The objective of the Prospective Observational Trial to Optimize Pediatric Health in Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR) (PORTO Study), a national prospective observational multicenter study, was to evaluate which sonographic findings were associated with perinatal morbidity and mortality in pregnancies affected by growth restriction, originally defined as estimated fetal weight (EFW)
Is thrombin activation predictive of subsequent preterm delivery?
To determine the relation between thrombin generation (measured by thrombin-antithrombin [TAT] complexes) early in pregnancy and subsequent preterm delivery.
The Mothers, Omega-3, and Mental Health Study: a double-blind, randomized controlled trial.
Maternal deficiency of the omega-3 fatty acid, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), has been associated with perinatal depression, but there is evidence that supplementation with eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) may be more effective than DHA in treating depressive symptoms. This trial tested the relative effects of EPA- and DHA-rich fish oils on prevention of depressive symptoms among pregnant women at an increased risk of depression.
Fetal dysregulation of T helper cell pathways may predispose to allergy, as high cord blood T helper 2/T helper 1 ratios have been shown to precede development of allergic diseases. We aimed to determine whether prenatal eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid supplementation reduces T helper 2 to T helper 1-associated chemokine ratios. We also explored the effect of mode of delivery on T helper 2/T helper 1 ratios.
Over the last 5 years, a new obstetric-gynecologic hospitalist model has emerged rapidly, the primary focus of which is the care and safety of the laboring patient. The need for this type of practitioner has been driven by a number of factors: various types of patient safety programs that require a champion and organizer; the realization that bad outcomes and malpractice lawsuits often result from the lack of immediate availability of a physician in the labor and delivery suite; the desire for many younger...
Abnormal anal cytology in HIV-infected women: Baranoski et al.
The article below summarizes a roundtable discussion of a study published in this issue of the Journal in light of its methodology, relevance to practice, and implications for future research. Article discussed: Baranoski AS, Tandon R, Weinberg J, et al. Risk factors for abnormal anal cytology over time in HIV-infected women. Am J Obstet Gynecol 2012;207:107.e1-8.
Four subtypes of adenomyosis assessed by magnetic resonance imaging and their specification.
The aim of the present study was to differentiate and specify the subtypes of adenomyosis.
Neonatal mortality by attempted route of delivery in early preterm birth.
We sought to study neonatal outcomes in early preterm births by delivery route.
We examined outcomes that were associated with a novel program to identify patients who are at high risk for shoulder dystocia with brachial plexus injury.
Timing of delivery following selective laser photocoagulation for twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome.
We sought to compare intrauterine risks with postnatal outcome in monochorionic pregnancies operated by fetoscopic laser surgery for twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome.
Maternal obesity and contraction strength in the first stage of labor.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether maternal obesity is associated with cesarean delivery and decreased contraction strength in the first stage of labor.
Vascular limb occlusion in twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS): case series and literature review.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the phenomenon of vascular ischemic limb necrosis in twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS).
A randomized trial of birthing with and without stirrups.
The objective of the study was to determine whether bed delivery without stirrups reduces the incidence of perineal lacerations compared with delivery in stirrups.
Tissue factor-dependent thrombin generation across pregnancy.
Normal pregnancy results in a prothrombotic state. Studies that have investigated the capacity of pregnant women to generate thrombin are limited. Our aim was to evaluate thrombin generation longitudinally from the preconception period, through pregnancy, and after pregnancy.
Endothelial microparticles and the antiangiogenic state in preeclampsia and the postpartum period.
We sought to determine if endothelial microparticles (EMPs), markers of endothelial damage, are associated with soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt1), soluble endoglin, and placental growth factor (PlGF) in women with preeclampsia.
To determine whether proangiogenic immature myeloid cells are present in human placentas.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate ultrasonographically fetal growth trajectories, placental biometry, and umbilical artery (UA) Doppler indices in growth-restricted pregnancies of overnourished adolescent ewes and normally developing pregnancies of control-fed ewes.
Clear cell carcinoma arising in the abdominal wall: two case reports and literature review.
Clear cell carcinoma originating in the abdominal wall is rare and usually develops within endometriotic implants in the scar. We describe 2 patients: a 42 year old with a 15 cm mass on the abdominal wall treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and excision and a 51 year old with a 6 cm abdominal mass treated with excision and adjuvant radiotherapy.

Maternal-fetal care starts and ends with the mother.
Progesterone and preterm birth prevention: translating clinical trials data into clinical practice.
OBJECTIVE: We sought to provide evidence-based guidelines for using progestogens for the prevention of preterm birth (PTB). METHODS: Relevant documents, in particular randomized trials, were identified using PubMed (US National Library of Medicine, 1983 through February 2012) publications, written in English, which evaluate the effectiveness of progestogens for prevention of PTB. Progestogens evaluated were, in particular, vaginal progesterone and 17-alpha-hydroxy-progesterone caproate. Additionally, the Co...
A new method for assessing uterine activity: Haran et al.
The article below summarizes a roundtable discussion of a study published in this issue of the Journal in light of its methodology, relevance to practice, and implications for future research. Article discussed: Haran G, Elbaz M, Fejgin MD, et al. A comparison of surface acquired uterine electromyography and intrauterine pressure catheter to assess uterine activity. Am J Obstet Gynecol 2012;206:412.e1-5.
The effect of CenteringPregnancy group prenatal care on preterm birth in a low-income population.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of group prenatal care on rates of preterm birth.
Maternal superobesity and perinatal outcomes.
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of maternal superobesity (body mass index [BMI], ≥50 kg/m(2)) compared with morbid obesity (BMI, 40-49.9 kg/m(2)) or obesity (BMI, 30-39.9 kg/m(2)) on perinatal outcomes.
