Management of first trimester spontaneous abortions

RXRα is Upregulated in First Trimester Endometrial Glands of Spontaneous Abortions Unlike LXR and PPARγ

Nuclear receptors are necessary for uterine invasion of the trophoblast and therefore important for maintaining a viable pregnancy. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression pattern and frequency of LXR, PPARγ and RXRα under physiological circumstances and in spontaneous abortions in endometrial glands and decidual tissue cells. A total of 28 (14 physiologic pregnancies/14 spontan...

Decidual vascularization and the expression of angiogenic growth factors and proteases in first trimester spontaneous abortions.

BACKGROUND Decidual vascular development is important for implantation. This study analysed decidual vascular adaptation to implantation in correlation with miscarriage in decidual secretory endometrium (DSE), decidua parietalis (DP) and decidua basalis (DB) of miscarriage patients and matched controls. METHODS Decidua was obtained during first trimester termination of pregnancy (controls) an...

Patient preferences for management of first-trimester incomplete spontaneous abortion.

BACKGROUND Approximately 15% of clinically recognized pregnancies end in miscarriage. The probabilities for successful outcome between expectant treatment and dilatation and curettage for management of many first-trimester incomplete spontaneous abortions are comparable. The goal of this study was to assess patient preferences for expectant treatment compared with dilatation and curettage, and ...

Activated protein C resistance, but not antiphospholipid antibodies, is associated with recurrent first-trimester spontaneous abortions

* Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] Background. The aim of the study was to evaluate the association between the most common laboratory markers of thrombophilias and recurrent first-trimester spontaneous abortions. Materials and methods. During the period from November 2000 to April 2004, a case-control study was carried out at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology ...
