Surgically correctable fetal disease

The American Journal of Surgery, 2000
This paper will give an overview of fetal intervention over the last 2 decades. It is interesting to think that what we think of as birth defects are not really such at all. They are defects that become manifest at birth but which have a long and interesting history. As Samuel Taylor Coleridge said, “The history of man for the nine months preceding his

Human fetal bilirubin levels and fetal hemolytic disease

International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 1992
The development of secondary fetal anemia in association with maternal red blood cell alloimmunization requires hemolysis. In specimens obtained at the time of a clinically indicated cordocentesis, total and direct umbilical venous bilirubin was measured and the indirect umbilical venous bilirubin calculated in 43 antigen-positive and 30 control ...

Fetal growth and adult diseases

Seminars in Perinatology, 2004
Evidence that the quality of fetal growth and development has strong and, in widely varying populations, reproducible effects on susceptibility to many common adult human diseases has only been acquired relatively recently. The importance of this largely environmentally determined process in relation to genetic factors remains a topic of great debate ...

Fetal Heart Disease

2017
Antenatal diagnosis of structural CHD is now established in clinical practice in many countries. As a consequence, fetal cardiology has developed into a specialty on its own right. Extra-cardiac, chromosomal and genetic abnormalities are not uncommon associations, and therefore, a multidisciplinary approach is important when counselling families about ...

Fetal origins of cardiovascular disease

Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 2003
Several epidemiologic studies have shown that intrauterine growth retardation is a risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease in later life. In this review, we discuss these epidemiologic studies and animal models that have been developed to investigate the pathophysiology of this phenomenon.

Fetal Echocardiography to Diagnose Fetal Heart Disease

NeoReviews, 2012
Fetal echocardiography plays a central role in the evaluation of fetuses at risk for heart disease. It allows for detection of cardiac malformations, dysrhythmias, and evaluation of cardiac function. Indications for fetal echocardiography span a wide range that extends from the abnormal screening ultrasound in a low-risk pregnancy to the high-risk ...

Echogenic material in the fetal gallbladder and fetal disease

Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1997
AbstractThe presence of echogenic material within the gallbladder is probably a rare finding in the fetus, and the list of predisposing factors known for postnatal life seems not to be applicable to prenatal diagnosis. In the present study 1656 obstetric scans were performed on referrals to the Unit of Fetal Medicine.

Fetal origins of adult disease

Seminars in Fetal and Neonatal Medicine, 2006
The term 'fetal origins of adult disease' was coined on the basis of the inverse association between low birth weight and blood pressure, adult-onset diabetes, coronary heart disease, and stroke seen in numerous epidemiological studies. However, it seems unlikely that birth weight is involved in causal pathways underlying these observations, and if it ...

Placental Abnormalities and Fetal Disease

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1964
Pediatricians, although caring for newly born infants, often have limited knowledge of abnormalities of the placenta that may affect the infant. Few articles on this subject appear in pediatric journals. Pediatricians gain relevant personal experience indirectly, and in fact, seldom see even grossly abnormal placentas.

Immunologic Disease and Fetal Death

Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1987
Both maternal isoimmunization and maternal autoimmune disease are associated with fetal death. For isoimmunization the immunologic nature of fetal death (hydrops fetalis) is beyond question, but many of the details are poorly understood. It would be extremely helpful to know what immunologic factors are responsible for the wide variation in the degree ...
