Chorionic somatomammotrophin as index of fetal growth.
Concentrations of chorionic somatomammotrophin (hCS) in maternal plasma at the time of delivery and in placental extracts were determined by radioimmunoassay and related to neonatal growth in 111 normal pregnancies. Mean maternal plasma hCS concentration was lower in association with small-for-dates infants, defined by either height or weight, than with well-grown preterm or term infants. Mean ...
متن کاملHydronephrosis Index as a New Method for the Evaluation and Follow-up of Fetal Hydronephrosis
Background: The present study was conducted to compare the efficiency of hydronephrosis index (HI) with those of pelvic anteroposterior (AP) diameter and parenchymal thickness in the diagnosis of fetal hydronephrosis in the prenatal period, as well as 1, 6, and 12 months after birth. Methods: This study was conducted on pregnant women with the pregnancy age of > 30 weeks whose fetus was suspect...
متن کاملSalivary estriol as an index to fetal wellbeing.
We adapted two commercially available kits for measuring serum estriol to use in assaying salivary estriol in the third trimester of pregnancy. Salivary estriol increases during gestation, as does unconjugated estriol in serum. With a meticulous collection protocol, fetal wellbeing can be monitored as successfully with saliva samples as with serum. A fetal demise was charted similarly by the sa...
متن کاملHuman Chorionic Gonadotropin as a Pivotal Endocrine Immune Regulator Initiating and Preserving Fetal Tolerance
The pregnancy hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), is crucially involved in processes such as implantation and placentation, two milestones of pregnancy whose successful progress is a prerequisite for adequate fetal growth. Moreover, hCG determines fetal fate by regulating maternal innate and adaptive immune responses allowing the acceptance of the foreign fetal antigens. As one of the ...
متن کاملMaternal Lipids Are as Important as Glucose for Fetal Growth
OBJECTIVE To study the relationship between maternal circulating fuels and neonatal size and compare the relative effects of glucose and lipids. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The Pune Maternal Nutrition Study (1993-1996) investigated the influence of maternal nutrition on fetal growth. We measured maternal body size and glucose and lipid concentrations during pregnancy and examined their relati...
