Preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) is the main cause of preterm delivery, resulting in increased perinatal morbidity and mortality. Several techniques have been studied for the healing of ruptured membranes, with some success. Before new techniques using tissue/organ engineering are applied in clinical practice, these techniques must be validated in clinical trials. Read More

Background: The number of triplet pregnancies in the United States has increased significantly. Perinatal morbidity and mortality are higher in these pregnancies mainly due to higher preterm birth rates. Interventions to decrease the risk of preterm delivery in this population are needed.

Objective: Postpartum hemorrhage is a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Uterine atony is the most common cause of bleeding accounting for ∼80 % of cases of postpartum hemorrhage. To reduce maternal morbidity and mortality due to bleeding caused by uterine atony even under limited resources, a simple and effective procedure that can be easily applied by all obstetricians and junior physicians is required.

Problem: Immunologic, angiogenic, and anti-angiogenic factors are associated with spontaneous abortion (SAB). B-cell activating factor (BAFF), a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL), placental growth factor (PlGF), and soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) may play a role in SAB and may serve singly or in combination as an early biomarker of SAB.

Method Of Study: In this prospective observational study, serum sFlt-1, PIGF, BAFF, and APRIL levels were measured in the first trimester of pregnancy in a medically-diverse group of women and in non-pregnant controls. Read More
