Background Ductus venosus spectral waveform has two peaks and two nadirs: S, v, D and a velocities, which are obtained after to some extent of accelerations or decelerations throughout a cardiac cycle. It is aimed to define the actual celeration times and indexes and their relationships with the fetal heart rate (FHR). Methods The acceleration time...

Background Preterm premature rupture of membranes (pPROM) is associated with a high risk of prematurity and complications of fetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS). The aim of the study is to determine any correlations between the concentration of selected cytokines contained in the cervicovaginal secretion eluates and in the umbilical cord pl...

Background The aim of this systematic review was to describe the effects of drug exposure during pregnancy on fetal cardiac function. Methods We searched MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane and SCOPUS for studies assessing fetal cardiac function in drug-exposed human pregnancies. Risk of bias was assessed by the Risk Of Bias In Non-randomized Studies of Inte...

Background Preterm birth is the leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (pPROM) occurs in 30% of preterm births; thus, this complication is a major contributor to maternal and neonatal morbidity. However, the cellular immune responses in amniotic fluid of women with pPROM have not been investigated....
