Introduction Preterm birth is the leading cause of child mortality. This study aimed to develop and validate programmatically feasible accurate approaches estimate newborn gestational age (GA) in low resource settings. Methods The WHO Alliance for Maternal Newborn Health Improvement (AMANHI) recruited pregnant women from population-based cohorts five countries (Bangladesh, Ghana, Pakistan, Tanz...

OBJECTIVES To provide an updated US birth weight for gestational age reference corrected for likely errors in last menstrual period (LMP)-based gestational age dating, as well as means and SDs, to enable calculation of continuous and categorical measures of birth weight for gestational age. METHODS From the 2009-2010 US live birth files, we abstracted singleton births between 22 and 44 weeks ...

Locational marginal pricing (LMP) is a widely employed method for pricing electricity in the wholesale electricity market. Although it is well known that the LMP mechanism is vulnerable to market manipulation, there is little literature providing a systematic analysis of this phenomenon. In the first part of this paper, we investigate the economic dispatch outcomes of the LMP mechanism with str...

.. Objective: To compare correct assessment of gestational age between Transcerebeller diameter versus femur length in third trimester (28-40) using first day of last menstrual period for actual period of gestation. Study Design: Cross-sectional descriptive study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Bahawal Victoria Hospital, Bahawalpur from Jun 2012 to Dec 201...

Background: Accurate determination of gestational age has become important for deciding the appropriate time termination pregnancy as well to monitor fetal growth during entire period pregnancy. Objective: The aim study was assess whether trans-cerebellar diameter, placental thickness or combining both them is more accurate assessment in 3rd trimester Patients and Methods: This a cross sectiona...

one of the more infrequent congenital diseases with a wide spectrum of symptoms and more complications of the right side of pulmonary artery (63% according to ten harkel) is unilateral pulmonary artery agenesis (upaa). the clinical presentation is variable, and many patients can be asymptomatic for many years and even throughout their lives. although the disease more frequently appears in child...

Objective: To study whether the interval between gestational age calculated using last menstrual period (GA-LMP) and via ultrasound (GA-US) is correlated with success rate of medical treatment in cases miscarriages. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort conducted gynecology unit tertiary center. Women who underwent Misoprostol for miscarriage at Edith Wolfson Medical Center 07/2015 12/2020 w...

Introduction The placental thickness (PTh) is an ultrasonographic measurement commonly used to assess the placenta. study aimed determine selected factors influencing PTh in 2D prenatal examination. It might have a special value difficult cases for interpretation when above or below reference values. Material and methods In this retrospective study, we analysed results of foetal ECHO examinatio...

Lifestyle modification programs (LMP) for weight loss in adolescents with obesity are effective but not available. Primary care may be a setting for reaching more adolescents. Two models of LMP for use in primary care were examined. Adolescents and caregivers enrolled in a 1-year randomized trial comparing Group LMP with Self-Guided LMP. All participants (N = 169) received the same treatment re...

INTRODUCTION Gestational age is estimated by ultrasound using fetal size as a proxy for age, although variance in early growth affects reliability. The aim of this study was to identify characteristics associated with discrepancies between last menstrual period-based (EDD-LMP) and ultrasound-based (EDD-US) estimated delivery dates. MATERIAL AND METHODS We identified all singleton births (n = ...
