Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHow Micrornas Affect the Expression of Human Leukocyte Antigeng in PregnancyAyla Carmel Kempers, Marie Van Dijk, Cees OudejansThe expression of Human Leukocyte Antigen G (HLA-G) on Fetal Extravillous Trophoblast (EVT) cells during pregnancy plays an important role in preventing the fetus from rejection by suppressing the maternal immune system. Decreased expression levels of HLA-G have already shown to be associated with several complications of pregnancy such as pre-eclampsia. However, it remains largely unknown how HLA-G gene expression … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Oct 2012 · 7,124 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGynaecologic NephrologyNaheed Ansari, Jolina Santos, Fuad Spath, Srujana PolsaniRenal issues are commonly encountered in females. They can occur both in pregnant and nonpregnant females. Many physiologic changes occur during pregnancy to accommodate the growing fetus. Pregnancy is characterized by changes in blood pressure and expansion of total body volume which results in high glomerular filtration rate. The common renal problems seen in pregnant females are hypertension, proteinuria with … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 4 Aug 2012 · 7,314 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPlasma Fatty Acid Profile of Gestating Ewes Supplemented with FishmealMamun M. Or-Rashid, Rebecca Fisher, Niel Karrow et al.Problem statement: The very long chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (>18C) cannot be adequately synthesized by ruminant tissues to meet their requirements; therefore, their concentration in body depends on the supply through feed. It may be possible to improve the essential fatty acid status of ruminant animals, during gestation by manipulating the maternal diet with Fishmeal (FM). The objectives of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 9 Jul 2012 · 8,219 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMonitoring Levothyroxine Dose during Pregnancy: A Prospective StudyJuhi Agarwal, Sirimavo Nair, Tarun SekhriProblem statement: Thyroid dysfunction in pregnant women can influence the outcome for mother and fetus at all stages of pregnancy. As the fetus is entirely dependent on maternal thyroid hormones for its development until about 13 weeks of gestation, it is important to ensure adequate thyroxine substitution in pregnant women during the first trimester. The aim of this prospective study … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 17 Nov 2011 · 9,213 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Gestation and Maternal Copper on the Fetal Fluids and Tissues Copper Concentrations in SheepAbd Elghany Hefnawy, Jorge Tortora-Perez, Saad Mohamed Shousha, Seham Youssef AbuKoraProblem statement: Samples of allantoic, amniotic fluid, fetal liver, kidney, maternal plasma and liver were collected from 30 ewes and classified into either early or late gestation and copper concentrations were measured. Approach: The Cu concentrations in the maternal plasma, allantoic, amniotic fluid, fetal liver and kidney increased significantly (p<0.01) during late gestation while maternal liver Cu decreased significantly (p<0.01). … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 20 Sep 2011 · 7,466 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Efficient Method for Fetal Electrocardiogram Extraction from the Abdominal Electrocardiogram SignalMuhammad Asraful Hasan, Muhammad Ibn Ibrahimy, Mamun Bin Ibn ReazProblem statement: FECG (Fetal Electrocardiogram) signal contains potentially precise information that could assist clinicians in making more appropriate and timely decisions during pregnancy and labor. Approach: Conventional techniques were often unable to achieve the extraction of FECG from the Abdominal ECG (AECG) in satisfactorily level. A new methodology by combining the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Correlation (ANNC) approach had … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,353 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSecretary IgA Concentrations and plasma Cell Count Changes Associated with the Estrous Cycle in EwesMorteta H. AL-Medhtiy, A. B.Z. Zuki, M. M. Noordin, S. AgungpriyonoProblems statement: The level of uterine Secretory-IgA (S-IgA) and numbers of plasma cells was measured to observe the differences between two stages of estrous cycle (follicular and luteal phase) in the healthy cycling non pregnant ewes. Approach: Twelve ewes were used in this study and they were divided into two groups of 6 animals each according to the stages of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,189 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetection of Chlamydophila abortus in Sheep (Ovis aries) in MexicoJuan Manuel Jiménez-Estrada, Marcos R. Escobedo-Guerra, Gabriel Arteaga-Troncoso et al.Chlamydophila abortus is one of the pathogens which induce abortion in small ruminants; this pathogen has a tropism for ruminant placenta and causes the disease commonly referred to as Ovine Enzootic Abortion (OEA). In Europe are estimated economic losses of around 20 million pounds a year by OEA. In the American Continent the disease has been reported only in Canada, … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,887 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSuccessful Treatment of Both Mother and Infant in Pregnancy-Associated Group A Streptococcal Toxic Shock SyndromeTakayuki Tanaka, Kousaku Matsubara, Yumiko Umemoto et al.All perinatal cases of group A streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS) previously documented in English literature have been fatal for the mother, the fetus or both. We present the first report of successful treatment of a mother-infant pair with perinatal STSS. A pregnant woman developed STSS at 34 weeks’ gestation 3 h after delivery, following a 25-h history of fever … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,089 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMarine-Derived Extracts as Economically Sustainable and Ethical Alternatives to Fetal Bovine Serum in HEK293 Cell CultureKian Kenneth Francisco Sanchez, Jennifer Seki-Wong et al.Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) is a staple supplement in cell culture, providing key growth factors that promote cell health and proliferation. Since 1885, cell culture has been a cornerstone of both basic and applied research, leading to significant discoveries of cell communication and function. However, the use of FBS presents economic and ethical challenges. Millions of bovine fetuses are euthanized … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 7 Aug 2026 · 1,042 accessesView PDFCite
