Combined hereditary thrombophilias are responsible for poor placental vascularization development and low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) prevent adverse pregnancy outcomes in these patients.

Abstract

Even though thrombophilias are associated with negative pregnancy outcomes (PO), there is not a consensus of when thrombophilias should be screened for, or how they affect placental vascularization during pregnancy. Therefore, the main aim of this study was to discover inherited thrombophilias (IHT) in the first trimester in women with otherwise no indications for thrombophilia screening, based on their vascularization parameters. LMWH treatment in improvement of placental vascularization and PO was also assessed. Finally, the classification of thrombophilias based on observed obstetric risks was proposed. Women were included in study based on their poor gestational sac and later utero-placental juncture vascularization signal and screening for inherited thrombophilias. LMWH were then initiated and Resistance index of Uterine artery (RIAU) was followed alongside PO (preterm birth, preeclampsia, placental abruption, intrauterine growth reduction). Study group consisted of women with combined inherited thrombophilias. Control group consisted of patients with inherited thrombophilias who have received LMWH therapy since pregnancy beginning. Out of 219 women, 93 had IHT, and 43 had combined IHT. All pregnancies both in both groups ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
