Pan African Medical Journal, 2020 A 30-year-old primiparous woman underwent routine nuchal translucency scan at 12+1 weeks of gestation. A possible amniotic band with entrapment of the upper limbs and the umbilical cord was noted. Amniotic bands or constriction rings may obstruct vascular and lymph supply and cause deformity, amputation or even intrauterine death. The exact etiology is

Spontaneous resolution of amniotic bands [PDF]
Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2001 AbstractThe amniotic band syndrome comprises a group of sporadic congenital anomalies characterized by amputations, constriction bands, pseudosyndactylism and multiple craniofacial, visceral and body wall defects. It occurs in approximately 1 in 1200 to 1 in 15 000 live births.

Indian Journal of Surgery, 2012 Amniotic band syndrome is an uncommon congenital disorder without any genetic or hereditary disposition. It involves fetal entrapment in strands of amniotic tissue and causes an array of deletions and deformations. Primary treatment is plastic and reconstructive surgery after birth with in utero fetal surgery also coming in vogue.

Ethmocephaly with amniotic band syndrome
Middle East African Journal of Ophthalmology, 2012 Ethmocephaly is the rarest form of holoprosencephaly, which occurs due to an incomplete cleavage of the forebrain. Clinically, the disease presents with a proboscis, hypotelorism, microphthalmos and malformed ears. Amniotic band syndrome is another rare congenital malformation with ring-like constriction bands in the limbs, head, face or trunk.

Amniotic Band Disruption Sequence [PDF]
Medical Journal Armed Forces India, 2009 A disruption of limb vasculature after the period of embryonic development can result in structural anomalies. This disruption can be due to tangled strands of amnion that encircle embryonic structures, placental emboli or death of a monozygotic twin [1]. Up to 50% of cases have other congenital anomalies including cleft lip, cleft palate, and clubfoot

Using Synthetic Glycans to Investigate Anti‐Glycan Antibodies and Explore Their Medical Potential
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.Anti‐glycan antibodies are essential in health and disease. Access to novel glycan structures paves the way for progress in antibody profiling for biomarker discovery, antibody development, and vaccine design. We summarize the strategies to synthesize and utilize synthetic glycans for the development and application of anti‐glycan antibodies in basic ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract A recent debate has emerged between Caspar et al. (2024) and Herculano‐Houzel (2023) on inferring extinct dinosaur cognition by estimating brain neuron counts. While thought‐provoking, the discussion largely overlooks the function of cognition, as well as partly neglects the difficulties involved in estimating neuron numbers, which according ...

Characterization of the extracellular matrix from human and dog umbilical cords
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The extracellular matrix is important for maintaining tissue morphogenesis and homeostasis; it can also be used as a biomaterial for the production of biological scaffolds. Particularly, the umbilical cord has shown potential in the production of scaffolds for small‐diameter vessels.
