Sequela of preterm versus term infants born to mothers on a methadone maintenance program: differential course of neonatal abstinence syndrome

Objective: We determined the effect of preterm delivery on the course of neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) in infants born to mothers participating in a methadone maintenance program.

Study design: A retrospective cohort study was conducted in which infant and maternal data were collected from the medical records of 53 preterm and 66 term infants...

Gender dependent association between perinatal morbidity and estrogen receptor-alpha Pvull polymorphism

Aims: Assuming the importance of estrogen in perinatal physiology, we tested the association of an estrogen receptor-alpha (ER-alpha) gene Pvull pP polymorphism with perinatal morbidity in premature infants.

Methods: The ER-alpha Pp genotype was determined in 69 low-birth weight (LBW) boys and 72 LBW girls, 86 term boys and 81 term girls...

Maternal antenatal administration of vitamin K₁ results in increasing the activities of vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors in umbilical blood and in decreasing the incidence rate of periventricular-intraventricular hemorrhage in premature

Aims: Infants less than 35 weeks' gestation age are susceptible to periventricular-intraventricular hemorrhage (PIVH)...

Evidence supporting proteolytic cleavage of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) protein in amniotic fluid

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine if: 1) insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) in amniotic fluid (AF) exhibited proteolytic cleavage in cases of intra-amniotic inflammation; and 2) if the matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-3, MMP-8, MMP-9) in AF are associated with the degradation of IGFBP-1 in AF.

Methods: AF samples (n=20) were obtained from preterm gestations with and without intra-amniotic inflammation...

Keywords: AF MMP-8, intra-amniotic inflammation, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP), preterm

Obstetric antecedents for preterm delivery

Objectives: To investigate the obstetric antecedents for preterm delivery (PTD) in an Irish urban obstetric population, and to evaluate the incidence and outcome of such deliveries.

Study design: A retrospective observational study of all preterm deliveries at the Rotunda Hospital, Dublin during the six-year period 1997–2002...
