The decidua can be divided into two anatomically different parts; the decidua basalis covers the basal plate of the placenta, while the decidua parietalis lines the
fetal membranes. Decidual stromal cells (DSCs) make up the foundation of the connective structures of both decidua basalis and parietalis and have been shown to utilize a specific epigenetic program of gene silencing in order to minimize the attraction of maternal effector T cells in mice [2].
Fetal membrane specimens were taken from another 18 women with preterm PROM but were excluded from the main analysis because these women lacked a chorion laeve.
The
fetal membrane is the structure that surrounds the developing fetus.
Fetal membranes, premature rupture; labor, premature; pregnancy complications; gestational age.
It is to elucidate the host defence mechanism and antimicrobial barriers from the vagina through the cervix,
fetal membrane and amniotic fluid including the early fetal immunocopetence in the second and third trimester of pregnancy.
(1994) recorded that ergometrine injection upto 12 hrs postpartum in cows reduced Retention of
fetal membrane (RFM), reduced incidence of endometritis and improved reproductive efficiency.
Identification of risk factors and peripartum metabollic indicators for retention of
fetal membrane in bovine.
The prolapsed mass was inflammed, edematous, lacerated with necrosis of
fetal membrane. The animal had rapid and weak pulse and respirations, pale mucus membrane, severe depression, anorexic and restlessness.
The uterine horn prolapsed along with
fetal membrane 6-8 hrs after parturition.
