Assessing Second Trimester Ferning in Diagnosing Preterm Prelabor Rupture of Membranes.
Am J Perinatol
January 2025
MFM, Albany Medical Center, Albany, United States.
Preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) diagnosis is made through visualization of amniotic fluid (pooling), nitrizine testing, sonographic low amniotic fluid, and microscopic detection of amniotic fluid arborization (ferning). Data exits on the specificity and sensitivity of ferning detection but has not focused on the second trimester. Our objective is to evaluate the presence of ferning in transvaginally collected amniotic fluid in pregnancies with known second trimester PPROM to determine if there is a difference in ferning based on gestational age and sample drying time.

Objective: This is a case report of a COL4A1 gene mutation which was confirmed by further genetic testing following anomalies observed in prenatal ultrasound and fetal brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Case Reports: The ultrasound examination of the patient revealed a mass in fetal left intracranial cavity. Repeated subsequent MRI detected an evolving mass in the left frontal parietal lobe.

: Conscientious objection to voluntary abortion remains a hot debate topic. This could affect the accessibility to pregnancy termination. Our aim is to evaluate the possible aspects related to an operators' choice about objection for voluntary abortion, such as the following: the abolition of the time limit, the instruction of a multi-collegiate commission, the introduction of pharmacological rather than surgical procedures, the fetal/maternal illness and the case of sexual violence.

A 40-year-old woman who had obstetric history of one vaginal delivery and two surgical abortions to terminate early pregnancy received regular prenatal care without any systemic maternal diseases. During the detailed second trimester ultrasound, a homogenous adhesion-induced pseudocystic lesion of 8.6 × 7.

Article Synopsis
- RSA is linked to metabolic imbalances at the maternal-fetal interface, especially concerning essential fatty acids and oxylipins, which may contribute to the risk of spontaneous abortion.
- Research involved analyzing samples from women experiencing spontaneous abortion and those with normal pregnancies, measuring fatty acid levels and enzyme expressions using advanced techniques like GC-MS and LC-MS.
- Findings showed that women with recurrent spontaneous abortion had higher omega-6 fatty acid levels in their plasma and chorionic villi but lower levels in the decidua, suggesting a possible dysregulation of fatty acid transport affecting pregnancy outcomes.
