We can detect changes in the placenta prior to preterm birth using T2* on MRI indicating chorioamnionitis.

[Andrew H Shennan OBE @OBSevidence]

https://t.co/QXzXEIrrbb We found that for women who develop a short cervix (all comers), cerclage, pessary, & vaginal progesterone were equally efficacious at preventing PTB. I really think we need to be more discerning in who receives & benefits from these interventions.

https://t.co/xJbrfdsoE6 Placental diffusion-relaxation reveals significant changes in the placenta prior to preterm birth….. Application of this technique may allow clinically valuable interrogation of histopathological changes before preterm birth and aid management.

[Andrew H Shennan OBE @OBSevidence]

Our biomarkers will include Actim Partus to be introduced soon  (we are also developing a quantitative version with Actim) and other measures of cervical stiffness (Pregnolia). Please do retweet.

Our latest study reveals changes in the placental transcriptome linked to gastroschisis. These changes might indicate the placenta sensing fetal distress or genetic or environmental factors predisposing to gastroschisis.

Important follow-up ALPS data with excellent editorial. The issue of antenatal steroids in late preterm deliveries remains thorny.

UK Perinatologists who want to help resolve the Q for late preterm twins, consider @Stoppit3Study

Adrenal:body vol ratios significantly larger in fetuses who go on to deliver preterm. Adrenal volumes were not significantly larger, ? due to fulminating chorioamnionitis. Adrenal volumes: An MRI pilot study - Hall - 2024 - Acta O - Wiley Online Library https://t.co/j1AQfaPLaK
