Maternal and foetal outcome in gestational diabetes.
BACKGROUND Gestational diabetes is impaired carbohydrate metabolism first diagnosed in pregnancy. Knowledge of diabetes dates back to centuries before Christ. Objective was to describe maternal complications during antenatal period and Maternal and neonatal outcome in gestational diabetes mellitus. METHODS This Descriptive observational study was conducted at Department of Obstetrics and Gyna...
متن کاملGrowth hormone receptor gene expression in the skeletal muscle of normal and double-muscled bovines during foetal development.
The expression of the growth hormone receptor (GHR) gene was investigated in semitendinosus muscle during bovine foetal development in both normal and double-muscled Charolais foetuses which differ with respect to muscle development. Northern-blot analysis of foetal muscle RNA preparations with a GHR cDNA probe identified the 4.5 kb GHR mRNA as early as 130 days post-conception. In double-muscl...
متن کاملFoetal age determination and development in elephants.
Elephants have the longest pregnancy of all mammals, with an average gestation of around 660 days, so their embryonic and foetal development have always been of special interest. Hitherto, it has only been possible to estimate foetal ages from theoretical calculations based on foetal mass. The recent development of sophisticated ultrasound procedures for elephants has now made it possible to mo...
متن کاملHistochemical Differentiation of Skeletal Muscle in Foetal and Newborn Mice.
I N earlier investigations of muscle development, morphological criteria, such as diameter and staining with routine methods, have been used for classifying different fibre types. In human foetal muscle three fibre sizes are seen from the 15th week (Cuajunco, 1942). The largest fibres seem to be the centre of each primary muscle bundle. They were denoted as B fibres by Wohlfart (1937), who cons...
متن کاملThe influence of maternal nutrition on ovine foetal growth.
In recent years considerable information on ovine foetal growth has emanated from both medical research, in which the sheep has been used as a convenient experimental animal, and agricultural research, in which the main interest has been in improving the efficiency of the sheep as a meat and wool producer (Alexander, 1974). In the present paper an attempt is made to draw together some of the ma...
