OBJECTIVE: Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is associated with an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes to the mother and fetus. As yet, the metabolic profiles and the association of the clinical features remain obscure.
METHODS: Fifty sev...
Objective
To characterise the vaginal microbiota, mucosal metabolome and host immune response in early pregnancy and investigate its relationship with adverse pregnancy outcomes, including ectopic pregnancy, within the context of pregnancies of unknown location (PUL).
<...The pregnancy vaginal microbiome contributes to risk of preterm birth, the primary cause of death in children under 5 years of age. Here we describe direct on-swab metabolic profiling by Desorption Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry (DESI-MS) for sample preparation-free characterisation of...
Introduction: Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is widely used in the timed artificial insemination program of sheep industry, but there is still controversy about the effect of GnRH on pregnancy rate in the process of artificial insemination. Our research shows that the use of GnRH reduces t...
Preeclampsia is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in pregnant women, affecting 5-8% of gestations worldwide. Its development is influenced by maternal immune abnormalities, metabolic disorders and gut dysbiosis. In this study, we show that gut dysbiosis in pregnant C57BL/6J dams leads to...
Study question: Can a novel machine learning pipeline create predictive models that identify a composite biomarker to differentiate live normally sited pregnancies (LNSP) from non-viable pregnancies in women presenting with pain and/or bleeding in early gestation?
Summary answer: Serum met...
