Article Synopsis
- Histological chorioamnionitis (HCA) is an inflammatory response in the uterus typically found in pre-term deliveries, characterized by immune cell presence in fetal-maternal tissues, which may influence neonatal outcomes.
- A study of 100 pre-term infants (with and without ruptured membranes) analyzed factors like delivery type, gestational age, and neonatal care influence on HCA and early complications including 5-minute Apgar scores.
- Findings suggest that while factors like delivery type and gestational age are linked to HCA, specific fetal heart rate patterns were not, indicating that examining placenta histology in low-scoring pre-term infants could shed light on neonatal issues.
Rice is considered one of the most important staple food crops. Genetically modified (GM) Bt rice, harbored cry1Ab gene expressing the insect-resistance protein has been developed to resistance to the insects. In this study, we assessed the safety of the GM Bt rice on Sprague-Dawley rats for 90 days.

The aim of the present study was to compare the effect of addition of the coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)/atorvastatin combination to standard congestive heart failure (CHF) treatment versus addition of atorvastatin alone on CHF outcomes.
Methods: This study was a double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial.
