Organism diversity between women with and without bacterial vaginosis as determined by polymerase chain reaction denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and 16S rRNA gene sequence.
The aim of this study was to characterize the different structures of microbial communities between 20 healthy women and 17 bacterial vaginosis (BV)-positive women of reproductive age using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). ⋯ The findings indicate further diversity in the category of vaginal microorganisms associated with BV. The presence of Gardnerella vaginalis is not necessary as a sign for gynecologists to determine whether or not a woman is affected by BV.

Prenatal diagnosis and management of vasa previa: a 6-year review.
To evaluate the methods of screening and prenatal diagnosis of vasa previa. ⋯ We consider that the best timing of antenatal screening for vasa previa is the second trimester. Non-reassuring fetal heart rate pattern without other possible causes warrants detailed examination of vasa previa.
