Background: A variety of methods and measures have been used to quantify oxidative stress
in clinical studies related to preterm birth (PTB), and studies have reported conflicting …

Oxidative stress (OS) is the imbalance between oxidant and antioxidant molecules, in favor
of oxidants, that causes aging and disease. Many studies have been published that …

Sepsis is at present one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the neonatal
population. Together with inflammation, oxidative stress is involved in detrimental pathways …

Background Few studies have explored the effects of multiple types of metals/metalloids on
spontaneous preterm birth (SPB). A nested case–control study was conducted in Shanxi …

В настоящей работе представлены основные принципы планирования, проведения и
статистической обработки данных экологических (корреляционных) исследований в …

The significance of oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of male reproductive processes
has been closely studied in the last two decades. Recently, it has become clear that …

Background Prenatal conditions of enhanced oxidative stress (OS) linked to inflammation or
hypoxia have been associated with impaired fetal growth and preterm delivery. Little is …

Spontaneous preterm birth (PTB) is one of the major complications of pregnancy and the
main cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity. Despite the efforts devoted to the …

Fetal or gestational membranes extend from the placenta to enclose the fetus and amniotic
fluid. While the membranes spontaneously rupture at term in normal pregnancies, they can …

Background Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) is responsible for one third
of all preterm births (PTBs). We have recently demonstrated that long noncoding RNAs …
