    J Soc Gynecol Investig 13:343-9. 2006
    ..To test the hypothesis that fetal membranes (chorion or amnion) release one or more factors responsible for myometrial quiescence...
  2. ncbi [Under diagnosis of fetal growth restriction by the new growth curves of the Chilean Ministry of Health]
    Jorge A Carvajal
    Departamento de Obstetricia y Ginecologia, Facultad de Medicina, Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, Chile
    Rev Med Chil 135:436-42. 2007
    ..Nationwide implementation of new fetal growth charts, requires a lower fetal weight for the diagnosis of FGR, compared to previous ones. This may lead to an under diagnosis of FGR in a large proportion of neonates...
  3. ncbi Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) produced by the human chorioamnion may mediate pregnancy myometrial quiescence
    Jorge A Carvajal
    Unidad de Medicina Materno Fetal, Departamento de Obstetricia y Ginecologia, Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, Santiago, Chile
    Reprod Sci 16:32-42. 2009
    ..We conclude that locally produced BNP may be involved in generating myometrial quiescence during pregnancy. Further, a premature decrease of BNP production may cause preterm labor...
  4. ncbi Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy: an intriguing pregnancy-specific disorder
    Alfredo M Germain
    Laboratory of Maternal Fetal Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, School of Medicine, Santiago, Chile
    J Soc Gynecol Investig 9:10-4. 2002
    ..To review animal and human data available regarding the etiology, maternal and fetal impact, and treatment of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP)...

    Nicolás M Jofré
    Unidad de Medicina Materno Fetal, División de Obstetricia y Ginecología, Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, Santiago, Chile
    Reprod Sci 20:69-77. 2013
    ..Additionally, our data demonstrate an association between reduced PKCα activity and preterm labor, which merits further investigation...

    Alfredo M Germain
    Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, , Santiago, Chile
    Am J Obstet Gynecol 189:577-82. 2003
    ..CONCLUSION: We demonstrate that during intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, an activation of the oxytocin receptor pathway occurs. This event seems to be the result of a cholic acid-mediated increase in oxytocin-receptor expression...

    Am J Obstet Gynecol 188:84-91. 2003
    ..CONCLUSION: Chorion-induced relaxation of oxytocin-stimulated myometrial contraction is, in great part, the product of a paracrine substance that opens myometrial large conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels...
