Balance Between Maternal Antiviral Response and Placental Transfer of Protectio...
Gonçalves, J; Melro, M; Alenquer, M; Araújo, C; Castro-Neves, J; Amaral-Silva, D; Ferreira, F; Ramalho, JS; Charepe, N; Serrano, F; Pontinha, CThe intricate interplay between maternal immune response to SARS-CoV-2 and the transfer of protective factors to the fetus remains unclear. By analyzing mother-neonate dyads from second and third trimester SARS-CoV-2 infections, our study shows that neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) are infrequently detected in cord blood. We uncovered that this is due to impaired IgG-NAb placental transfer in symptomatic infectio...
Left Ovarian Vein Thrombophlebitis in the Postpartum Period
Lopes-Casal, R; Saavedra-Rocha, I; Serrano, F; Djokovic, DAssessment of abdominal pain in puerperal women can be challenging given that physiological and often self-limited benign causes predominate in this clinical context, although the etiological spectrum is wide and includes serious and potentially fatal causes. The paper presents a case of left ovarian thrombophlebitis, clinically manifested from the fifth day of puerperium in a 30-year-old patient. Clinicians sh...

Adaptive Filtering for the Maternal Respiration Signal Attenuation in the Uteri...
Martins, D; Batista, A; Mouriño, H; Russo, S; Esgalhado, F; dos Reis, C; Serrano, F; Ortigueira, MThe electrohysterogram (EHG) is the uterine muscle electromyogram recorded at the abdominal surface of pregnant or non-pregnant woman. The maternal respiration electromyographic signal (MR-EMG) is one of the most relevant interferences present in an EHG. Alvarez (Alv) waves are components of the EHG that have been indicated as having the potential for preterm and term birth prediction. The MR-EMG component in t...
A Preliminary Exploration of the Placental Position Influence on Uterine Electr...
Şan, M; Batista, A; Russo, S; Esgalhado, F; Palma dos Reis, C; Serrano, F; Ortigueira, MThe uterine electromyogram, also called electrohysterogram (EHG), is the electrical signal generated by uterine contractile activity. The EHG has been considered an expanding technique for pregnancy monitoring and preterm risk evaluation. Data were collected on the abdominal surface. It has been speculated the effect of the placenta location on the characteristics of the EHG. In this work, a preliminary explora...

The fetal origins of disease: a prospective cohort study on the association of ...
Palma dos Reis, CR; Serrano, F; Fonseca, MJ; Martins, AT; Campos, A; McMahon, GM; Barros, HCardiovascular diseases are the main cause of mortality worldwide, and childhood excess weight/obesity are strong correlators of accumulated risk in later life. A relationship between maternal preeclampsia and offspring’s childhood obesity is recognized, but most studies fail to control for strong confounders. Our goal is to analyze the association between preeclampsia and childhood excess weight/obesity, after...

Alvarez Waves in Pregnancy: a Comprehensive Review
Russo, S; Batista, A; Esgalhado, F; Palma dos Reis, C; Serrano, F; Vassilenko, V; Ortigueira, MAlvarez waves are local rhythmic contractions of the myometrium with high frequency and low intensity. They can be detected using internal or external tocography and electrohysterography. Some researchers correlate these small contractions with the initiation of labor, since they have been described as a pattern representing the uterine response to prostaglandin production. Other authors either do not validate ...
