Premature rupture membranes defined as before date birth. It can occur late pregnancy delivery. Under normal circumstances, 8-10% pregnant women experience premature me...

Many Internet information-management applications (e.g., information integration systems) require a library of wrappers, specialized information extraction procedures that translate a source's native format into a structured representation suitable for further application-speci c processing. Maintaining wrappers is tedious and error-prone, because the formatting regularities on which wrappers r...

The aim of the study was to compare sRAGE and esRAGE plasma levels in pregnant women with (A) threatened premature labor (n = 41), (B) preterm premature rupture of membranes (n = 49), and (C) preterm rupture of membranes at term (n = 48). The relationship between these and classic intrauterine infection markers and the latent time from symptoms up to delivery depending on RAGE's concentration w...

BACKGROUND In this study, we aimed to investigate the expression of NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) and caspase-1 in fetal membrane and placental tissues of patients with premature rupture of membrane (PROM), and to explore their role in PROM. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ninety women participated in this study: a control group of 30 healthy pregnant women, 30 with PPROM, and 30 with TPROM. Immunoh...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the value of detecting insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) in the cervical-vaginal secretion in the prediction of delivery in women with clinically uncorfirmed preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 87 women, gestational age between 20 and 36 weeks were enrolled into this prospective s...
