Effect of Cell Growth and Proliferation Factors (EGF/PDGF Signaling Pathway) on the Etiopathogenesis of Intrauterine Growth Restriction [PDF]

Objective: It is likely that the subgroups of the epidermal growth factor/platelet-derived growth factor (EGF/PDGF) signaling pathway play a role in the etiopathogenesis of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR).

Twin pregnancies and the limits of the energetics of gestation and growth hypothesis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The “Energetics of Gestation and Growth” (EGG) hypothesis proposes that human birth timing and the associated secondary altriciality of human newborns is determined by limits in maternal metabolic capacity. According to this model, labor is triggered when the increasing fetal energy requirements exceed the expectant mother's maximum sustained ...

Structural insights into the covalent regulation of PAPP-A activity by proMBP and STC2

Cell Discovery, 2022
Originally discovered in the circulation of pregnant women as a protein secreted by placental trophoblasts, the metalloprotease pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) is also widely expressed by many other tissues.

Developmental differences in cortical bone structure in chimpanzee and human femora reflect early locomotor independence in humans

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The cortical bone structure of long bone diaphyses changes throughout growth via skeletal modeling and has important implications for bone strength and structural integrity. Ontogenetic trends in diaphyseal structure have been identified in both chimpanzees and humans but it is not yet clear how these trends compare given notable differences ...

Twin amniotic fluid discordance below 26 weeks of gestation for predicting adverse outcomes

Clinical and Experimental Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2021
Aim: To identify the threshold of monochorionic twins with amniotic fluid discordance (TAFD) below 26 weeks for predicting progression to adverse outcomes. Method: A retrospective study involving 68 women of monochorionic twins that do not meet fetoscope

A new phenotipical variant of intrauterine growth restriction?

, 2007
OBJECTIVES: A link between intrauterine growth restriction and major adult-onset diseases has been reported. In this study we observed a series of hitherto-unrecognized clinical features in a population of children with intrauterine growth restriction.

The “costly son” hypothesis: Sons exacerbate obstetrical dilemmas in humans and other mammals

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Human childbirth has often been considered uniquely difficult among mammals, yet recent evidence suggests that obstructed labor and fetopelvic disproportion are widespread across placental mammals. Here, we propose the “costly son” hypothesis: because male offspring are typically larger at birth, they impose greater obstetric risk on mothers ...

Gestación gemelar monocorial: Ecografía, Doppler y estudio de los vasos placentarios post parto y su correlación con la ocurrencia de complicaciones Monochorionic twin gestations: Ultrasonography, Doppler and study of the placental vassels post parturition and his correlation with the occurrence of complications

Revista Argentina de Radiología, 2009
Propósito: Evaluar la correlación entre la ocurrencia de Restricción al Crecimiento Intrauterino (RCIU), RCIU selectivo (RCIUs) y Síndrome de Transfusión Feto-Fetal (STFF) y las características de la placenta en la gestación doble monocorial (GDM ...
