BMS Seminar: What do we know about the biological mechanisms of accreta placentation, Professor Eric Jauniaux Professor in Obstetrics and Fetal Medicine, EGA Institute for Women's Health, University College London聽CSRL seminar room, Clinical Sciences Building, UHCWAbstract: Accreta placentation is an increasingly common obstetric complication with a prevalence directly linked to cesarean section rates. It's pathophysiology has only recently been investigated, and current findings suggest it results from placentation within a uterine scar. Biography: I have worked for over 40 years on placental and fetal development and on the diagnosis and management of placental-related complications of pregnancy. I am the author/co-author of over 500 peer-reviewed original articles and have edited/co-edited 16 books, including Embryonic Medicine & Therapy with Sir Bob Edwards (Nobel Prize in Medicine 2010). I am currently working on the pathophysiology of placenta accreta, a severe complication of pregnancy that follows a cesarean delivery, and the impact of the environment (pollutants and noise) on the human fetus and pregnancy outcomes. |
