Placenta Accreta
|
D010921 |
[Invasion of CHORIONIC VILLI occurs through the MYOMETRIUM penetrating the uterine SEROSA.
, Invasion of CHORIONIC VILLI occurs deep into the MYOMETRIUM.
, Abnormal placentation in which all or parts of the PLACENTA are attached directly to the MYOMETRIUM due to a complete or partial absence of DECIDUA. It is associated with POSTPARTUM HEMORRHAGE because of the failure of placental separation.

Placenta Diseases
|
D010922 |
[Pathological processes or abnormal functions of the PLACENTA.

|
Placenta Growth Factor
|
D000072483 |
[An angiogenic protein belonging to the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor family of growth factors originally isolated and cloned from human placental cDNA library. There are four isoforms of PLGF 1-4 which result from alternative splicing. Placenta Growth Factor is secreted as a glycosylated homodimer which acts as a mitogen for endothelial cells, and its expression is markedly upregulated during hypoxia and in tissue inflammation and cancer.

|
Placenta Previa
|
D010923 |
[Abnormal placentation in which the PLACENTA implants in the lower segment of the UTERUS (the zone of dilation) and may cover part or all of the opening of the CERVIX. It is often associated with serious antepartum bleeding and PREMATURE LABOR.
] |
|
Placenta, Retained
|
D018457 |
[A placenta that fails to be expelled after BIRTH of the FETUS. A PLACENTA is retained when the UTERUS fails to contract after the delivery of its content, or when the placenta is abnormally attached to the MYOMETRIUM.
] |
|
Placental Circulation
|
D021041 |
[The circulation of blood through the fetus, umbilical cord and placenta on the fetal side.
, The circulation of BLOOD, of both the mother and the FETUS, through the PLACENTA.
, The circulation of blood through the uterus and placenta on the maternal side.

Placental Extracts
|
D010924 |
[Extracts prepared from placental tissue; they may contain specific but uncharacterized factors or proteins with specific activities.

Placental Function Tests
|
D010925 |
[Methods used for the assessment of placental function.

|
Placental Hormones
|
D010926 |
[Hormones produced by the placenta include CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN, and PLACENTAL LACTOGEN as well as steroids (ESTROGENS; PROGESTERONE), and neuropeptide hormones similar to those found in the hypothalamus (HYPOTHALAMIC HORMONES).
] |
|
Placental Insufficiency
|
D010927 |
[Failure of the PLACENTA to deliver an adequate supply of nutrients and OXYGEN to the FETUS.
] |
|
Placental Lactogen
|
D010928 |
[A polypeptide hormone of approximately 25 kDa that is produced by the SYNCYTIOTROPHOBLASTS of the PLACENTA, also known as chorionic somatomammotropin. It has both GROWTH HORMONE and PROLACTIN activities on growth, lactation, and luteal steroid production. In women, placental lactogen secretion begins soon after implantation and increases to 1 g or more a day in late pregnancy. Placental lactogen is also an insulin antagonist.

|
Placentation
|
D010929 |
[The development of the PLACENTA, a highly vascularized mammalian fetal-maternal organ and major site of transport of oxygen, nutrients, and fetal waste products between mother and FETUS. The process begins at FERTILIZATION, through the development of CYTOTROPHOBLASTS and SYNCYTIOTROPHOBLASTS, the formation of CHORIONIC VILLI, to the progressive increase in BLOOD VESSELS to support the growing fetus.

Placozoa
|
D054909 |
[A phylum of primitive invertebrate animals that exemplify a simple body organization. Trichoplax adhaerens is considered a key species for early metazoan evolution.

Plagiarism
|
D015714 |
[Passing off as one's own the work of another without credit.

|
Plagiocephaly
|
D059041 |
[The condition characterized by uneven or irregular shape of the head often in parallelogram shape with a flat spot on the back or one side of the head. It can either result from the premature CRANIAL SUTURE closure (CRANIOSYNOSTOSIS) or from external forces (NONSYNOSTOTIC PLAGIOCEPHALY).
] |
|
Plagiocephaly, Nonsynostotic
|
D049068 |
[A deformity of the SKULL that is not due to bone fusion (SYNOSTOSIS), such as craniosynostoses, and is characterized by an asymmetric skull and face. It is observed with an increased frequency in INFANTS after the adoption of supine sleeping recommendations to prevent SUDDEN INFANT DEATH SYNDROME.

|
Plague
|
D010930 |
[An acute infectious disease caused by YERSINIA PESTIS that affects humans, wild rodents, and their ectoparasites. This condition persists due to its firm entrenchment in sylvatic rodent-flea ecosystems throughout the world. Bubonic plague is the most common form.
] |
|
Plague Vaccine
|
D010931 |
[A suspension of killed Yersinia pestis used for immunizing people in enzootic plague areas.

|
Plakins
|
D051179 |
[A family of related proteins that associate with cytoskeletal elements and junctional complexes at INTERCELLULAR JUNCTIONS. Plakins share a common plakin domain or a plakin repeat domain.

|
Plakophilins
|
D051191 |
[Members of the armadillo family of proteins that are found in DESMOSOMES and interact with various proteins including desmocadherins; DESMOPLAKIN; ACTIN FILAMENTS; and KERATINS.
