poorly understood.

Toxicity Differences Between Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Organs: From Molecular Mechanisms to Potential Therapeutic Strategies

Med Research, EarlyView.
This review systematically compares the size‐dependent toxicity of microplastics and nanoplastics in the intestine, liver, kidney, lung, and brain. Particle size determines bioavailability, barrier penetration, and injury mechanisms. Because of their small size and high surface reactivity, NPs readily cross the intestinal epithelium and blood–brain ...

Placental Blood‐Flow Velocity Quantification From Diffusion MRI

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Altered placental capillary blood flow is closely linked to obstetric complications, yet quantifying capillary‐scale blood velocity remains challenging with existing imaging methods. This is partially because capillary networks form disordered microvascular beds at the voxel scale, rather than coherent, directional vessels.

Ineffectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibitors in prostate cancer: is it just a question of ‘‐mabs’?

The Journal of Pathology, EarlyView.
Abstract Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common type of neoplasm, currently treated with a variety of therapeutic agents. Although advances in treatment over the past decade have improved overall survival, patients with advanced PCa eventually progress from hormone‐sensitive PCa to metastatic castration‐resistant PCa.

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,

Diagnosis and Management of Prenatal Hereditary Pyropoikilocytosis

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hereditary pyropoikilocytosis (HPP) is a severe hemolytic anemia caused by variants in SPTA1, SPTB, and EPB41. These weaken horizontal interactions in the erythrocyte cytoskeleton, causing membrane fragmentation and splenic sequestration. It will readily cause fetal anemia and often hydrops fetalis. Prenatal diagnosis requires first ruling out

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).
