The Association between N-terminal Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide Levels in the Umbilical Vein and Amniotic Fluid Volume Abnormalities [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Ginecologia e Obstetrícia, 2016
Purpose The amniotic fluid volume (AFV) is known as a predictor for the wellness of a fetus. We aimed to investigate whether N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) levels reflect AFV abnormalities in otherwise normal fetuses.

Influence of maternal body mass index on the accuracy of clinical and sonographic fetal weight estimation

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Estimated fetal weight (EFW) is essential for managing pregnancy and delivery. Currently, two primary methods are used for EFW: Clinical and sonographic estimation. Both might be influenced by maternal habitus. Obesity has become a global epidemic; however, its effect on EFW and the accuracy of the two methods has yet to be ...

Association between maternal pre‐pregnancy body mass index and maternal and neonatal outcomes in Saudi Arabia: A retrospective cohort study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The body mass index (BMI, calculated as weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters) of the mother before pregnancy and the growth of weight during pregnancy are both important perinatal health determinants. The aim of the present study was to examine the association between the maternal BMI and obstetric and ...

Ultrasound findings associated with neonatal acute liver failure secondary to gestational alloimmune liver disease: A case series

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Gestational alloimmune liver disease is the leading cause of neonatal acute liver failure, hypothesized to emerge from maternal exposure to an antigen that is expressed on fetal hepatocytes, resulting in maternal‐fetal alloimmune attack and activation of the complement cascade.
