Fetal Macrosomia: Etiologic Factors
Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2000Fetal growth can be considered the outcome of an interaction between the genetic cause of growth and constraints provided by limitations on substrate availability (selected amino acids, free fatty acids, and mainly glucose). It should be noted that the majority of large infants are constitutionally large and do not require special intervention, which ...

Cord Leptin Level and Fetal Macrosomia
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2000To determine the relationships among serum leptin, insulin-like growth factor-I, and insulin levels in large for gestational age (LGA) infants.Serum samples were collected from maternal veins and umbilical arteries of 52 consecutive, term, LGA neonates of nondiabetic mothers.

[Fetal macrosomia. Maternal and fetal implications].
Minerva ginecologica, 1993Ninety-six cases of fetal macrosomia have been tested to focus on the factors necessary to select women running the risk of delivering macrosomic fetuses. The results of these studies are the following ones: a) pregnant women with pathology are multiparas; b) they are usually characterized by peculiar weight increase in pregnancy; c) they have gone ...

Fetal macrosomia in experimental maternal diabetes
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1981Fetal macrosomia in diabetic pregnancy has been shown to accompany increases in the fetal levels of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and proteins in animal model systems. In order to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of this macrosomia, the synthesis of DNA and proteins, the transport of the precursors, and the tissue level of DNA polymerase activities in

Fetal macrosomia and pregnancy outcome in Lagos
International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 1989AbstractIn an analysis of 6376 singleton births the prevalence of macrosomia was 4.9%; the attending perinatal mortality was 58/1000 compared to 18/1000 in controls. Eighty‐three percent perinatal deaths occurred in unbooked patients after prolonged and neglected labor.

Fetal Macrosomia – A Continuing Obstetric Challenge
Neonatology, 2006<i>Background:</i> Macrosomic fetuses represent a continuing challenge in obstetrics. <i>Objectives:</i> We studied maternal risk factors of fetal macrosomia and maternal and infant outcome in such cases. <i>Methods:</i> A retrospective cohort study was carried out with a total of 26,961 singleton pregnancies between

[Predictive factors of fetal macrosomia].
Minerva ginecologica, 1998Fetal macrosomia is a condition which may increase the risk of mechanical and/or dynamic problems for the parturient. In the past, we have demonstrated that in more than half of the cases it is not possible to exclude a contribution of maternal pathology to the determination of fetal-macrosomia. The aim of this work is to verify whether our more recent

[Etiopathogeny of fetal macrosomia].
Journal de gynecologie, obstetrique et biologie de la reproduction, 2000Fetal macrosomia is an heterogeneous condition in terms of definition and etiologic factors. Recent findings suggest that macrosomia should not be classified on the basis of birth weight and gestational age alone. The ponderal index delineates a symmetric and an asymmetric subtype of macrosomia.
