Effects of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus on Umbilical Cord Morphology: A Comparative Study [PDF]
Introduction: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) has great effects on umbilical cord gross morphology. Antenatal detection of altered morphology would be helpful to identify the impact of GDM on umbilical cord to reduce fetomaternal complications.

THE PROFILE OF MATRIX METALLOPROTEINASE-9 IN RELATION TO COILING INDEX OF HUMAN UMBILICAL CORD
Background: Fetal blood flow through the umbilical cord vessels associated with abnormal coiling of the cord can have serious deleterious effects on the health of the fetus and newborn.

To evaluate the antenatal umbilical coiling index in second trimester of gestation by sonography and postnatal umbilical coiling index in relation to pregnancy outcome [PDF]
Background: The umbilical cord extends from the fetal umbilicus to the fetal surface of the placenta. Its diameter is 0.8 to 2.0 cm, with an average length of 55 cm and a range of 30 to 100cm. The umbilical cord is the life line of fetus as it supplies water, nutrients and oxygen.

Seasonal distribution of genetic types of planktonic foraminifer morphospecies in the Santa Barbara Channel and its paleoceanographic implications [PDF]
We present data on the temporal distribution of planktonic foraminifer genotypes (small subunit (SSU) ribosomal (r) RNA gene) and morphospecies (sediment traps) collected during 1999 in the Santa Barbara Channel.

Background: Umbilical cord coiling index plays a role in predicting the pregnancy outcome and risk of low birth weight. Endothelin-1 binding sites exist on placental stem villi vessels and trophoblastic layer of the villi.

UMBILICAL COILING INDEX: IS IT A MARKER FOR THE FOETUS AT RISK?
SUMMARY The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the number of coils in the umbilical cord and perinatal outcome. The umbilical cords and delivery records of 147 liveborn neonates were prospectively studied. The umbilical coiling index (UCI) of each cord was calculated by dividing the total number of complete umbilical vascular ...

The umbilical cord has a characteristic coiling pattern with both arteries coiling around the umbilical vein. This architecture is intrinsic to the cord and cannot be undone by unwinding in the opposite direction, unlike torsion.

Coils in Umbilical Cord and their Perinatal Significance in North Indian Population: A Cross-sectional Study [PDF]
Introduction: Umbilical Coiling Index (UCI) is defined as number of coils present per centimeter of cord. Abnormal coiling index (hypocoiled/hypercoiled) has been studied previously and found to be associated with adverse perinatal outcome.
