Intervention at the border of viability: perspective over a decade.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To investigate prenatal management and outcome of infants born at the border of viability during 2 periods, 2001 to 2003 (late epoch) and 1993 to 1995 (early epoch). DESIGN: Cohort study. SETTING: Single academic, high-risk perinatal ... Read more...

Multicenter randomized trial of cerclage for preterm birth prevention in high-risk women with shortened midtrimester cervical length.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to assess cerclage to prevent recurrent preterm birth in women with short cervix. STUDY DESIGN: Women with prior spontaneous preterm birth less than 34 weeks were screened for short cervix and randomly ... Read more...

Neonatal S100B protein levels after prenatal exposure to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.

26 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: This study investigated neonatal S100B levels as a biomarker of prenatal selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) exposure. METHODS: Maternal (delivery; N = 53) and neonatal (cord; N = 52) serum S100B levels were compared between ... Read more...
