Anatomical context of Fetal Death

  • Human parvovirus B19 is a cause of aplastic crises in patients with haemolytic anaemias, prolonged bone marrow failure in the immunosuppressed, and fetal death secondary to non-immune hydrops [16].
  • Diagnosis of fetal death in utero with amniotic fluid creatine kinase [17].
  • Mifepristone causes expulsion of the uterine contents following intrauterine fetal death and promotes dilation of the non-pregnant primigravid uterus [18].
  • Tamoxifen produced significant impairment of decidual development, which was associated with altered blood vessel transformation in the placental bed, impaired fetoplacental development and higher incidence of growth retarded fetuses and fetal death [19].
  • Abortions performed after 20 menstrual weeks were effected by instillation of intra-amniotic hyperosmolar urea or induction of fetal death by injection of digoxin and/or hyperosmolar urea into the fetus, followed by artificial rupture of membranes, induction of labor, and assisted expulsion or instrumental extraction of the fetus [20].
 

Gene context of Fetal Death

  • In addition, we show that although fertility of Tpst1(-/-) males and females per se is normal, Tpst1(-/-) females have significantly smaller litters because of fetal death between 8.5 and 15.5 days postcoitum [4].
  • RESULTS: Women with subsequent fetal death had both amniotic NO and VEGF lower than women with normal pregnancy (NO 3.28+/-1.20 microg/mg creatinine versus 6.02+/-1.57 microg/mg creatinine, P<0.05; VEGF 210.10+/-69.55 pg/ml versus 255.05+/-88.66 pg/ml) [21].
  • PROBLEM: Interleukin-1 (IL-1) mediated inflammatory processes have been proposed to be involved in the pathogenesis of late unexplained intrauterine fetal death (IUFD) [22].
  • This study was designed to assess if the amniotic fluid concentration of this chemokine identifies patients at risk for spontaneous abortion and/or fetal death [23].
  • It is known that TNF-alpha can cause preterm labor and intrauterine fetal death and that it is upregulated in amniotic fluid samples infected with M. hominis [24].
