Umbilical artery pseudoaneurysm
Journal of the Belgian Society of Radiology, 2015 A 5-week-old baby boy was referred to ultrasonography because of a discharging umbilical granuloma (UG) not responding to silver nitrate applications. He had no medical history, birth occurred without complications. Ultrasonography (US) found an anechoic 5 mm umbilical mass (Fig. A). Doppler color (Fig.

Development of clinical sign-based scoring system for assessment of omphalitis in neonatal calves [PDF]
, 2018 Omphalitis contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality in neonatal calves. Diagnosis of omphalitis is based on the local signs of inflammation—pain, swelling, local heat and purulent discharge. An abattoir trial identified an optimal, sign-based,

Umbilical artery perforation: a potentially life-threatening complication of umbilical artery catheterisation [PDF]
BMJ Case Reports, 2017 Umbilical artery catheterisation is frequently performed in preterm or critically ill newborn infants for invasive monitoring of blood pressure and blood sampling for laboratory tests. It is associated with well-known complications like catheter-related infections, thromboembolic events and aneurysmal formation of the aorta.

Compensatory Feto-Placental Upregulation of the Nitric Oxide System during Fetal Growth Restriction [PDF]
, 2012 Background: Fetal Growth Restriction is often associated with a feto-placental vascular dysfunction conceivably involving endothelial cells. Our study aimed to verify this pathogenic role for feto-placental endothelial cells and, coincidentally ...

Doppler sonography of the uterine and the cubital arteries in normal pregnancies, preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction: evidence for a systemic vessel involvement [PDF]
, 2006 Aims: The decrease in uterine resistance during normal pregnancy is known to be related to invading trophoblast cells which derive from placental tissue. Uterine and peripheral resistance is elevated in preeclampsia.
