Overview of Spontaneous Preterm Birth

Clinical Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2014
The phenotype of spontaneous preterm birth (SPTB) refers to the biochemical and physical characteristics present at the time of preterm delivery. These are the result of the processes that cause this complication. The lack of understanding about the etiologies and our inability to prevent SPTB are because of the complex nature and multiple processes ...

Diabetes mellitus and the risk of preterm birth with regard to the risk of spontaneous preterm birth

The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2010
It is internationally agreed that diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with increased maternal and fetal morbidity and long-term complications. To avoid these complications, it is often necessary to induce birth before term. The impact of DM on spontaneous preterm birth (spontaneous labor, preterm premature rupture of membranes and/or cervical ...

Protein Profiling of Women with Spontaneous Preterm Birth

Pharmacology, 2015
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Preterm birth (PTB) is the largest cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity in the world. Ethnicity disparity in the occurrence of PTB has been associated with the cytokine function. In this study, we aimed at examining cytokine levels in women with spontaneous preterm and term births.

Clinics in Perinatology
Throughout pregnancy, the maternal peripheral circulation contains valuable information reflecting pregnancy progression, detectable as tightly regulated immune dynamics. Local immune processes at the maternal-fetal interface and other reproductive and non-reproductive tissues are likely to be the pacemakers for this peripheral immune "clock." This ...
