| the alabama preterm birth study: umbilical cord blood ureaplasma urealyticum and mycoplasma hominis cultures in very preterm newborn infants. | this study was undertaken to evaluate the frequency of umbilical cord blood infections with ureaplasma urealyticum and mycoplasma hominis in preterm 23- to 32-week births and to determine their association with various obstetric conditions, markers of placental inflammation, and newborn outcomes. | 2008 | 18166302 |
| the alabama preterm birth study: intrauterine infection and placental histologic findings in preterm births of males and females less than 32 weeks. | the objective of the study was to determine whether there are differences in the placental histology and various markers of infection/inflammation between preterm male and female fetuses. | 2006 | 16796981 |
| mycoplasmal infections of cerebrospinal fluid in newborn infants from a community hospital population. | mycoplasma hominis or ureaplasma urealyticum have previously been isolated from cerebrospinal fluid (csf) in 13 of 100 newborn infants tested from a high risk university hospital population where the mothers were of predominantly lower income and socioeconomic status and had often received little or no prenatal care. we sought to determine whether such infections occur in neonates born to women cared for mainly through private obstetric practices and who delivered in 4 suburban community hospita ... | 1990 | 2336309 |
| the alabama preterm birth study: diffuse decidual leukocytoclastic necrosis of the decidua basalis, a placental lesion associated with preeclampsia, indicated preterm birth and decreased fetal growth. | laminar necrosis, a band-like distribution of coagulative necrosis, has been reported at the choriodecidual interface of the free membranes of placentas of women with various adverse neonatal outcomes. our goal in this study was to evaluate the frequency of an equivalent feature in the decidua basalis, diffuse decidual leukocytoclastic necrosis (ddln), a diffuse coagulative necrosis admixed with karyorrhectic debris, in preterm births <32 weeks, and to determine its association with various obst ... | 2007 | 17674243 |
