Afterbirth


Definition:

  • (n.) The placenta and membranes with which the fetus is connected, and which come away after delivery.

Example Sentences:

  • (12) There was no significant increase of afterbirth complications following abruptio placentae and abortus, whereas there are partly statistically significant differences in the incidence of surgery reauired in children of normal weight of underweight.
  • (13) Practical problems (with possible medicolegal implications) regarding the interpretation of the completeness of the afterbirth are discussed.
  • (14) The present studies further tested the generalizability of the POEF effect: they examined sex specificity of the mechanism; whether POEF activity exists in afterbirth material of species other than the rat; whether POEF activity exists in tissue other than afterbirth material; whether POEF activity could be demonstrated after injection rather than ingestion of afterbirth material; and whether POEF enhances all opioid-mediated phenomena.
  • (15) Suspensions were prepared from the four samples of material, obtained either from the placentae and afterbirths of the aborting ewes or from the tissues of the aborted foetuses.
  • (16) 2176 vaginal deliveries at Jena University Hospital were selected at random to check whether in these patients it is possible to establish the connection postulated by some authors between preceding premature termination of pregnancy and the mass incidence of afterbirth haemorrhages, as well as of necessary surgery in the afterbirth phase.
  • (17) Membrane-associated proteins (MPs) of the human term placenta (afterbirth) were obtained by extracting the insoluble part of the tissue with solubilizing agents, after the soluble material had been removed by washing with saline.
  • (18) Two major consequences of placentophagia, the ingestion of afterbirth materials that occurs usually during mammalian parturition, have been uncovered in the past several years.
  • (19) Grewia bicolor is a small tree, parts of which are used in Sudanese traditional medicine for treating pustulent skin lesions, internally on indication of a delayed afterbirth and sometimes as a tranquilizer.
  • (20) In the group of newborns with leucocytic infiltrations present in the afterbirth, bacteraemia, left-shift of the differential white blood cell count, and decreased platelet count were more frequent.
