Abstract: Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) is common in preterm births. Fetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS) is present in nearly 50% of PPROM cases. We created a risk score to predict FIRS using maternal factors… read more here.

Abstract: Macrophages are commonly thought to contribute to the pathophysiology of preterm labor by amplifying inflammation — but a protective role has not previously been considered to our knowledge. We hypothesized that given their antiinflammatory capability… read more here.
