Prenatal stress and hemodynamics in pregnancy: a systematic review [PDF]
, 2016 Maternal prenatal stress is associated with preterm birth, intrauterine growth restriction, and developmental delay. However, the impact of prenatal stress on hemodynamics during pregnancy remains unclear. This systematic review was conducted in order to

De‐novo abnormal uteroplacental circulation in third trimester: pregnancy outcome and pathological implications [PDF]
, 2018 Objective Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are associated with impaired placentation, as evidenced by abnormal uterine artery (UtA) Doppler. In normal pregnancy, mean UtA pulsatility index (PI) shows a progressive decline with gestational age ...

The relationship between maternal placental growth factor levels and intrapartum fetal compromise [PDF]
, 2016 Introduction Whilst some cases of intrapartum fetal compromise are the result of unpredictable catastrophic events, the majority arise from an unrecognised reduction in feto-placental reserve in otherwise healthy pregnancies.

Color doppler indices of proximal and distal parts of middle cerebral artery in fetuses with intrauterine growth restriction. [PDF]
, 2017 INTRODUCTION Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a major clinical issue for pregnant women. The purpose of this study was to evaluate color Doppler indices of the proximal and distal parts of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) of the fetus ...
