AbstractIntrapartum fever (IPF) (≥ 38.0 °C), if treated inappropriately, can lead to maternal bacteremia. In a cohort of women with IPF, we investigated perinatal, obstetrical, and microbiological outcomes, comparing those with bacteremia to those with negative blood cultures. A retrospective cohort study at a tertiary hospital (2010–2022) focused on women attempting vaginal delivery who were diagnosed with IPF. Outcomes were compared between those with bacteremia vs. negative blood cultures.

To evaluate urinary activated leucocyte cell adhesion molecule (ALCAM) and CD6 as predictors of lupus nephritis (LN) progression or disease resolution across a 1-year study. Serum and urine samples from biopsy proven LN subjects (n = 122) were prospectively collected over the course of a year at 3- or 6-month intervals (weeks 0, 12, 26, and 52) across multiple study sites and assessed for soluble ALCAM and CD6 levels.

AbstractThere is limited and inconsistent evidence that imply a relationship between ABO blood types and rate of preterm birth (PTB). We aim to examine the association between maternal ABO blood group and PTB rate. A retrospective-study conducted at a university teaching institution on data collected between 2013 and 2019. Women who delivered a viable neonate at ≥ 24 weeks without major malformations were included. Indicated PTBs were excluded.

The experimental groups of interest included MRL/lpr lupus mice (Jackson Laboratory, #000485) and age-and-sex matched congenic control MRL/mpj mice (Jackson Laboratory, #000486). Additionally, we studied il6−/− homozygous knockout MRL/lpr (IL-6 KO) mice and il6+/+ homozygous MRL/lpr control littermates (IL-6 WT). The former strain was originally generated by our collaborators at the University of Mainz [65].
