Objective: To evaluate the intensity of the fetal inflammatory response, characterized by
umbilical cord blood IL-6 levels, and neonatal outcome in the preterm prelabor rupture of …

Objectives: To determine the pulsatility index (PI) in the fetal splenic vein, the main portal
vein, the left portal vein, and the ductus venosus with respect to the presence or absence of …

Objective: To evaluate the influence of microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity (MIAC) and
histological chorioamnionitis (HCA) on the intensity of the fetal inflammatory response and …

Objective: To evaluate umbilical cord blood interleukin (IL)-6 concentrations and the
occurrence of fetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS) with respect to microbial …

Background Preterm premature rupture of membranes (pPROM) is associated with a high
risk of prematurity and complications of fetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS). The …

The fetal spleen is involved in the response to intrauterine infection and inflammation. The
flow pattern of its vein is not pulsatile in normal conditions. The aim of the study was to …

Objective: Intrauterine inflammation has been implicated in the mechanisms responsible for
preterm premature rupture of membranes (PROM). However, it is unclear whether this …

Background. To assess the relationship between placental inflammation, umbilical artery
Doppler waveforms and fetal biophysical profile score, umbilical artery Doppler studies and …

Objective To evaluate umbilical cord interleukin (IL)-6 and funisitis as independent
predictors of early-onset neonatal sepsis (EONS) in preterm prelabor rupture of membranes …

Objective To assess the relation between sonographic fetal thymus size and the
components of fetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS) in women with preterm …
