BACKGROUND Preterm premature rupture of membranes is responsible for one third of all preterm births and is associated with significant maternal, foetal and neonatal risks. The objectives were to compare the foeto-maternal outcome in patient with and without preterm premature rupture of membranes. METHOD This prospective comparative study was conducted in Gynae-C Unit of Ayub Teaching Hospita...

OBJECTIVE Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) is closely related with maternal and fetal complications. Therefore, early diagnosis is extremely important to provide maternal and fetal well-being. Many inflammatory markers have been evaluated for their ability to diagnose membrane rupture at early stages. We aimed to investigate the relationship between the platelet-to-lymphocyte rati...

This study aims to explore potential clinical relevance of sHLA-G to premature rupture of membrane. 75 samples of pregnancy were enrolled, including patients with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM), patients with term premature rupture of membranes (TPROM) and normal pregnancy women. Level of sHLA-G in multiple sites were examined with ELISA. Lymphocytes were isolated from periphera...

OBJECTIVE Bacterial colonization of the fetal membranes and its role in pathogenesis of membrane rupture is poorly understood. Prior retrospective work revealed chorion layer thinning in preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) subjects. Our objective was to prospectively examine fetal membrane chorion thinning and to correlate to bacterial presence in PPROM, preterm, and term subjects. ...

preterm premature rupture of membrane(PPROM)is one of the serious problems during pregnancy.the aim of this study was to determine the probable relation between group B streptococal and anaerobic infections and PPROM.for this porpust 100 pregnant women with preterm rupture of membrane were selected.in the case group the prevalence of B-hemolytic streptococcal and anaerobic microorganisms was de...

Ehlers Danlos syndrome (EDS) is an inherited connective tissue disease due to impaired collagen metabolism. Joint hypermobility and skin hyper extensibility are the major findings. Six types of EDS are recognized. Type I or Gravis type is characterized by skin hyperextensibility, joint hypermobility, skin splitting autosoml dominancy inheritance, preterm premature rupture of membrane (PPROM) an...
