Maternal-fetal conditions necessitating a medical intervention resulting in preterm birth

Article Abstract:

A study identifying three major etiologies, ischemic placental disease, fetal malformations and placenta previa, for medically indicated preterm birth is illustrated. Pre-eclampsia was the most common indication among medically indicated preterm births followed by fetal distress, small-for-gestational-age, and pladpremature cental abruption.

Syncytiotrophoblast intercellular adhesion molecule-1 expression in placental villitis of unknown cause

Article Abstract:

Syncytiotrophoblast intercellular adhesion moleule-1 expression in villitis and in normal chorionic villi from term placentas with or without villitis was determined. More syncytiotrophoblast intercellular adhesion molecule-I expression was observed in placentas with villitis than placentas without villitis.

Factors which influence the short-term success of pessary management of pelvic organ prolapse

Article Abstract:

Patient criteria that may affect the outcome of a pessary trial are identified. The type and severity of pelvic organ prolapse do not influence the likelihood of a successful pessary fitting and should not be used as a basis on which to select patients for pessary management.

Methods, Patient outcomes, Medical examination, Pelvis, Gynecology, Operative, Gynecological surgery
