Introduction: To assess changes in blood flow in the uterine, fetal cerebral, and umbilical arteries (UA) by Doppler ultrasound and alterations in the variability of fetal heart rate (FHR) as well as fetal cardiac performance by fetal echocardiography ...

The role of soluble FMS-like tyrosine kinase (sFLT1) and FAS associated proteins in pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). [PDF]
PhDCurrent thinking suggests that preeclampsia is associated with activation of the maternal vascular endothelium in response to factors released from the placenta due to placental hypoxia.

Impact of fetal trisomy 21 on umbilical artery Doppler indices [PDF]
Objectives - Umbilical artery (UA) Doppler indices are surrogate measures of placental function, most commonly used to assess fetal wellbeing in pregnancies with fetal growth restriction.

Intra-uterine fetal demise caused by amniotic band syndrome after standard amniocentesis [PDF]
The amniotic band syndrome represents a prime example of exogenous disruption of an otherwise normal feta I development. It may be a sequel of invasive diagnostic procedures such as amniocentesis or fetal blood sampling. A 38-year-old gravida II, para II

Developments in target micro-doppler signatures analysis: radar imaging, ultrasound and through-the-wall radar [PDF]
Target motions, other than the main bulk translation of the target, induce Doppler modulations around the main Doppler shift that form what is commonly called a target micro-Doppler signature.

Doppler changes as the earliest parameter in fetal surveillance to detect fetal compromise in intrauterine growth-restricted fetuses [PDF]
Introduction. It is estimated that 3-10% of infants are growth restricted. Growth disturbances may have long-term issues. Doppler allows insight into the fetal response to intrauterine stress. Objective. The aim of this study was to detect fetal

Animal models of fetal growth restriction: Considerations for translational medicine. [PDF]
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.

Effects of Maternal Dexamethasone Administration on Daily Foetal Movement Count and its Correlation with Doppler Studies and NonStress Test [PDF]
Background: Preterm delivery causes significant infant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Fetal lung maturity is often improved with antenatal corticosteroids like dexamethasone; however, several reports have suggested a noticeable reduction in fetal ...

Fetal liver blood flow distribution: role in human developmental strategy to prioritize fat deposition versus brain development [PDF]
Among primates, human neonates have the largest brains but also the highest proportion of body fat. If placental nutrient supply is limited, the fetus faces a dilemma: should resources be allocated to brain growth, or to fat deposition for use as a ...
