Fetal testing in intra-uterine growth retardation

Current Opinion in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1997
There are three major issues that remain subject to debate in relation to fetal growth retardation: (1) Which method should be used to identify the affected population? (2) Which biophysical test(s) is most appropriate to assess the pregnancy? (3) Which factors are important when considering elective delivery?

Multivariate analysis of determinants of fetal growth retardation

European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology, 1994
To analyse the relative effect of the risk factors related to fetal growth retardation (FGR) in the central area of Spain.This is a case-control survey of 370 full-term gestations. Of the 370 women, 185 were diagnosed with intrauterine growth retardation, and 185 were in the normal group. All came from a central region of Spain. We took into account 25

PREVENTION OF FETAL GROWTH RETARDATION

International Journal of Medical Sciences - ACTA MEDICA BALKANICA
Fetal growth restriction (FGR) has been a frequently encountered pathology in obstetrics and affects 5-10% of pregnancies. It has been one of the three main causes of perinatal deaths, after premature births and fetal malformations. In approximately one third of cases with FGR, cause or pathology was not found, which made it difficult to prevent or ...

FETAL GROWTH RETARDATION AND THE ARTERIES OF THE PLACENTAL BED

Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 1977
summaryThe morphology of the placental bed spiral arteries was studied in 68 pregnancies complicated by fetal growth retardation and in 40 pregnancies with a normally grown fetus. When the birth weight was normal the extent and depth of physiological vascular changes were normal except in those pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia.

An undetected reason for severe fetal growth retardation

European Journal of Ultrasound, 1998
In a severely growth-retarded fetus, repeated Doppler ultrasound examinations from the 23rd week of gestation on, showed normal and highly pathological blood flow velocities in the umbilical artery. A caesarean section performed in the 39th week of gestation revealed two true umbilical cord knots.

Uteroplacental Hemostasis in Intrauterine Fetal Growth Retardation

Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis, 1999
During pregnancy, extensive hemostatic changes occur in the uteroplacental circulation. Invading endovascular trophoblast cells induce physiological adaptations of uterine spiral arteries, required to accommodate the increased maternal blood flow to the intervillous space of the placenta as pregnancy advances.

Mechanisms of Fetal Growth Retardation in the Underweight Mother

1994
During pregnancy, the mother undergoes a variety of physiological and metabolic adjustments. These functional changes make it possible for the mother to sustain fetal growth while protecting her own homeostasis. Estrogen and progesterone produced by the placenta are responsible for most of the changes taking place in the maternal body.

The Long-Term Outcome of Retarded Fetal Growth

Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1997
Recent findings suggest that many human fetuses have to adapt to a limited supply of nutrients and in doing so they permanently change their physiology and metabolism. These "programmed" changes may be the origins of a number of diseases in later life, including coronary heart disease and the related disorders stroke, diabetes and hypertension.
