The Role of Genes and Environment on Fetal Growth

, 2014
Fetal growth is influenced by the in utero environment and genetic factors inherited from both parents. Poor fetal growth leading to low birth weight is associated with insulin resistance and type-2 diabetes in later life.

Placental Dysfunction and Congenital Heart Disease: Investigating the Placenta‐Heart Axis

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Concurrent development of the placenta and heart during early gestation suggests a shared biological basis for the co‐occurrence of abnormal placentation and congenital heart disease (CHD). This study investigated the association between placental vascular pathology and CHD type.

Fetal Origins, Childhood Development, and Famine: A Bibliography and Literature Review [PDF]

The human costs of famines outlast the famines themselves. An increasing body of research points to their adverse long-run consequences for those born or in utero during them.

Fetal Brain Abnormalities Following Laser Surgery for Twin‐to‐Twin Transfusion Syndrome: Imaging Patterns and Evolution

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Severe brain injury has been reported following fetoscopic laser ablation (FLA) for twin‐to‐twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), but imaging patterns and temporal evolution remain poorly defined. This study aimed to characterize the progression of severe brain injury after FLA. Methods We conducted a retrospective case series of TTTS

Sex and fetal genome influence gene expression in pig endometrium at the end of gestation

BMC Genomics
Background A fine balance of feto-maternal resource allocation is required to support pregnancy, which depends on interactions between maternal and fetal genetic potential, maternal nutrition and environment, endometrial and placental functions.

Transmembrane potential and intracellular potassium ion activity in fetal and maternal liver

, 1984
We have compared transmembrane potentials (Em) of maternal liver with Em of fetal liver, and as an initial step to account for differences in Em, we have measured intracellular potassium ion activities (a ik) in both tissues.

Ashwagandha: Is It Safe? Part 2: A Preclinical Evidence Review

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The preclinical evidence for the safety of ashwagandha (Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal, AS) is reviewed, and its preparations (extracts) and constituents, from the general toxicity in animal models to in vitro and cell culture studies, which may elucidate mechanisms of action and explain clinical case reports.

Maternal-Fetal Endocrine Interface: A Systematic Review of the Clinicopathological Assessment of Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis Dysregulation in Pregnancy Complications

Pakistan Journal of Medicine and Dentistry
Background: The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis played a critical role in balancing maternal stress responses during pregnancy. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the dysregulation of the HPA axis and its link to pregnancy complications.
