Clinical Utility of Nuchal Translucency Measurement in First‐Trimester Ultrasound Screening in a Setting With First‐Tier NIPT for Aneuploidy Screening

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the additional clinical value of nuchal translucency (NT) measurement at the first‐trimester anomaly scan (FTAS) in a setting with first‐tier non‐invasive prenatal testing (NIPT). Method This nationwide prospective cohort study, part of the IMITAS study on FTAS implementation, included all pregnancies with increased NT

Pressure‐dependent coupling between arterial pressure and intercostal muscle blood‐flow index during acute hypotension in humans

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Regulation of respiratory muscle blood flow during acute systemic hypotension remains poorly understood in humans because continuous assessment of microvascular perfusion during rapid haemodynamic transients has been technically challenging. Using diffuse correlation spectroscopy, we investigated second‐by‐second coupling between mean arterial

Cannabinoid exposure during pregnancy: Cardiorespiratory effects and offspring outcomes

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Prenatal exposure to cannabinoids has been investigated across human and animal studies to understand its impact on physiological development. Evidence suggests that early‐life cannabinoid exposure influence multiple developmental processes, extending beyond neurodevelopmental outcomes to potentially affect placental function ...
