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 |

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. One such entity is cerebral vasculopathy, an entity characterized b... | Cerebrovascular Disorders; Eclampsia; Puerperal Disorders | 2006-02 |

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, Habitual | 1994-06 |

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.; Jackson, G. Marc | Severe pulmonary hypertension in pregnancy following successful repair of ventricular septal defect in childhood. | BACKGROUND: Because of advances in surgical repair, an increasing number of women born with structural cardiac disease now live to reproductive age. Patients treated successfully in childhood are followed for varying periods of time, then may be lost to follow-up or told that no follow-up is necessa... | Pregnancy Complications, Cardiovascular; Heart Septal Defects, Ventricular; Hypertension, Pulmonary | 1993-10 |

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. METHODS: Amniotic fluid was obtained from women from five different clinical situations: 1) term cesarean delivery, no labor ... | Amniotic Fluid; Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-1; Obstetric Labor, Premature | 1996-01 |

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 eye | Uptake, 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.

Varner, Michael W. | Endotoxin enhancement as a possible etiology of early-onset group B beta-hemolytic streptococcal sepsis in the newborn. | Group B streptococcal cells, either viable or heat-killed, contain a substance that induced fever in rabbits with maximal responses occurring four hours after intravenous injection. In contrast, supernatant fluids failed to induce significant fever. Group B streptococcal cells also enhanced host sus... | Newborns; Endotoxins; Group B Beta-Hemolytic Streptococcal Sepsis | 1983-05 |

Digre, Kathleen B.; Kleinschmidt, Julia J.; Hanover, Rita | Idiopathic intracranial hypertension. Relationship to depression, anxiety, and quality of life | OBJECTIVE: To explore the incidence of depression and anxiety and to measure quality of life in women with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), a matched group cross-sectional study was conducted. Women with IIH (n = 28) were compared with control groups of weight- and age-matched women not d... | Intracranial Hypertension; Depression; Anxiety; Quality of Life | 2000-01-25 |

Varner, Michael W.; Digre, Kathleen B. | Pseudotumor cerebri and pregnancy. | Pseudotumor cerebri (PTC) is most commonly seen in obese women of reproductive age. We studied 109 women with PTC between ages 16 and 44 years. In 11, PTC started during pregnancy. Thirteen women with previous diagnosis of PTC, including two of the aforementioned 11, had an additional 17 documented ... | Pregnancy Complications; Pseudotumor Cerebri; Vision disorders; Headache; Intracranial Pressure | 1984-06 |

Varner, Michael W.; Clark, Edward B.; Fernando, Kumari L.; Mathews, V. John | Robust estimation of fetal heart rate variability using Doppler ultrasound. | This paper presents a new measure of heart rate variability (HRV) that can be estimated using Doppler ultrasound techniques and is robust to variations in the angle of incidence of the ultrasound beam and the measurement noise. This measure employs the multiple signal characterization (MUSIC) algori... | Prenatal Ultrasonography; Fetal Heart Rate; Blood Flow Velocity; Algorithms | 2003-08 |

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; Pregnancy | 2007-01-25 |

Varner, Michael W. | Physiologic changes in pregnancy: surgical implications. | Pregnancy has measurable effects on essentially every organ system in a woman's body. An understanding of these changes is vital for determining what is normal or abnormal in a pregnant woman. These changes frequently alter symptoms and signs of surgical diseases during pregnancy. In addition, ma... | Pregnancy; Physiologic Changes; Surgical Implications | 1994-06 |
