in vivo Monitoring with micro-implantable hypoxia sensor based on tissue acidosis
Hypoxia is a common medical problem, sometimes difficult to detect and caused by different situations. Control of hypoxia is of great medical importance and early detection is essential to prevent life threatening ...
Cardiac and placental mitochondrial characterization in a rabbit model of intrauterine growth restriction
BACKGROUND: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is associated with cardiovascular remodeling persisting into adulthood. Mitochondrial bioenergetics, essential for embryonic development and cardiovascular function, are ...
Mortality and severe neurological morbidity in extremely preterm fetal growth-restricted fetuses
Objective: To develop a model for the prediction of adverse perinatal outcome in growth-restricted fetuses requiring delivery before 28 weeks in order to provide individualized patient counseling. Methods: This was a ...
Association of central obesity with unique cardiac remodelling in young adults born small for gestational age
Being born small for gestational age (SGA, 10% of all births) is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular mortality in adulthood together with lower exercise tolerance, but mechanistic pathways are unclear. Central ...
INTERGROWTH-21st versus a customized method for the prediction of neonatal nutritional status in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy
Background: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) generate complications and are one of the principal causes of maternal, foetal, and neonatal mortality worldwide. It has been observed that in pregnancies with HDP, the ...
Transgenerational transmission of small for gestational age
Objective: To evaluate the transgenerational transmission of small for gestational age. Methods: Cohort study including a random sample of 2,043 offspring of deliveries occurring from 1975 to 1993. Of 623 offspring -now ...
A Rapid Amniotic Fluid Interleukin-6 Assessment for the Identification of Intra-Amniotic Inflammation in Women with Preterm Labor and Intact Membranes
Objectives: A multivariable predictive model has recently been developed with good accuracy to predict spontaneous preterm delivery within 7 days in women with preterm labor (PTL) and intact membranes. However, this model ...
Postnatal persistence of fetal cardiovascular remodelling associated with assisted reproductivetechnologies: a cohort study
OBJECTIVE: To assess the postnatal persistence of fetal cardiovascular remodelling associated with assisted reproductive technologies (ART) in children at 3 years of age. DESIGN: A cohort study of children conceived by ...
Maternal stress, anxiety, well-being, and sleep quality in pregnant women throughout gestation
Background: Maternal stress, anxiety, well-being, and sleep quality during pregnancy have been described as influencing factors during pregnancy. Aim: We aimed to describe maternal stress, anxiety, well-being, and sleep ...
Differential correlations between maternal hair levels of tobacco and alcohol with fetal growth restriction clinical subtypes
Maternal exposure to tobacco and alcohol is a known cause, among others, for fetal growth restriction (FGR). Clinically, FGR can be subclassified into two forms: intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and small for gestational ...
Prediction of neonatal respiratory morbidity by quantitative ultrasound lung texture analysis: a multicenter study.
BACKGROUND: Prediction of neonatal respiratory morbidity may be useful to plan delivery in complicated pregnancies. The limited predictive performance of the current diagnostic tests together with the risks of an invasive ...
Quantitative ultrasound image analysis of axillary lymph nodes to differentiate malignancy from reactive benign changes due to COVID-19 vaccination
Purpose: The aim of this study is to assess the potential of quantitative image analysis and machine learning techniques to differentiate between malignant lymph nodes and benign lymph nodes affected by reactive changes ...
Rabbit neurospheres as a novel in vitro tool for studying neurodevelopmental effects induced by intrauterine growth restriction
The aim of this study was to develop a rabbit neurosphere culture to characterize differences in basic processes of neurogenesis induced by intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). A novel in vitro neurosphere culture has ...
Uncomplicated monochorionic twins: two normal hearts sharing one placenta
Cardiovascular dysfunction has been reported in complicated monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) pregnancies; however, little is known whether hemodynamic changes occur in uncomplicated MCDA twins. A prospective observational ...
Permanent cardiac sarcomere changes in a rabbit model of intrauterine growth restriction
Background: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) induces fetal cardiac remodelling and dysfunction, which persists postnatally and may explain the link between low birth weight and increased cardiovascular mortality in ...
Mitochondrial toxicity and caspase activation in HIV pregnant women.
To assess the impact of HIV-infection and highly active anti-retroviral treatment in mitochondria and apoptotic activation of caspases during pregnancy and their association with adverse perinatal outcome. Changes of ...
Novel Interventions on Comorbidities in Patients with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD): An Integrative Review
Prenatal exposure to alcohol can cause Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASDs) after birth, encompassing a spectrum of physical, cognitive, and behavioral abnormalities. FASD represents a severe non-genetic disability ...
Long-term cardiovascular consequences of fetal growth restriction: biology, clinical implications, and opportunities for prevention of adult disease
In the modern world, cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death for both men and women. Epidemiologic studies consistently have suggested an association between low birthweight and/or fetal growth restriction and ...
Metabolomics reveals metabolic alterations by intrauterine growth restriction in the fetal rabbit brain
Background: Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR) due to placental insufficiency occurs in 5-10% of pregnancies and is a major risk factor for abnormal neurodevelopment. The perinatal diagnosis of IUGR related abnormal ...
Corrigendum: Structural Brain Network Reorganization and Social Cognition Related to Adverse Perinatal Condition from Infancy to Early Adolescence
In the original article, we omitted a reference to Réveillon et al. (2016) regarding the description of the neuropsychological tests performed by the children and the association between IUGR and hyperactivity/inattention ...
