The thrombogenic effect of an inflammatory cytokine on trophoblasts from women with preeclampsia

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to investigate whether the increased thrombogenic potential of cytotrophoblastic cells of women with preeclampsia can be accounted for by increased rates of apoptosis. The results suggest that preeclamptic cytotrophoblasts are inherently more thrombogenic and more sensitive to tumor necrosis factor-alpha stimulation.

Cost-effectiveness of dilation and evacuation versus the induction of labor for second-trimester pregnancy termination

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to compare the cost-effectiveness of dilation and evacuation versus misoprostol induction of labor for second-trimester termination, using decision analysis. The result showed that dilation and evacuation was less expensive and more effective than misoprostol induction of labor for second-trimester termination.
