Background: Variations in foetal growth between populations should not be ignored, and a single universal standard is appropriate for everyone. Therefore, it necessary to develop new ultrasound estimation equation that adapts better regional population characteristics. The purpose of this study was create weight according the local Chongqing compare with representative equations. Methods: This ...

Automatic delineation and robust measurement of fetal anat-omical structures in 2D ultrasound images is a challenging task due to the complexity of the object appearance, noise, shadows, and quantity of information to be processed. Previous solutions rely on explicit encoding of prior knowledge and formulate the problem as a perceptual grouping task solved through clustering or variational appr...

This paper proposes a fetal gender and weight estimation method using ultrasound images. Normally the gender and weight estimation is done by the physician through the observation only. The accuracy of the gender and weight estimation strongly dependent on the experiences of the physician as the images of ultrasound are not clear for those low cost two dimension (2D) ultrasound. In order to inc...

The zinc concentration of placental tissue and cord blood in sixteen mothers who gave birth to normal babies was measured. The blood volume of each placenta was estimated from measurements of haemoglobin concentration of placental homogenate and cord blood, and, by deduction, the Zn content of blood-free placental tissue was calculated. Results were compared with eleven mothers whose fetuses sh...

I read the paper titled “Effects of Yoga on Utero-FetalPlacental Circulation in High-Risk Pregnancy: A Randomized Controlled Trial” by A. Rakhshani et al. [1] with a great interest. Authors’ efforts are highly commendable. The strength of this study, apart from those mentioned by the authors, is the objectiveness of the key outcomes for yoga intervention. However, the following issues and conce...

OBJECTIVES To define the clinical, neuropsychological, and radiological features of bilateral parietal lobe atrophy. METHODS Four patients underwent a comprehensive longitudinal neuropsychological assessment, as well as MRI and HMPAO-SPECT. RESULTS The consistent findings in the patients were early visuospatial problems, agraphia of a predominantly peripheral (or apraxic) type, and difficul...

Background:Prenatal ultrasound plays an important role in the early and accurate evaluation of the congenital skeletal and non-skeletal abnormalities of the fetus and is effective in predicting pregnancy outcomes. Congenital femoral deficiency (CFD) is a rare complicated and non-hereditary anomaly that includes the hypoplasia of a portion of the femoral bone with shortening the lower limb. Cas...
