Connective tissue diseases and autoimmune thyroid disorders in the first trimester of pregnancy
Thyroid disorders, defined as hormonal abnormalities or the presence of thyroid antibodies against thyroglobulin (TG-a), thyroid peroxidase (TPO-a), or thyrotropin receptor autoantigens (TR-a), are common pregnancy-related diseases, present in almost 2.7% of all pregnant women (Baba and Azar, 2012). They are associated to adverse obstetric outcomes, such as spontaneous abortion, fetal death, fetal growth restriction, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes and preterm delivery (Saki et al., 2014). Autoimmune thyroid disorders are frequently associated with other organ and non-organ-specific autoimmune diseases, including autoim...

Promotion of angiogenesis and proliferation cytokines patterns in peritoneal fluid from women with endometriosis
Endometriosis is a common and sometimes debilitating condition for women of reproductive age (Giudice and Kao, 2004). It is defined as the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus also called endometriotic implants (Kennedy et al., 2005). Although multiple theories exist regarding the etiology of endometriosis, the implantation hypothesis is the most commonly accepted (Sampson, 1927). Shed endometrial fragments are believed to adhere to peritoneal surfaces, proliferate and invade deeply into the subperitoneal space. (Source: Journal of Reproductive Immunology)

Maternal plasma levels of complement Factor H in miscarriage and in normal pregnancy: A cohort study
Miscarriage is the spontaneous loss of a conceptus before 20 weeks’ gestation (Branch et al., 2010). The incidence of clinically recognizable miscarriage in general population is up to 15%, but it may be up to 60% if chemical pregnancies are considered (Regan and Rai, 2000).
