background: chlamydia trachomatis is the etiology of most of sexually transmitted diseases. colonization of c. trachomatis in the genital tract during early gestation has been associated with preterm birth, and preterm premature rupture of the membranes. the role of c. trachomatis on spontaneous abortion has not yet been proved completely. the aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of ...

Background: The relationship between air pollution exposure and adverse birth outcomes such as low birth weight and IUGR was studied. However, very few studies evaluated the effect of air pollution emissions on spontaneous abortion. We examined association between spontaneous abortion of the first trimester of pregnancy and ambient concentrations of carbon monoxide in Tehran. Materials and Meth...

Objective. The purpose of this study was to (i) determine the cervical microbial composition in different abortion samples and to (ii) investigate the correlation between spontaneous abortion and cervical microbes in Korean women. Methods. We collected cervical swabs from women who had never undergone abortion (N = 36), had spontaneous abortion (N = 23), and had undergone induced abortion (N = ...

Background: Adverse pregnancy outcomes (low birth weight, prematurity and intrauterine growth retardation) are associated with exposure to urban air pollution. Experimental data have also shown that such exposure elicits adverse reproductive outcomes. We examined association between spontaneous abortion of the first trimester of pregnancy and ambient concentrations of Ozone, Nirogen Dioxide and...

BACKGROUND The risk of relapse of depression or the diagnosis of some other psychiatric disorders during pregnancy necessitates the use of antidepressants despite possible adverse effects. Whether such use increases the risk of spontaneous abortion is still being debated. We evaluated the risk of spontaneous abortion in relation to the use of antidepressants during pregnancy. METHODS Using a ...

Background: To determine the incidence of an abnormal glucose tolerance test in patients with recurrent spontaneous abortion and whether metformin would safely reduce the rate of first trimester spontaneous abortions in patients without polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) as well as with PCOS and an abnormal glucose tolerance test. Materials and Methods: Patients with a history of recurrent sponta...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the relationship between different indicators of socioeconomic position and the risk of spontaneous abortion. DESIGN Cohort study. SETTING 1996-2002, Denmark. PARTICIPANTS All first time participants, a total of 89 829 pregnant women, enrolled in the Danish National Birth Cohort were included in the present study. Overall, 4062 pregnancies ended in spontaneous ab...

Background: Spontaneous abortion (SAb) is the most common complication of early pregnancy. Numerous risk factors are associated with an increased risk of pregnancy loss such as: Maternally age, previous spontaneous abortion, prolonged ovulation to implantation, Gravidity, Interval Prolonged time to pregnancy, Balanced chromosomal translocations and Genetic disorders. The aim of this study was t...

background: miscarriage is one of the most common pregnancy complications for which various causes have been defined, such as genetic factors, infectious, metabolic, endocrine systemmal function and immune system undesired responses. the early development of embryo occurs in oviduct and uterine tube from which some factors such as growth factors, glyco-proteins and factors those stimulate devel...

one of the major causes of spontaneous abortion before the fourth month of pregnancy is chromosomal abnormalities. we report an unusual case of a familial balanced chromosomal translocation in a consanguineous couple who experienced 4 spontaneous abortions. chromosomal studies were performed on the basis of g-banding technique at high resolution and revealed 46, xx, t (16 6) (p12 q26) and 46, x...
