Analysis of High‐Risk Factors for Failure of Bleeding Control in Enhanced Myometrial Vascularity Treated With Uterine Artery Embolization

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Enhanced Myometrial Vascularity (EMV) is a serious gynecological condition that often leads to abnormal uterine bleeding. Malformation size and involvement of the uterine fundus are significant risk factors. If EMV diameter > 3.85 cm, the bleeding of the patient is more likely to result in failure in UAE treatment.

Palmitoleate protects against lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation and inflammasome activity

Journal of Lipid Research
Inflammation is part of natural immune defense mechanism against any form of infection or injury. However, prolonged inflammation could perturb cell homeostasis and contribute to the development of metabolic and inflammatory diseases, including maternal ...

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 ...

Differential gene expression elicited by ZIKV infection in trophoblasts from congenital Zika syndrome discordant twins.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
Zika virus (ZIKV) causes congenital Zika syndrome (CZS), which is characterized by fetal demise, microcephaly and other abnormalities. ZIKV in the pregnant woman circulation must cross the placental barrier that includes fetal endothelial cells and ...

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,

In Utero HSC Transplantation for Sickle Cell Disease: A Potential Therapeutic Approach That Overcomes Complications of Current Therapies

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects millions worldwide but has limited treatment options, most of which carry significant side effects. At present, the only curative treatment for SCD is allogeneic or gene‐modified autologous hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation (Tx).

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.
