conclusion our study revealed that the hypoplastic umbilical artery group’s non-dominant cia had higher ri values than the contralateral dominant cia. results eleven of the 165 patients (6.7%) demonstrated a hypoplastic umbilical artery. second-trimester us showed median dominant and non-dominant cia pi values of 1.43 and 1.60 (p = 0.062), respectively, and median dominant and non-dominant cia ...

Background: Abnormal umbilical cord pH can be indicated a distress imposed of newborn and can also be useful in determining the prognosis of the newborn. There are different views about the effect of the neonatal delivery method on the blood gas analysis of the umbilical artery. This study aimed to determine the effect of the method of delivery on umbilical artery pH. Methods: In this Cross ...

background: fetal color doppler is important for evaluation of hypoxia in intrauterine growth restriction (iugr) fetus. objective: in this study we compare fetal and maternal color doppler with blood gas analysis to detect fetal acidosis. materials and methods: in this cross-sectional study we evaluated 100 hospitalized patients with iugr for comparison of color doppler results with arterial bl...

abstract background: it has been demonstrated that noscapine, an antitussive opioid alkaloid, could antagonize bradykinin- induced responses such as bradykinin effects in guinea-pig ileum, cough induced by bradykinin receptor agonist and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, and brain damage after brain edema both in neonatal rat model and in patients with stroke. in the present study, the ...

background: doppler indices of umbilical artery are used as indicator of fetal well being. objective: to compare doppler parameters of umbilical artery including pulsatility index (pi) and resistance index (ri) in patients with preeclampsia with those of normal pregnancies and to evaluate the diagnostic characteristics of these parameters in preeclampsia. materials and methods: in a case contro...

conclusions in the absence of associated anomalies, the risk of incidence of adverse events does not appear to be increased significantly with isolated sua. therefore, supplementary assessment and invasive tests are not recommended in fetuses with isolated sua, unless fetal abnormalities are detected in routine evaluations. background the umbilical cord normally consists of two arteries and one...

Background Fetal growth restriction is the second leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. The incidence of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is estimated to be approximately 5 percent in the general obstetric population. Abnormal uterine artery suggest a maternal cause for the growth restriction where as normal uterine artery Doppler studies suggest that a fetal cause. Use of u...

OBJECTIVE To identify risk factors for fetuses and neonates with single umbilical artery and isolated single umbilical artery (single umbilical artery in the absence of chromosomal abnormalities and structural abnormalities) and to assess whether there is an increased risk for complications during pregnancy, labor, and delivery, and for perinatal morbidity and mortality. METHODS A population-...

 Abstract Background: It has been demonstrated that noscapine, an antitussive opioid alkaloid, could antagonize bradykinin- induced responses such as bradykinin effects in guinea-pig ileum, cough induced by bradykinin receptor agonist and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, and brain damage after brain edema both in neonatal rat model and in patients with stroke.
