Fetal serum β2-microglobulin as a marker for fetal infectious diseases
Prenatal Diagnosis, 2006To evaluate whether fetal serum beta2-microglobulin could be used as a marker of fetal cytomegalovirus (CMV) or toxoplasmosis infection.beta2-microglobulin was retrospectively assayed in fetal serum collected from 64 patients with maternal infectious seroconversion (toxoplasmosis in 49 cases, CMV in 15).

Echogenic material in the fetal gallbladder and fetal disease [PDF]
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 microchimerism as an explanation of disease
Nature Reviews Endocrinology, 2010Fetal cell microchimerism is defined as the persistence of fetal cells in the mother after birth without any apparent rejection. Fetal microchimeric cells (FMCs) engraft into the maternal bone marrow for decades after delivery and are able to migrate to blood and tissues.

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 programming: link between early nutrition, DNA methylation, and complex diseases.
Nutrition reviews, 2010Complex traits, including those involved in diet-related diseases, are determined by multiple genes and environmental influences. Factors influencing the development of complex traits should be expanded to include epigenetic factors, such as DNA ...

Fetal origins of adult disease
Seminars in Fetal and Neonatal Medicine, 2006The 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 ...

Fetal origins of cardiovascular disease
Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 2003Several 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.

Placental Abnormalities and Fetal Disease
Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1964Pediatricians, 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.

Surgically correctable fetal disease
The American Journal of Surgery, 2000This 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

Maternal and fetal determinants of adult diseases.
Nutrition reviews, 2009Recent epidemiologic studies in the United Kingdom have led to the hypothesis that adverse nutritional experiences in utero have a powerful influence on the development of degenerative diseases in adulthood.
