PIPPI2021: An Approach to Automated Diagnosis and Texture Analysis of the Fetal Liver & Placenta in Fetal Growth Restriction [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a prevalent pregnancy condition characterised by failure of the fetus to reach its genetically predetermined growth potential. We explore the application of model fitting techniques, linear regression machine learning models, deep learning regression, and Haralick textured features from multi-contrast MRI for multi ...

Quantifying the impact of tissue metabolism on solute transport in feto-placental microvascular networks [PDF]
Interface Focus 9 (2019) 20190021, 2019 The primary exchange units in the human placenta are terminal villi, in which fetal capillary networks are surrounded by a thin layer of villous tissue, separating fetal from maternal blood. To understand how the complex spatial structure of villi influences their function, we use an image-based theoretical model to study the effect of tissue ...

Rheology of Fetal and Maternal Blood [PDF]
Pediatric Research, 1985 Rheological parameters were measured in 10 pairs of mothers and newborns. Whole blood viscosity was similar despite a higher fetal hematocrit (47.0 +/- 5.1 versus 35.5 +/- 12.0%, mean +/- SD, p less than 0.05). When the hematocrit of the suspension of red cells in plasma was adjusted to 45%, the viscosity was significantly lower in the fetal blood over

Animal models of fetal growth restriction: Considerations for translational medicine. [PDF]
, 2015 Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is the failure of a fetus to reach its full genetic growth potential. It occurs in up to 8% of pregnancies, and after premature birth is the second leading cause of infant mortality and morbidity.

A design for investigating the association of birth weight, weight change during life course with adult hypertension in Hong Kong women [PDF]
, 2009 Poster Presentation: P-6A-270"Fetal origins hypothesis" by Barker in 1990 is a well known hypothesis. One of the key finding was that low birth weight was associated with higher adult systolic blood pressure.
