Extensive myocardial infarction developed in a neonate, apparently as a result of paradoxical embolism from the ductus venosus. It is suggested that in instances of myocardial infarction in the very young this vessel should be examined as a possible source of the embolus.

To evaluate the potentials of the first trimester uterine artery Doppler, placental volume measurement and ductus venosus blood flow as predictors of third trimester fetal growth parameters. This study was a prospective-observational study, conducted on 200 pregnant women, during a period of 2 years starting from June 1st 2013 till May 30th 2015, in order to evaluate the potentials of the first...

Accurate assessment of gestational age, fetal growth, and the detection of fetal and placental abnormalities are major benefits of sonography. Color Doppler can be used to assist in the identification of vascular architecture, detection of vascular pathology and visualization of blood flow changes associated with physiologic processes and disease states. The clinical applications of obstetrical...

Exchange transfusion in small infants carries a mortality of 4-7 5% (Van Praagh, 1961; Boggs and Westphal, 1960). Many factors such as hypocalcaemia, circulatory overloading, hyperkalaemia, acidosis, citrate toxicity may be responsible, and the mode of death, whatever the aetiology, is usually thought to be acute cardiac failure (O'Neill and Gordon, 1959; Robinson and Barrie, 1963), and commonl...

To determine and compare accuracy of various Doppler parameters for perinatal outcome. Umbilical artery (UA), Middle cerebral artery (MCA) and Ductus Venosus for predicting adverse perinatal outcome in patients of intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) and pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH). 60 singleton pregnancy with clinically suspicion of IUGR/PIH or both, having gestational age of 30 wee...
