Amniotic fluid alpha-fetoprotein was compared to each type of adverse outcome. No significant association with a poor pregnancy outcome in later gestation was noted. Although serum alpha-fetoprotein in the midt
pregnancy complicationSubchorionic hematoma might be associated with poor pregnancy outcome. Two intra cytoplasmic sperm injection pregnancies complicated with subchorionic hematoma were found to have elevated mid-trimester maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein levels. One of them had miscarriage at 16 weeks'' ...
Alpha-fetoprotein screening in large scale use implies certain practical consequences in obstetric practice as e.g. performance of a number of control assays in maternal serum (MS-AFP), amniocentesis and ultrasonic examinations. Considerable regional differences were observed in the incidences of ...
Maternal serum-alpha-fetoprotein (A.F.P.) levels were compared throughout pregnancy in women bearing fetuses with severe neural-tube defects and in control women. From the second trimester onwards, the former group had higher levels than the controls, but the difference was not always clear-cut...
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) has been estimated in 358 specimens of amniotic fluid from 221 pregnancies terminating in the delivery of a normal infant and in the amniotic fluid from 21 pregnancies in which the fetus turned out to have a neural tube defect. When the fetus had a neural tube defect...
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) has been recognized as a key regulator of cell proliferation in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, whether AFP functions in cancer cell autophagy remains unknown. This study investigated the effects of AFP on autophagy in HCC cells. The role of AFP was studied in ...
What is Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP)? Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a major carcinoembryonic proteinproduced by the liver and the yolk sac during fetallife. Since blood AFP levelsare elevatedin more than 70% of hepatocellular carcinoma patients, it is considered a representative marker for this disease....
