MicroRNAs: modified genes and obstetric complications

Physiological and Pathological Roles for MicroRNAs: Implications for Immunity Complications

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding regulatory RNAs molecules with a size of approximately 22 nucleotides that are implicated in regulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional regulatory levels. Inflammatory disorders especially autoimmune diseases (ADs) occur from an abnormal immune response of body against cells of their own specific tissues or multiple organ systems leading to ch...

Combined Thrombophilia and Obstetric Complications

Gestational vascular complications are a major cause of maternal and fetal morbidity. A growing body of evidence suggests significant correlation of inherited and acquired thrombophilia with pregnancy loss, pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, placental abruption, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), and intra uterine fetal death (IUFD). Placental pathological findings in women with thrombophilia are c...

Obstetric complications in schizophrenia

(BDQ). They were also interviewed using a semi-structured schedule focussed on the phenomenon of bodily change. Each subject was also asked to attempt an estimation of the size of body parts on a linear presentation. All groups over-estimated their body size, with females significantly more so than males. Apart from a non-significant trend for female schizophrenics to over-estimate to a greater...

Management in Obstetric Complications

Obstetric complications: Primiparity Vs. Multiparity

The study aimed to compare obstetrical complications in two parity groups, primiparity and multiparity and further determine the association of parity status with neonatal outcomes. A Retrospective study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Punjab Institute of Medical Sciences, Jalandhar (Punjab, India). One hundred patients delivered in the department (booked and unbook...
