Abstract

Preterm birth is associated with 5-18% of pregnancies and is the leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Amniotic fluid (AF) interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a key cytokine for the identification of intra-amniotic inflammation, and patients with an elevated AF IL-6 are at risk for impending preterm delivery. However, results of the conventional method of measurement (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; ELISA) are usually not available in time to inform care. The objective of this study was to determine whether a point of care (POC) test or lateral-flow-based immunoassay for measurement of AF IL-6 concentrations can identify patients with intra-amniotic inflammation and/or infection and those destined to deliver spontaneously before term among women with preterm labor and intact membranes. One-hundred thirty-six women with singleton pregnancies who presented with symptoms of preterm labor and underwent amniocentesis were included in this study. Amniocentesis was performed at the time of diagnosis of preterm labor. AF Gram stain and AF white blood cell counts were determined. Microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity (MIAC) was defined according to the results of AF culture (aerobic and anaerobic as well as genital mycoplasmas)....Continue Reading

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
