Global Journal of Reproductive Medicine    Juniper Publishers Authored by: Yasmin Neggers* Abstract Viral infections in pregnancy are a major cause of maternal and fetal mortality/morbidity. The viral infections of concern during pregnancy are caused by cytomegalovirus (CMV) rubella virus and herpes simplex virus (HSV). Other viruses now known to cause congenital infections include varicella-zoster virus (VZS), West Nile virus, measles virus, enterovirus, HIV and Zika virus. Also, hepatitis E is important because of its high mortality rate associated with infection during pregnancy. Mortality and morbidity from Cytomegalovirus and varicella -zoster virus are discussed.

Global Journal of Reproductive Medicine    Juniper Publishers Authored by: Tofan Widya Utami*  Abstract Objective:  Natural killer cell (NK-cell) has an important role in tumor immune surveillance. We investigate the NK-cell count and its function in producing IFN-γ on normal cervix, subclinical high risk-HPV (hr-HPV) infection, precancerous lesion, and cervical cancer in order to understand the natural history of uterine cervical cancer. Methods:  This is a descriptive comparative numerical study with more than two unpaired group with total subjects of 40 females who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Samples were gathered from cervical tissue using cytobrush and were processed in the laboratory to calculate NK-cell count and NK-cell expression of IFN-γ by phytahemagglutinin (PHA) stimulation using flowcytometry. Data was analyzed using Kruskal Wallis and post hoc analysis was done to determine the difference between groups. Results:...

Global Journal of Reproductive Medicine    Juniper Publishers Authored by:  Stamatios Petousis,* Short Communication The preparation of both women and men for parenting, known as prenatal care, has an important role in information and treatment about pregnancy, labor, postpartum and neonatal care.

There are Prenatal care Programs throughout the world. The program in Ippokrateio Hospital is one of the largest in Greece and based on ...
