Intrauterine growth retardation

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1977
Intrauterine growth retardation is known to be associated with increased perinatal morbidity and mortality rates but fetal growth is still hard to assess. Factors known to show correlations with it include parity weight of other siblings maternal height and weight sex of the fetus size of the placenta multiple gestations high altitudes and maternal ...

Intra-uterine growth retardation

Current Opinion in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1996
Small-for-gestational-age fetuses are frequently detected in general obstetric practice. Despite remarkable improvements in our understanding and management of this group of conditions over the past 20 years, much more research is required. During the year reviewed in this article, advances were reported in identification, association/causation ...

Intrauterine Growth Retardation

Pediatrics In Review, 1986
Intrauterine growth retardation can result from a variety of environmental and genetic influences on fetal growth. The sequelae of intrauterine growth retardation resulting from impairment of nutrient flow include low birth weight with sparing of brain growth, polycythemia, and hypoglycemia resulting from decreased storage fuels and defective ...

Growth Retardation

American Journal of Diseases of Children, 1989
Growth results from an increase in cell number and/or cell size. Availability of basic building materials (nutrition) and the ability to utilize them (normal organ systems) influence growth. Genes, the blueprints for the organ systems, determine growth efficiency.

Intrauterine Growth Retardation Index

Ultrasound Quarterly, 2001
The objective of the study discussed was to develop an intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) index to detect fetuses with IUGR. The study was conducted in Australia and was based on 219 pregnant women at Wollongong Hospital in the Illawarra region in New South Wales, Australia.

Experimental Intrauterine Growth Retardation

Neonatology, 1975
The effects of experimental intrauterine growth retardation on subsequent fetal development, especially with respect to brain development, were studied in a new animal model. The rabbit was chosen since it has a perinatal pattern of brain development similar to that of the human.

Intrauterine Growth Retardation: Clinical and Experimental

Acta Paediatrica, 1985
ABSTRACT. Intrauterine growth retardation is a common and potentially hazardous problem for the fetus. Despite this, the obstetric factors associated with growth retardation have changed little in the last twenty years. Some of the other factors, the so‐called behavioural factors should be amenable to correction through education or changing social ...

Patterns of Retarded Fetal Growth

Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 1979
The measurement of weight, length and head circumference at birth was used to document the size and shape of infants born at term in a population where mothers are relatively short and underweight. Different patterns of intrauterine growth are proposed to explain the variation in the infant's appearance at birth.

The Growth Retarded Fetus

Clinics in Perinatology, 1979
Intrauterine growth retardation is caused by a variety of genetic and environmental influences, recognition of which is important both for prevention and for therapeutic and prognostic reasons.

Intrauterine Growth Retardation

American Journal of Diseases of Children, 1981
Most standards of fetal growth are grossly inadequate. Standards of fetal growth should be revised so that they represent normally grown fetuses and newborn infants; their data should be displayed in a uniform manner, and proper allowances should be made for intrinsic factors that affect fetal size significantly, namely gestational age, ethnic group ...
