Recasting Current Knowledge of Human Fetal Circulation: The Importance of Computational Models [PDF]
Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2023 Computational hemodynamic simulations are becoming increasingly important for cardiovascular research and clinical practice, yet incorporating numerical simulations of human fetal circulation is relatively underutilized and underdeveloped.

The Effect of External Cephalic Version on Fetal Circulation: A Prospective Cohort Study [PDF]
Children, 2023 External cephalic version (ECV) is a cost-effective and safe treatment option for breech presentation at term. Following ECV, fetal well-being is assessed via a non-stress test (NST). An alternative option to identify signs of fetal compromise is via the

Persistent fetal circulation [PDF]
Paediatrics & Child Health, 2001 Persistent fetal circulation (PFC), also known as persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn, is defined as postnatal persistence of right-to-left ductal or atrial shunting, or both in the presence of elevated right ventricular pressure. It is a relatively rare condition that is usually seen in newborns with respiratory distress syndrome ...

Quantitative effects of tobacco smoking exposure on the maternal-fetal circulation [PDF]
BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2011 BackgroundDespite the existence of various published studies regarding the effects of tobacco smoking on pregnancy, and especially in regards to placental blood flow and vascular resistance, some points still require clarification.

Fetal Cerebral Blood Flow (Dys)autoregulation [PDF]
DiagnosticsBackground: As an extremely sensitive organ, particularly during in utero development, the brain has intrinsic systems to reduce the risk of cerebral damage in cases of insult, such as energy deprivation, due to a mechanism of positive balance in ...

The Male Fetal Biomarker INSL3 Reveals Substantial Hormone Exchange between Fetuses in Early Pig Gestation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The peptide hormone INSL3 is uniquely produced by the fetal testis to promote the transabdominal phase of testicular descent. Because it is fetal sex specific, and is present in only very low amounts in the maternal circulation, INSL3 acts as an ideal ...
