Background: between mother and her neonatal reflects the quality of maternal emotional feelings and behaviors toward her baby. This attachment emerges in behaviors, which indicate the mother’s attention and care. Self-compassion is the extension of compassion to oneself in instances of perceived inadequacy, failure, or general suffering. Regarding this, the aim of the present study was to deter...

Background: Current prenatal diagnosis requires invasive testing which carries a 1-4% procedure-related-risk of miscarriage; hence, non-invasive techniques are desired. The recent demonstration of cell-free-fetal-DNA enriched from maternal plasma has opened new possibilities for non-invasive-prenatal-diagnosis of not only genetic-disorders such as β-thalassaemia and haemophilia but also chromos...

context maternal serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg) and alpha fetal protein (afp) were originally introduced to detect trisomy 21 and neural tube defects. however, in the absence of aneuploidy or neural tube defects, mid-trimester maternal serum hcg and/or maternal serum afp associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. pregnancies with unexplained mid-trimester elevation in maternal serum ...

Maternal fetal leakage (FMH) is a well-known cause of anemia. We define it as the transition erythrocytes into maternal circulation. Its severity determined by measuring level hemoglobin in mother's blood using Kleinhauer-Betke test or cytometric method (FCM). The paper presents case newborn with massive maternal-fetal leakage. Kleinhauer result was greater than 5% cells, and initial neonatal 3...

abstract background: parent–infant attachment is an important factor in accepting parenting role, accelerating infant survival, and adjusting to the environment outside the uterus. since family supportive interventions can strengthen the parent–infant caring relationship, this study sought to investigate the relationship between mother–infant attachment and satisfaction of the mothers with the ...

Background: It is well documented that fetal DNA can cross the placenta and is present in peripheral maternal blood during pregnancy in human. This fetal DNA also named circulating cell free fetal DNA, has emerged as a valuable source for genetic evaluation. Compared with humans, ovine species have a different structure of placental (synepitheliochorial) with no direct contact between the troph...

background: when fetal red cells enter the maternal circulation from placenta, an event would be happened that is described as feto-maternal hemorrhage (fmh). this life-threatening condition could be detected by using rbc antigens (surface antigens and intracellular antigens). therefore, the measurement of fetal rbc in an artificial model would be useful to calculate fmh and consequently the do...

conclusions we did not find significant differences in ventricular function or ventricular septal thickness in the fetuses of mothers who were referred to our hospital with a previous diagnosis of diabetes mellitus compared with the fetuses of non-diabetic mothers. this could be due to early identification, appropriate treatment, and tightly controlled diabetes in our study population. it shoul...

abstractbackground: a modern teaching method has been used for educating the midwifery students. regarding the importance of accuracy and speed among the midwifery students, especially in the stressful condition of childbirth, this study aimed to investigate the effect of time management and precaution techniques on the midwifery student's clinical performance in the labour ward.methods: t...
