Objective: To evaluate the benefit of combined low-molecular-weight (LMW) heparin and aspirin for prophylaxis in women carriers of thrombophilia who had previously suffered from severe obstetric complications.
Methods: The 33 studied women had an earlier pregnancy complicated by severe preeclampsia, abruptio placentae, intrauterine growth retardation, or intrauterine fetal death. All were subsequently diagnosed as carrying inherited thrombophilias.
Problem: To investigate whether inhibin A, inhibin B, and activin A serum levels are altered in women with preeclampsia.
Method Of Study: Serum samples of 20 women with preeclampsia (study group) and 20 normotensive pregnant women, matched for maternal and gestational age and parity, were assayed for inhibin A, inhibin B and activin A by specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Results: Median serum concentrations of inhibin A and activin A were significantly higher among women with preeclampsia than in women with normotensive pregnancies, while inhibin B levels were comparable in both groups.
Background And Purpose: The aim of our study was to investigate the association of transient ischemic cerebrovascular events during pregnancy and inherited thrombophilias.
Methods: The study group comprised previously healthy pregnant women who had their first ischemic event during pregnancy (n=12). The control group included 24 healthy women matched with the study women for age, ethnicity, and smoking status.
Objective: To investigate whether polymorphic p53 and WAF1 alleles are associated with clinical, demographic and histopathological features and BRCA mutation in women with ovarian cancer.
Design: A cross-sectional study.
Population: Two hundred and twenty-one nonselected Israeli women with epithelial ovarian cancer.
