Serum of multiparous women can contain HLA polyclonal antibodies which can be used as reagents for serological typing of HLA class I and class II. The aim of this study was to investigate an alloimmunization of multiparous women and to identify HLA polyclonal antibodies which could be useful as laboratory reagents in view of the future HLA unit of the Department of Immunology at Abidjan. In an ...

Background and aim: Postpartum period is an exclusive period after birth which can act as a potential stressor and could be accompanied with psychological disorders. Social support could play an important role in maternal mental health. Considering various stressors and different levels of social support for women, this study aimed to compare postpartum stressors as well as social support level...

Background: Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) and in vitro fertilization (IVF) failure with unknown causes are the controversial issues that are probably related to the immune system. Objective: To compare circulating NK cells expressing activation and inhibition surface markers between patients with RSA and IVF failure with those of healthy multiparous and successful IVF control women, resp...

PURPOSE To examine the uterine involution period after uncomplicated delivery in primiparous and multiparous women. METHODS Longitudinal prospective study. Repeated parameters were measured and endometrial contents and diastolic notch were observed. Measurements of primiparous and multiparous women were carried out after labour on the 1st, 3rd, 10th, 30th, 42nd, and 60th postpartum days. The ...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to compare mode of delivery for both nulliparous and multiparous women at term that underwent elective induction of labor to those who arrived in spontaneous labor. METHODS Medical records of 807 deliveries were reviewed. There were 566 labor patients and 241 elective induction patients. RESULTS Women who underwent elective induction of labor were mor...

conclusions increment in the number of parity can lead to decrease antioxidant defense mechanisms in multiparous women and their newborns. so, control of oxidative stress is considered to be beneficial in multiparous women. background parturition has been associated with free radicals, itself linked with poor pregnancy outcome. objectives this study aimed to investigate the relationship between...

BACKGROUND The association of grand multiparity and poor pregnancy outcome has not been consistent for decades. Classifying grand multiparous women as a high-risk group without clear evidence of a consistent association with adverse outcomes can lead to socioeconomic burdens to the mother, family and health systems. We compared the maternal and perinatal complications among grand multiparous an...

It has previously been shown that sera from multiparous women have increased levels of anti-idiotypic antibodies specific for anti-HLA molecules. gamma-Globulins prepared from these sera may be superior to commercial preparations of intravenous gamma-globulin (IVIg) for inhibiting HLA alloimmunization. To test this, F(ab')2 fragments prepared from either commercial IVIg or from the sera of men ...

background: recurrent spontaneous abortion (rsa) and in vitro fertilization (ivf) failure with unknown causes are the controversial issues that are probably related to the immune system. objective: to compare circulating nk cells expressing activation and inhibition surface markers between patients with rsa and ivf failure with those of healthy multiparous and successful ivf control women, resp...

BACKGROUND Japan experienced two rubella outbreaks in the past decade (2004 and 2012-2013), resulting in 10 and 20 infants with congenital rubella syndrome (CRS), respectively. This study was performed to determine whether the seronegative rate was lower in multiparous women than in primiparous women in Japan. METHODS Hemagglutination inhibition (HI) test results during pregnancy were analyze...
