Experimental gestational pyelonephritis induces preterm births and low birth weights in C3H/HeJ mice.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are associated with approximately 27% of premature births. Escherichia coli is the most frequent causal agent of UTIs and expresses virulence factors, including surface adhesins that recognize specific host tissue receptors. We have reported that E. coli Dr adhesin recognizes decay-accelerating factor as the host tissue receptor and that these receptors are incre...
متن کاملEstimation of optimal birth weights and gestational ages for twin births in Japan
BACKGROUND As multiple pregnancies show a higher incidence of complications than singletons and carry a higher perinatal risk, the calculation of birth weight - and gestational age (GA)-specific perinatal mortality rates (PMR) for multiple births is necessary in order to estimate the lowest PMR for these groups. METHODS Details of all reported twins (192,987 live births, 5,539 stillbirths and...
متن کاملSecond births to teenage mothers: risk factors for low birth weight and preterm birth.
CONTEXT Teenagers are more likely than older women to have a low-birth-weight infant or a preterm birth, and the risks may be particularly high when they have a second birth. Identifying predictors of these outcomes in second teenage births is essential for developing preventive strategies. METHODS Birth certificate data for 1993-2002 were linked to identify second births to Milwaukee teenage...
متن کاملDental Infection of Porphyromonas gingivalis Induces Preterm Birth in Mice
BACKGROUND Epidemiological studies have revealed a link between dental infection and preterm birth or low birth weight (PTB/LBW), however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Progress in understanding the associated mechanisms has been limited in part by lack of an animal model for chronic infection-induced PTB/LBW, mimicking pregnancy under conditions of periodontitis. We aimed to establ...
متن کاملLow birth weight, preterm births, and intrauterine growth retardation in relation to parental smoking during pregnancy.

Cigarette smoking is clearly linked to the most common causes of death in the elderly and contributes to the morbidity and disability associated with many chronic neurological, cardiovascular, and pulmonary illnesses. Cigarette smoke not only affects smokers but also contributes to the hea...
