Abstract Objective Preterm labor is a multifactorial syndrome with diverse etiologies such as infection, inflammation, uteroplacental dysfunction, stress, and immune dysregulation. Identifying women at high risk remains a challenge, and multivariate prediction models have been developed to enhance risk stratification.

Detection of lipoglycans in ureaplasmas [PDF]
Serotypes 3, 4, and 8 of Ureaplasma urealyticum were found to contain lipoglycans. Although the ratios of their components differed, all contained neutral sugars, fatty acids, glycerol, and phosphorus. All three became labeled when the organisms were cultivated in the presence of [14C]glucose, [14C]palmitic or [14C]oleic acids, and inorganic 32P.

ABSTRACT Objective To assess microbial culture profiles and antibiotic resistance patterns in pregnancies complicated by preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) following fetal surgery compared with spontaneous PPROM without fetal surgery. Method This retrospective cross‐sectional study included women with multiple pregnancies and PPROMs < 34 ...

Association of Elevated C‐Reactive Protein in Term Newborns With Neonatal Factors and Gut Microbiota
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.

Abstract Objective To assess maternal infection following prelabor rupture of membranes (PROM) at term in a setting where active management is recommended, and to identify associated risk factors. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted including pregnant women admitted to a Portuguese tertiary care center where immediate induction of labor ...
