We are looking forward to seeing all of you at @LondonPTB2025 sign up to our lovely dinner cruise alongside your conference tickets on preterm conference.com don't delay! @OBSevidence @crustymcrusty @PrenatalTherapy

Great work from @hope_blocksidge looking at the longer term impact of #pregnancyafterloss @beckybarron86 frontiersin.org/journals/psych…

dx.doi.org/10.1111/1471-0… We can detect changes in the placenta prior to preterm birth using T2* on MRI indicating chorioamnionitis.

journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/a… We found that for women who develop a short cervix (all comers), cerclage, pessary, & vaginal progesterone were equally efficacious at preventing PTB. I really think we need to be more discerning in who receives & benefits from these interventions.

doi.org/10.1111/1471-0… Placental diffusion-relaxation reveals significant changes in the placenta prior to preterm birth….. Application of this technique may allow clinically valuable interrogation of histopathological changes before preterm birth and aid management.

Our biomarkers will include Actim Partus to be introduced soon  (we are also developing a quantitative version with Actim) and other measures of cervical stiffness (Pregnolia). Please do retweet.

Our latest study reveals changes in the placental transcriptome linked to gastroschisis. These changes might indicate the placenta sensing fetal distress or genetic or environmental factors predisposing to gastroschisis.

Absolutely a fabulous opportunity and amazing mentors!
