In this study the birth weights of 431 infants of diabetic mothers of the Milan series have been compared with the birth weights of infants of a control group. The averages and the centile distributions of weights of infants of gestational diabetic mothers (Class A) and of diabetic mothers without vascular complications (Classes B and C) did not differ substantially from those of control newbor...

Introduction Current models based on fetal biometry and maternal characteristics have a poor performance in predicting macrosomia. The primary aim of this study was to elucidate the diagnostic venous arterial Dopplers macrosomia third trimester pregnancy; secondary build multiparametric prediction model including pregnancy, ultrasound Doppler able predict accurately. Material methods Prospectiv...

OBJECTIVE To systematically review and summarize the medical literature regarding the effects of expectant management and labor induction on mode of delivery and perinatal outcomes in patients with suspected fetal macrosomia. DATA SOURCES We supplemented a search of entries in electronic databases with references cited in original studies and review articles to identify studies assessing mana...

BACKGROUND Newborn macrosomia is associated with both short- and long-term health risks for the infant, and increases the prevalence of birth complications. Parity, maternal age and gender of the child are known variables that influence fetal growth. The purpose of the present investigation was to evaluate prospectively the contributions of modifiable maternal predictors of fetal macrosomia (> ...

BACKGROUND: Macrosomia incidence rate seems continue to increase, especially in Indonesia with a fairly high rate, macrosomia is associated adverse complications; therefore, early detection recommended so that optimal management can be determined. At present, abdominal circumferences are considered as most predictive of fetal weight and expected used for screening. AIM: This research purpose wa...

Background The known risk factors for Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) are advanced age (≥35 yrs.), overweight or obesity, excessive gestational weight gain, excessive central body fat deposition, family history of diabetes, short stature (<1.50 m), excessive fetal growth, polyhydramnios, hypertension or preeclampsia in the current pregnancy, history of recurrent miscarriage, offspring malfo...

Birth weight is an early predictor for metabolic diseases and microRNAs (miRNAs) are proposed as fetal programming participants. To evaluate the use of dried blood spots (DBS) on newborn screening cards (NSC) as a source of analyzable miRNAs, we optimized a commercial protocol to recover total miRNA from normal birth weight (NBW, n = 17-20), low birth weight (LBW, n = 17-20) and high birth weig...

PURPOSE to evaluate risk factors for the development of genital prolapse in the Brazilian population. METHODS case-control study involving 316 patients submitted to prolapse staging, according to the pelvic organ prolapse quantification system. The patients were divided into two groups: in the Case Group there were 107 patients with prolapse at stage III or IV, and in the Control Group, 209 w...
