Uncontrolled Diabetes Mellitus and Fetal Heart
نویسندگان
چکیده
One hundred diabetic pregnant ladies were investigated and classified according to HbA1c to controlled and uncontrolled groups. Ultrasound was done for all cases including fetal biometry and measurement of fetal cardiac inter-ventricular septal thickness. Doppler ultrasound was done and umbilical artery and fetal Aorta resistance indices (RI) were estimated for all cases. One hundred normal pregnant ladies acted as controls. A significant increase in septal thickness in uncontrolled diabetics was detected with lower fetal aorta RI compared to controlled diabetics and normal group. Septal thickness correlated with glycemic status in these fetuses. According to the results of this study, proper glycemic control and prenatal routine fetal echocardiography are recommended for all diabetic pregnant ladies. [Researcher. 2010;2(5):45-55].

Comparison of Fetal Echocardiography for Fetal Cardiac Structure in Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Normal Pregnancies
BackgroundIncreased metabolic rate of hyperglycemia in gestational diabetes causes macrosomia, which can also affect the fetal heart. The thickness of the walls of the heart and its function in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) can change over time before treatment. We aimed to evaluate fetal cardiac structure in terms of ventricular wall thickness and its function in women w...

متن کاملEvaluation of proteinase and phospholipase activity of Candida albicans strains isolated from the mouth of patients with controlled and uncontrolled diabetes mellitus in Qazvin province: Short Communication
Pathophysiological changes in the mouth of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) predispose to overgrowth of Candida albicans. Various virulence factors such as proteinase and phospholipase production are involved in the process of degradation of the host cell membrane. These enzymes are involved in binding Candida species, especially in the hyphae stage, to the target tissue. In this study, the...
