Effects of BMZ on adrenocortical mRNA levels for P450scc (A), StAR (B) and ACTH Receptor (C) in maternal (left) and pooled fetal (right) adrenals. Results are from n= 6-7 replicates in each …

Our primary goal was to determine if the IVH lowering effects of BMZ might be time-limited, because this would increase the risk that a severe IVH might occur if an infant delivered more …

Apr 7, 2016 · We designed a randomized trial to assess whether the administration of betamethasone to women who are likely to deliver in the late preterm period would decrease …

Study infants were divided into 2 groups depending on the interval from the first dose of BMZ to delivery (BMZ-to-delivery-interval), namely group A (24 hours to 9 days) with n=290 neonates …

Betamethasone and dexamethasone are the most widely studied corticosteroids, and they generally have been preferred for antenatal treatment to accelerate fetal organ maturation. …

Purpose: Administration of maternal betamethasone (BMZ) is a therapeutic option for fetuses with large microcystic congenital lung lesions at risk for, or causing, hydrops. Not all fetuses …

Objective: To evaluate the effects of a single rescue dose of antenatal betamethasone after an initial single course on the frequency of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome and perinatal …

Our analysis supports the concept that the optimal timing of benefit for BMZ is greater than 48 hours of administration. Although the standard regimen for late preterm birth (LPTB) antenatal …

Objective: Review the latency period after betamethasone (BMZ) for pregnancies complicated by hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). Study design: A retrospective chart review of …

Study design: A total of 429 infants (<28 weeks gestation), who delivered ≥24 hours after the first betamethasone (BMZ) course (2 doses), were divided into groups based on the interval …
