Human Decidual Spiral Arterial Studies

Changes in the nitric oxide‐soluble guanylate cyclase system and natriuretic peptide receptor system in placentas of pregnant Dahl salt‐sensitive rats

“…Harvested placentas from pregnant rats (NrS or HS group) were placed in Zamboni's fixative solution, dehydrated, paraffin embedded, sectioned, and stained with hematoxylin–eosin (HE) or Mallory‐Azan staining …”

The Significance of Placental Infarction in Perinatal Morbidity and Mortality

“…There is, in toxaemia and hypertension, evidence of widespread disease in the uteroplacental arterial systems of many placentae [7,22,38,64]. Widespread thrombosis of maternal arterioles probably only occurs against a background of such vascular disease and it is unlikely that, in the absence of a retroplacental haematoma, extensive infarction can occur in a placenta that has a normal vascular supply.…”
