Background: Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PROM) is associated with one-third
of preterm births. In about 50% of preterm PROM cases, the fetuses will elicit a fetal …

Background To characterize the influence of microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity (MIAC)
and/or intra-amniotic inflammation (IAI) on the intensity of the fetal inflammatory response …

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

OBJECTIVE: Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) is the leading identifiable
cause of prematurity. We hypothesized that, when controlled for delivery gestational age …

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 …

Objectives To examine, in patients with premature rupture of the amniotic membranes
(PROM) at< 34 weeks of gestation, the relationship between fetal myocardial performance …

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess myocardial function of fetuses who
were exposed to intraamniotic infection compared with fetuses of uncomplicated …

Two hundred sixty-seven consecutive patients with preterm premature rupture of
membranes (PROM) and 130 consecutive patients with idiopathic premature labor and …

Background To evaluate the influence of microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity (MIAC)
and histological chorioamnionitis (HCA) on the magnitude of intra-amniotic inflammatory …

Premature rupture of the membranes (PROM) complicates approximately 8% of
pregnancies: 3% of pregnancies deliver from PROM before term. Defined as membrane …
