BACKGROUND
Alterations in circulating levels of pro- and antiangiogenic factors have been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. Heparin is routinely administered to pregnant women, but without clear knowledge of its impact on these factors.
RESULTS
We conducted a longitudinal study of 42
OBJECTIVE
High level of soluble endoglin (sEng), a potent antiangiogenic factor, predicts pre-eclampsia. We compared the serum levels of sEng in early second trimester in women with and without subsequent placental abruption. Proangiogenic placental growth factor (PlGF) and antiangiogenic soluble
OBJECTIVE
Abnormalities in circulating angiogenic factors have been reported in diseases of abnormal placentation, such as preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction. Our objective was to determine whether circulating angiogenic factors are altered in another placental vascular disease,
Preeclampsia is characterized by angiogenic imbalance (AI), sFlt-1 (soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1)/PlGF (placental growth factor) is useful for its diagnosis and prediction of adverse outcomes, but the relationship among the degrees of AI as assessed by this ratio with the correct diagnosis,
OBJECTIVE
To assess whether the high soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) to placental growth factor (PlGF) ratio is associated with adverse outcomes (e.g., HELLP syndrome [hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets], severe hypertension uncontrolled by medication, non-reassuring
BACKGROUND
Advanced maternal age (AMA) has been associated with negative pregnancy outcomes. Oxidative stress (OS) and defective placental dysfunction are contributing factors. This study determined the association between AMA and adverse pregnancy outcomes, OS biomarkers and angiogenic growth
An imbalance of angiogenic and antiangiogenic placental factors such as endoglin and soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 has been implicated in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia. Extraction of these substances by plasmapheresis might be a therapeutical approach in cases of severe early-onset
The reported incidence of eclampsia is 1.6-10 per 10,000 deliveries in developed countries, where as it is 50-151 per 10,000 deliveries in developing countries. In addition, low resource countries have substantially higher rates of maternal and perinatal mortalities and morbidities. This disparity
Background: The Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF) proposed a competing risks model for early identification of women at high risk of preterm preeclampsia, typically associated with deep placentation disorders. The Great Obstetrical
To investigate the association of falling insulin requirements (FIR) among women with preexisting diabetes with adverse obstetric outcomes and maternal biomarkers longitudinally in pregnancy.
A multicenter prospective cohort study of 158 women (41 with type 1 diabetes and 117 with type 2 diabetes)
Preeclampsia is characterized by an imbalance in angiogenic factors. Urinary prolactin (PRL) levels and its antiangiogenic PRL fragments have been associated with disease severity. In this study, we assessed whether these biomarkers are associated with an increased risk of adverse maternal and
Background Soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) and placental growth factor (PlGF) are used as markers of preeclampsia. The aim of this paper was to assess the correlations between the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio values within the <38, 38-85 and >85 brackets and perinatal outcomes in pregnancies
BACKGROUND
Preterm preeclampsia has a high rate of fetal death or disability. There is no treatment to slow the disease, except delivery. Preclinical studies have identified proton pump inhibitors as a possible treatment.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to examine whether esomeprazole could
Preeclampsia (PE) is involved in a group of obstetrical conditions closely related by the presence of placental dysfunction (PD), which also includes intrauterine growth restriction and placental abruption. The timely and accurate recognition and management of PE are often challenging because
