First trimester maternal serum placental protein 13 for the prediction of pre-eclampsia in women with a priori high risk.

30 Jul 2009 OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether first trimester maternal serum PP13 can predict pre-eclampsia among women with a priori high risk. METHOD: This was a nested case-control study. Women less than 14 weeks' gestation at increased risk of developing ... Read more...

Maternal plasma inhibin A at 11-13 weeks of gestation in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.

30 Jul 2009 OBJECTIVE: To investigate the potential value of maternal plasma inhibin A in first-trimester screening for preeclampsia (PE). METHOD: The concentration of inhibin A at 11-13 weeks was measured in samples from 121 pregnancies that developed PE, 87 ... Read more...

Insulin resistance in women's health: why it matters and how to identify it.

30 Jul 2009 PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To examine the significance of insulin resistance in women's health and review methods for diagnosing it. RECENT FINDINGS: Clinical phenotypes in conjunction with standard clinical biochemical assays, that is, the metabolic ... Read more...
