External cephalic version under tocolysis [PDF]

Journal of Perinatal Medicine, 1975
We currently consider the external version of the fetus from a breech to a vertex presentation near term the best solution to the disadvantages of a breech delivery for mother and child. Version at such a late time in gestation is only possible with the aid of the tocolytic relaxation of the uterus as recommended by us. This method offers two important

Therapeutic role of nifedipine in threatened preterm labor: Current evidence and future perspectives

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Preterm birth occurs in approximately 10% of all pregnancies, and is not only the leading cause of neonatal mortality but also a major contributor to short‐ and long‐term morbidities due to immaturity. Preterm birth has also been linked to an increased risk of maternal cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, making it a critical concern ...

Association between fetal brain diffusion‐weighted imaging and postnatal neurodevelopmental outcome after prenatal myelomeningocele repair

Ultrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Myelomeningocele (MMC) is associated with significant alterations of the brain microstructure, which can impair long‐term neurodevelopmental outcomes. By measuring the random displacement of water molecules within the brain, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‐based diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) can provide objective metrics, such as
