Uterine natural killer cells dysregulation in idiopathic human preterm birth: a pilot study.

Objective: To compare between uterine natural killer (uNK) cells in the placental samples of preterm birth and term labor.

Study Design: Two-arm case-control study. This study included 60 participants divided into two groups.

Serum C3 and uterine artery Doppler indices at 14-20 weeks gestation for preeclampsia screening in low-risk primigravidas: A prospective observational study.

Problem: Preeclampsia affects 2-10% of human pregnancies with poor screening tests. In order to intervene preventively, high risk population should be identified before the 20th week of pregnancy and by a method not subjected to operator efficiency.

Methodology: Prospective observational study recruiting 825 low risk primigravidas.
