background: we aimed to explore whether maternal asymptomatic hepatitis b (hb) infection effects on pre-term rupture of membranous (prom), stillbirth, preeclampsia, eclampsia, gestational hypertension, or antepartum hemorrhage. methods: we searched the pubmed, scopus, and isi web of science from 1990 to feb 2015. in addition, electronic literature searches supplemented by searching the gray lit...

context maternal serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg) and alpha fetal protein (afp) were originally introduced to detect trisomy 21 and neural tube defects. however, in the absence of aneuploidy or neural tube defects, mid-trimester maternal serum hcg and/or maternal serum afp associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. pregnancies with unexplained mid-trimester elevation in maternal serum ...

Adverse outcome of pregnancy is a potentially dangerous complication of conception and affects 15-20% of pregnancies. According to recent studies increased level of blood antiphospholipids antibodies, if accompanied by predisposing factors, can be an adverse event in human pregnancy. The aim of the present study was to compare the maternal serum levels of anticardiolipin and antiphosphatidyl se...

Mousa and Alfirevic (2000) recently reported on the relationship between histological placental lesions and throm-bophilia status in women with adverse pregnancy outcomes. Their results are interesting (with apparently thorough thrombophilia testing performed), but their conclusion, that the results do not support an association between thrombophilias and adverse pregnancy outcome, is misleadin...

The hemostatic system plays an important role in three crucial stages of pregnancy: ovulation, implantation, and placentation. A thrombophilic defect is an abnormality in the coagulation pathways that predisposes an individual to thrombosis. Pregnancy is a hypercoaguable state and interest has focused on the potential role that thrombophilic defects may play in the etiology not only of recurren...

Congenital and acquired thrombophilias are the most common predisposing factors for thromboembolism, but they may also contribute to pathophysiological processes involved in recurrent pregnancy loss, fetal death, intrauterine growth restriction, placental abruption, placental infarction, and pre-eclampsia. The most common thrombophilias are deficiencies of antithrombin III, protein C, and prote...
