A retrospective segmentation analysis of placental volume by magnetic resonance imaging from first trimester to term gestation [PDF]
Background Abnormalities of the placenta affect 5–7% of pregnancies. Because disturbances in fetal growth are often preceded by dysfunction of the placenta or attenuation of its normal expansion, placental health warrants careful surveillance. There are

A lesson for cancer research : placental microarray gene analysis in preeclampsia [PDF]
Tumor progression and pregnancy share many common features, such as immune tolerance and invasion. The invasion of trophoblasts in the placenta into the uterine wall is essential for fetal development, and is thus precisely regulated.

A genetic approach to study the relationship between maternal Vitamin D status and newborn anthropometry measurements: the Vitamin D pregnant mother (VDPM) cohort study [PDF]
Purpose Adverse effects of maternal vitamin D deficiency have been linked to adverse pregnancy outcomes. We investigated the relationship between maternal vitamin D status and newborn anthropometry measurements using a genetic approach and examined the ...

Risk factors, predictive markers and prevention strategies for intrauterine fetal death. An integrative review [PDF]
According to World Health Organization (WHO), fetal death is defined as the death of the fetus prior to its complete expulsion, independent of the duration of pregnancy, thus only ascribing the term stillbirth to fetal deaths in the case of pregnancies ...

Proteins-markers of placental insufficiency [PDF]
The proteomic analysis of the amniotic fluids of women with physiological pregnancy and pregnancy, complicated with placental insufficiency has been carried out on the II and III trimesters. The following difference in protein patterns have been recognized: i) appearance of several proteins lacking in physiological pregnancy; ii) absence of several ...

Effects of intrauterine exposure to synthetic glucocorticoids on fetal, newborn, and infant hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis function in humans : a systematic review [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Synthetic glucocorticoids are commonly used in reproductive medicine. Fetal organ systems are highly sensitive to changes in the intrauterine environment, including overexposure to glucocorticoids.

The Possible Role of Placental Morphometry in the Detection of Fetal Growth Restriction
Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is often the result of placental insufficiency and is characterized by insufficient transplacental transport of nutrients and oxygen.
