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; Amniocentesis | 1987-01 |

Varner, Michael W. | Cerebral vasculopathies masquerading as eclampsia. | Obstetricians know that preeclampsia-eclampsia is a syndrome and is a final common pathway for multiple causes. It is also possible that other conditions, not always directly related to pregnancy, can mimic preeclampsia-eclampsia.

Varner, Michael W. | Elevated second-trimester maternal serum hCG: a marker of inadequate angiogenesis. | OBJECTIVE: To measure angiogenin, a potent inducer of neovascularization and interleukin-6, as an indicator of acute inflammation, in second-trimester amniotic fluid of patients with elevated maternal serum hCG. METHODS: In this case-control study, 20 patients with elevated maternal serum hCG (at le... | Angiogenesis Inducing Agents; Interleukin-6; Pregnancy Complications; hCG | 1998-04 |

Varner, Michael W. | Episiotomy: techniques and indications. | In current obstetric practice episiotomy is generally taken to refer to an incision of the perineum and vagina to facilitate vaginal delivery. While the most precise definition of this incision is perineotomy, episiotomy is the generally employed terminology and thus is used in this article.

Moon, Ann M.; Capecchi, Mario R. | Fgf8 is required for outgrowth and patterning of the limbs. | The expression pattern and activity of fibroblast growth factor-8 (FGF8) in experimental assays indicate that it has important roles in limb development, but early embryonic lethality resulting from mutation of Fgf8 in the germ line of mice has prevented direct assessment of these roles. Here we rep... | Animals; Body Patterning; Bone Morphogenetic Proteins; Ectoderm | 2000-12-26 |

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 Weight | 1979-08 |
