A Randomized Controlled Trial to Compare the Efficacy of Three Different Methods of Maternal Hydration for Oligohydramnios [PDF]

Journal of Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences University, 2018
Background: Oligohydramnios is defined as an Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI) of less than normal for that gestational age. It is mainly associated with increased perinatal morbidity and mortality due to cord compression, fetal distress, pulmonary hypoplasia ...

The rising tide: Trends in induction of labor at term over a 5‐year period at a single centre

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 169, Issue 1, Page 383-390, April 2025.
Abstract Objective Induction of labor (IOL) is a controversial topic in contemporary obstetric practice, with some suggesting that the increase in elective induction (eIOL) as a potential contributor to increasing cesarean delivery (CD) rates. The objectives of this single‐center study were to examine the rates of IOL, trends in indications for IOL ...

Role of l-Arginine in Oligohydramnios [PDF]

The Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology of India, 2016
Oligohydramnios is a known obstetric complication which is associated with operative interferences and perinatal morbidity and mortality. l-arginine is a precursor of nitric oxide and may play a role in local vasodilatation. Administration of l-arginine has been suggested to improve amniotic fluid index (AFI) in oligohydramnios.To study the effect of l-

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.

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.
