This study was performed to investigate the hypothesis that insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) is involved in the pathogenesis of trophoblast invasion and impaired placentation in human pregnancy. The role of total and non-phosphorylated IGFBP-1 in women with fetal growth restriction and in high risk pregnancies identified by uterine artery Doppler ultrasound screening was e...

Frequent treatment of the growth-restricted (IUGR) ovine fetus with intra-amniotic IGF-1 increases fetal growth. We aimed to determine whether increased growth was maintained with an extended dosing interval and to examine possible mechanisms. Pregnant ewes were allocated to three groups: Control, and two IUGR groups (induced by placental embolization) treated with weekly intra-amniotic injecti...

Low Birth Weight (LBW) is a baby born with weight less than 2500 grams which has contribution to infant mortality, especially during the perinatal period. LBW caused by short gestational age (prematurity) and IUGR (Intra Uterine Growth Restriction) in Indonesian called Inhibited Fetal (PJT) or both. Both of these causes are influenced risk factors. Factors associated incidence maternal age, par...

Intrauterine growth restriction is the cause of significant increases in perinatal mortality, morbidity and problems development newborns infants. The leading place this pathology not accidental, because according to various authors, frequency loss associated with it from 19 287‰ more, level - 58.7 88.0%.The objective: To determine certain serum ultrasound markers during first trimester pregnan...

Cold stimulus, immersing the hand into ice water, was given to pregnant women with and without preeclampsia. The uterine artery blood flow was observed before, during and after the stimulus by Doppler ultrasound. The pulsatility index in the uterine artery blood flow was significantly increased by the cold exposure in preeclampsia from 1.14 to 1.52, whereas it increased in normal control from 0...

The ultimate goal of the quality post-natal care of premature infants is to provide an extra-uterine environment with high resemblance to intra-uterine life and primed for an undisrupted growth and development. Ideally, neonatal intensive care shall provide premature infants with equal chances in all aspects of development compared to as their counterparts in utero until they reach term age. Ho...

OBJECTIVE To examine the predictive value of clinical examination, laboratory tests and Doppler ultrasound examination in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and/or antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) pregnancies. METHODS A prospective study of 116 pregnancies followed in a single tertiary referral centre. Outcomes analysed were fetal/neonatal death and adverse pregnancy outcome. Univariate analys...
