Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. In 2020, the Society Maternal Medicine American College Obstetricians Gynecologists redefined fetal from estimated weight (EFW) less than 10th percentile to EFW or abdominal circumference (AC) percentile. our study, we seek assess rate abnormal umbilical artery Doppler velocimetry in fetuses with FGR diagnose...

Biparietal diameter (BPD), head circumference (HC), abdominal circumference (AC) and femur length (FL) were compared by race and sex in 5,405 ultrasound examinations done on 2,831 women. Black fetuses had significantly longer FL than white fetuses; male fetuses had larger BPD, HC and AC than females. The differences in BPD, HC and AC correlated with the different birth weights observed between ...

We carried out case control study aimed to evaluate abdominal obesity as a risk factor for ischemic stroke. Though it became established as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, still its association with stroke is less clear. We have taken ninety cases with ischemic stroke and compare waist to hip ratio & waist circumference with same numbers of age and sex matched stroke free people as co...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to determine the effect on local fat deposition and body weight of wearing a near-infrared light belt around the abdomen. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-eight obese female subjects participated in this experiment. For measurement of body composition, an impedance-style body fat analyzer was used. The experimental group performed treadmill walking 3 times p...

OBJECTIVE Obesity, especially abdominal, is a risk factor for many diseases. This study explored trends in the prevalence of general and abdominal obesity, 1986-2004, in northern Sweden. METHODS AND PROCEDURES Cross-sectional population surveys were performed in 1986, 1990, 1994, 1999, and 2004; 250 men and 250 women aged 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, and 55-64 years (from 1994, also 65-74 years) were...

Abdominal obesity and insulin resistance (IR) place youth at higher risk for premature cardiovascular disease (CVD), but the underlying mechanisms are not clear. In adults, abdominal obesity and IR contribute to the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL). Whether similar mechanisms are operational in Latino adolescents is unknown. Therefore, we determined whether IR and abdominal adiposity ...

OBJECTIVE We evaluated the association between patients' weight and abdominal cross-sectional dimensions and CT image quality. MATERIALS AND METHODS We prospectively evaluated 39 cancer patients aged more than 65 years with multislice CT scan of abdomen. All patients underwent equilibrium phase contrast-enhanced abdominal CT with 4 slices (from top of the right kidney) obtained at standard tu...
