1 Frederick, Jeanne M.; Thulin, Craig; Bernstein, Paul S.Identification and characterization of a Pi isoform of glutathione S-transferase (GSTP1) as a zeaxanthin-binding protein in the macula of the human eyeUptake, metabolism, and stabilization of xanthophyll carotenoids in the retina are thought to be mediated by specific xanthophyll-binding proteins (XBPs). A membrane-associated XBP was purified from human macula using ion-exchange chromatography followed by gel-exclusion chromatography. Two-dimensio...Circular Dichroism; Isoelectric Focusing; Macula Lutea; Xanthophylls2004
2 Varner, Michael W.Elevations of amniotic fluid macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha concentrations in women during term and preterm labor.OBJECTIVE: To determine whether elevated concentrations of macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha (MIP-1 alpha) in amniotic fluid (AF) are related to term and preterm labor.

5 Varner, Michael W.hPL: physiologic and pathophysiologic observations.Serum human placental lactogen (hPL) levels were studied in 806 women in late pregnancy. The hPL levels were positively correlated with birth weight but were unrelated to maternal age, parity, socioeconomic status, or the sex of the newborn. The hPL levels peaked at 37 weeks' gestation and then decl...hPL; Pregnancy Complications; Pregnancy, Multiple; Infant, Newborn; Birth Weight1979-08
6 Varner, Michael W.Reduction in amniocentesis risks using a real-time needle guide procedure.Rates of complications associated with a second trimester genetic amniocentesis were studied in 918 patients, and complete infant follow-up was obtained. In 903 singleton pregnancies and 15 twin gestations, the procedure was performed under continuous sector scanning guidance through an attached nee...Amniocentesis; Ultrasonography; Pregnancy2007-01-25
7 Varner, Michael W.Risk of uterine rupture with a trial of labor in women with multiple and single prior cesarean delivery.OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the risk for uterine rupture is increased in women attempting vaginal birth after multiple cesarean deliveries. METHODS: We conducted a prospective multicenter observational study of women with prior cesarean delivery undergoing trial of labor and elective repeat oper...Cesarean Section, Repeat; Uterine Rupture; Vaginal Birth after Cesarean; Obstetric Labor Complications/surgery2006-07
8 Varner, Michael W.Abnormal pregnancy sonogram: selective indication for fetal karyotype.The inability to make a definitive diagnosis in the fetus with a sonographically identified abnormality often results in parental and physician uncertainty. An antenatal chromosome evaluation could resolve this uncertainty. Forty-one fetuses with an abnormal ultrasound examination were tested for ka...Chromosome Disorders; Pregnancy; Karyotyping; Abnormalities; Amniocentesis1987-01

10 Varner, Michael W.; Porter T. FlintRisk of preterm birth across generations.OBJECTIVE: To examine the risk of preterm birth for mothers who themselves were born before term. METHODS: Data were taken from a linked data base of birth certificates composed of two cohorts: 1) a parental cohort of women born between 1947 and 1957 and 2) their offspring born between 1970 and 1992...Preterm mothers; Pregnancy; Premature; Risk1997-07
11 Varner, Michael W.Does progesterone treatment influence risk factors for recurrent preterm delivery?OBJECTIVE: To examine how demographic and pregnancy characteristics can affect the risk of recurrent preterm delivery and the how the effectiveness of progesterone treatment for prevention alters these relationships. METHODS: This was a secondary analysis of a randomized trial of 17alpha-hydroxyprog...Preterm Delivery; Progesterone Treatment; Pregnancy; Risk Factors2005-09
12 Varner, Michael W.Decision-to-incision times and maternal and infant outcomes.OBJECTIVE: To measure decision-to-incision intervals and related maternal and neonatal outcomes in a cohort of women undergoing emergency cesarean deliveries at multiple university-based hospitals comprising the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Maternal-Fetal Medicine Units N...Cesarean Section; Fetal Distress; Outcome Assessment; Fetal Distress2006-07
13 Varner, Michael W.Complications of anesthesia for cesarean delivery.OBJECTIVE: To quantify anesthesia-related complications associated with cesarean delivery in a well-described, prospectively ascertained cohort from multiple university-based hospitals in the United States and to evaluate whether certain factors would identify women at increased risk for a failed re...Cesarean Section; Complications of Anesthesia2005-08
14 Varner, Michael W.; Hatasaka, Harry H.Recurrent pregnancy loss.Recurrent pregnancy loss is a frustrating clinical dilemma for both patients and physicians because, in most cases, causes are nebulous and few treatments with proven benefit can be offered. Involved, expensive tests have frequently been proposed and their use has often filtered into clinical practi...Recurrent Pregnancy Loss; Uterus/abnormalities; Chromosome Disorders; Abortion, Habitual1994-06
15 Varner, Michael W.Serial salivary estriol to detect an increased risk of preterm birth.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate serial measurements of salivary estriol (E3) to detect increased risk of spontaneous preterm labor and preterm birth. METHODS: A masked, prospective, multicenter trial of 956 women with singleton pregnancies was completed at eight United States medical centers.
