Pathophysiology of hydrops fetalis
Hydrops fetalis occurs when the rate of interstitial fluid production by capillary ultrafiltration exceeds the rate of interstitial fluid return to the circulation via lymphatic vessels. Developmental differences in the microcirculation and lymphatic system of the fetus, as compared with mature subjects, renders the fetus susceptible to interstitial ...

Alpha-thalassaemic hydrops fetalis. [PDF]
Concentrations of total protein, albumin, colloid osmotic pressure, and immunoglobulins G and M were measured in the umbilical venous plasma of 4 infants with alpha-thalassaemic hydrops fetalis. Total protein, albumin, and colloid osmotic pressure concentrations were low, and these are likely to contributory factors in the formation of fetal oedema ...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Mitochondrial trifunctional protein deficiency (MTPD) is an inherited disorder of fatty acid β‐oxidation caused by mutations in HADHA or HADHB genes. It typically presents with cardiomyopathy or hepatic failure in early childhood; however, it may rarely present in adulthood with the neuromyopathic form.

MR assessment of fetal lung development using lung volumes and signal intensities [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the monitoring and diagnostic potential of MRI in fetal lung development and disease using lung volume and signal intensity changes through gestation. Thirty-five healthy fetuses (22-42weeks) were examined on a 1.

A Multicenter Retrospective Study of HbH in China Including 1421 Patients Over a 12‐Year Timespan
ABSTRACT Background Hemoglobin H (HbH) disease is a relatively common genetic disorder worldwide. However, the lack of long‐term follow‐up studies involving large patient cohorts has limited our understanding of its clinical features, disease progression, and outcomes.

A Case of Lung Volume Reduction Surgery in a Young Adult With Chronic Lung Disease
An 18‐year‐old boy with chronic lung disease reported experiencing shortness of breath during exertion for the past year. He was diagnosed with severe emphysema, along with a giant bulla in his left lower lobe. Treatment with bronchodilators and respiratory rehabilitation did not alleviate his symptoms.

Perinatal outcomes of resolved fetal cystic hygromas
Abstract Introduction Cystic hygroma is associated with additional fetal anomalies and genetic abnormalities. Although some cystic hygromas can progress to hydrops fetalis, some regress and resolve with advancing gestation. We aimed to describe the frequency with which cystic hygromas resolve, the prevalence and types of underlying genetic diagnoses ...

Etiology and Outcome of Hydrops Fetalis
The term hydrops fetalis (HF) describes generalized subcutaneous edema in the fetus or neonate, characterized by a generalized skin thickness of >5 mm. It is usually accompanied by ascites and often by pleural and/or pericardial effusion. Generally, there are two categories of HF: isoimmume and nonimmune.
