AI Article Synopsis

  • * BPD may develop due to unusual repair responses from lung injuries that happen either before or after birth, with intrauterine inflammation identified as a key risk factor for these injuries and their connection to BPD.
  • * The review explores research on how intrauterine inflammation impacts lung development, particularly the formation of alveoli and blood vessels, while also considering prenatal treatment strategies aimed at reducing this inflammation to prevent or manage BPD.

Article Abstract

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common chronic lung disease in infants and the most frequent adverse outcome of premature birth, despite major efforts to minimize injury. It is thought to result from aberrant repair response triggered by either prenatal or recurrent postnatal injury to the lungs during development. Intrauterine inflammation is an important risk factor for prenatal lung injury, which is also increasingly linked to BPD. However, the specific mechanisms remain unclear. This review summarizes clinical and animal research linking intrauterine inflammation to BPD. We assess how intrauterine inflammation affects lung alveolarization and vascular development. In addition, we discuss prenatal therapeutic strategies targeting intrauterine inflammation to prevent or treat BPD.

Available evidence from animal studies suggests that placental serotonin plays an important role in proper fetal development and programming by altering brain circuit formation, which later translates into altered abnormal adult behaviors. Several environmental stimuli, including stress and maternal inflammation, affect placental and, hence, fetal serotonin levels and thus may disturb fetal brain development. We investigated the effect of prenatal stress of varying intensities on the formation of adaptive behaviors in mouse offspring and the role of placental serotonin in these processes.

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) caused by placental dysfunctions leads to fetal growth defects. Maternal microbiome and its metabolites have been reported to promote placental development. Milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) is known for its diverse bioactive functions, while the effects of gestational MFGM supplementation on the maternal gut microbiota, placental efficiency, and fetal development remained unclear.

Indwelling intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUDs) have surfaces that facilitate the attachment of spp., creating a suitable environment for biofilm formation. Due to this, vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is frequently linked to IUD usage, necessitating the prompt removal of these devices for effective treatment.

Background: Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is a common cause of clinically refractory infertility, and there exists significant heterogeneity in the treatment outcomes among IUA patients with the similar severity after transcervical resection of adhesion(TCRA). The underlying mechanism of different treatment outcomes occur remains elusive, and the precise contribution of various cell subtypes in this process remains uncertain.

Results: Here, we performed single-cell transcriptome sequencing on 10 human endometrial samples to establish a single-cell atlas differences between patients who responded to estrogen therapy and those who did not.

Uterine rupture with induction using misoprostol for intrauterine foetal death in the second trimester: A case report.

Case Rep Womens Health

Médecins Sans Frontières-Belgique (OCB), Avenue 7 Février, Grande passe, Port-à-Piment, Haïti.

Uterine rupture is a well-known, life-threatening complication of misoprostol use; the incidence is remarkably low. Herein, we report what seems to be the first documented case of uterine rupture following induction of labour for intrauterine foetal death in the second trimester without a uterine scar. A 40-year-old woman with no history of caesarean section or uterine surgery presented with mild lower abdominal pain and mild genital bleeding.
