The Relationship between Modified Biophysical Profile, Standard Biophysical Profile, and Neonatal Outcomes of High-risk Pregnancies

Introduction: High-risk pregnancies can result in many complications for the fetus. In these pregnancies, different tests such as non-stress test (NST), biophysical profile (BPP), oxytocin contraction stress test (OCT), and Doppler sonography can be used to evaluate fetal health. As standard BBP requires more time and expertise, in this study, we evaluated the relationship between standard BPP,...

Cancer in nonagenarians: profile, treatments and outcomes.

An increasing number of nonagenarians are treated for cancer. However, very few data are available to guide treatment choices in this often frail population. The charts of all patients registered at Moffitt Cancer Center between 1993 and 2006 who were aged 90 or older at the time of treatment/evaluation were reviewed, and those treated for an active cancer (n=177) were included in the analysis....

Rosemary and Peter Grant

of most families. The holistic approach taken by Marshall is a welcome addition to the field, where work of a synthetic nature has been rare. Having access to all information in one place makes it far easier to see parallels in lifestyles and morphology among the diverse groups that make up the order. Flies is not only for keen dipterists, but is also of relevance to experimental biologists as ...

Comparison of Abdominal Aorta Intima-Media Thickness, Serum Level of Leptin, and Lipid Profile between Maternal Preeclampsia and Neonatal Outcomes

Background Pre-eclampsia is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality among pregnant women. This study was done with the objective of measuring abdominal aorta intima-media thickness, serum level of leptin, and lipid profile in neonates of pre-eclampsia mothers and comparing them with neonates of mothers without pre-eclampsia (control group). Materials and Methods Ninety neonates of pre...
