OBJECTIVE To investigate the potential value of repeat measurements of uterine artery pulsatility index (UtA-PI), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and serum placental growth factor (PlGF) at 12, 22 and 32 weeks' gestation in the prediction of pre-eclampsia (PE) developing after 32 weeks. METHODS Data were derived from prospective screening for adverse obstetric outcomes in women attending their r...

More than 60 years after an illicit love affair had occurred between Erika H, wife of a Wehrmacht soldier, and a Polish slave worker during World War II, we could clarify the blood relationships of her daughter Uta. When Erika H had become pregnant both of the men could have fathered the child. Erika H was found guilty of fraternization and imprisoned at Ravensbrück concentration camp. She gave...

We introduce the unsupervised text annotation model UTA, which iteratively populates a document-specific database containing the related symbolic content description. The model identifies the most related documents using the text of documents and the symbolic content description. UTA extends the database of one document with data from related documents without ignoring the precision.

The early recognition of potentially harmful traffic situations is an important goal of vision based driver assistance systems. Pedestrians, in particular children, are highly endangered in inner city traffic. Within the DaimlerChrysler UTA (Urban Traffic Assistance) project, we are using stereo vision and motion analysis in order to manage those situations. The flow/depth constraint combines b...

including the potential acquisition of 49,000 acres for a state park, this deal contains numerous ‘poison pill’ provisions, including the development of Tejon Mountain Village in the heart of condor critical habitat and Centennial, the largest single development ever to be proposed in California.” The Tejon Mountain Village project will result in the building of 3,400 homes in the Tehachapi mou...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to assess possible differences between a group of residents of public nursing homes (PNH) and a group of members of Universities of the Third Age (UTA) measured using standard psychometric scales. MATERIALS AND METHODS The research was conducted between January 3, 2013 and February 15, 2014 on a group of 200 residents of PNH and 200 members of the UTA using f...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the potential value of uterine artery (UtA) pulsatility index (PI) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) at 30-34 weeks' gestation in the prediction of small-for-gestational-age (SGA) neonates, in the absence of pre-eclampsia (PE). METHODS This was a screening study in singleton pregnancies at 30-34 weeks' gestation, including 1727 that delivered SGA neonates with a birth ...

OBJECTIVES To determine the value of combined screening for pre-eclampsia by maternal history, and mid-trimester uterine artery (UtA) Doppler imaging and maternal blood pressure. METHODS In 3529 singleton pregnancies attending for routine care at 22-24 weeks' gestation we recorded maternal variables, and made UtA Doppler and mean arterial pressure (MAP) measurements. Multiple regression analy...
