Molecular Aspects of Plasmodium falciparum Infection during Pregnancy
Cytoadherence of Plasmodium-falciparum-parasitized red blood cells (PRBCs) to host receptors is the key phenomenon in the pathological process of the malaria disease. Some of these interactions can originate poor outcomes responsible for 1 to 3 million annual deaths mostly occurring among children in sub-Saharan Africa. Pregnancy-associated malaria (PAM) represents an important exception of the...
متن کاملCan HIV infection during pregnancy cause an intrauterine growth restriction?
Background Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) indicates the presence of a pathophysiological process occurring in utero that inhibits fetal growth. IUGR has been associated with increased perinatal and infant mortality. There are many maternal factors responsible for IUGR. Some studies have suggested that HIV infection could increase the risk of IUGR. Specifically, in IUGR, the baby’s estim...
متن کاملPlacental infection with Chlamydia pneumoniae and intrauterine growth restriction.
BACKGROUND The concept that low birth weight infants are more predisposed to coronary artery disease (CAD) in adulthood has been studied extensively. Although many infectious agents have been associated with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), Chlamydia pneumoniae an organism implicated in CAD has not been investigated. It was our aim to assess whether C. pneumoniae DNA is present in placen...
متن کاملIntrauterine growth restriction caused by underlying congenital cytomegalovirus infection.
BACKGROUND Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is the major viral etiology of congenital infection and birth defects. Fetal transmission is high (30%-40%) in primary maternal infection, and symptomatic babies have permanent neurological, hearing, and vision defects. Recurrent infection is infrequently transmitted (2%) and largely asymptomatic. Congenital infection is also associated with intrauterine ...

US pregnant uterus 9 Assessment of fetal measurement, growth, amniotic fluid, fetal anatomic survey, and activity patterns is appropriate. O US pregnant uterus biophysical profile 4 Assessment of biophysical profile is of indeterminate appropriateness. Biophysical profile components: 1) fetal heart-rate reactivity; 2) fetal breathing movements; 3) fetal movement; 4) fetal tone; and 5) amniotic ...
