Small-for-gestational-age (SGA) confers a higher perinatal risk of adverse outcomes. Birthweight cannot be accurately measured until delivery, therefore accurate estimated fetal weight (EFW) based on ultrasonography is important in identifying this high-risk population. We aimed to establish the sensitivity detecting SGA infants antenatally unit with selective third-trimester ultrasound policy and investigate association between EFW birthweight these babies.A retrospective cohort study was...
Protein sequences are normally the most conserved elements of genomes owing to purifying selection maintain their functions. We document an extraordinary amount within-species protein sequence variation in model eukaryote Dictyostelium discoideum stemming from triplet DNA repeats coding for long strings single amino acids. D. has a very large number such strings, many which polyglutamine repeats, same that causes various human neurological disorders humans, like Huntington's disease. show...
Abstract Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B ; GBS) is a common cause of sepsis in neonates. Previous work detected GBS DNA the placenta ~5% women before onset labour, but clinical significance this finding unknown. Here we re-analysed dataset as case control study neonatal unit (NNU) admission. Of 436 infants born at term (≥37 weeks gestation), 7/30 with placental and 34/406 without were admitted to NNU (odds ratio (OR) 3.3, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.3–7.8). We then performed validation...

Small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infants have an increased risk of stillbirth, particularly if their weight is <5th percentile for gestational age. Growth scans are usually carried out suspicion SGA following symphysio-fundal height (SFH) measurements, unless there another indication. We reported a 29% antenatal detection rate <10th percentile. hypothesised that the would be better more extreme (birth percentile). A retrospective cohort study was conducted between October –December 2017 in...
Our previous work has demonstrated growth scans fail to identify over 40% of infants SGA<10th and <5th percentiles antenatally, with poor sensitivity even if undertaken within 2 weeks delivery. We aimed establish there is a relationship between the estimated fetal weight (EFW) measured delivery actual birthweight (BW). A retrospective cohort study was conducted October–December 2017 in large London hospital trust. Inclusion criteria included: (i) born SGA (<10th percentile for gestational...
Small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infants are at risk of antenatal complications, most seriously stillbirth. Unless a third trimester ultrasound scan is otherwise indicated, detection SGA relies on symphysio-fundal height (SFH) measurement. Limited data available rates in the UK. We aimed to assess our ability detect antenatally. A retrospective cohort study was conducted over 3 months, October–December 2017, across large London hospital Trust. Infants born with birthweight <10th percentile...
Our previous work has demonstrated growth scans fail to diagnose 40% of SGA infants in whom an ultrasound scan was undertaken within 2 weeks delivery. We aim establish the relationship between difference estimated fetal weight (EFW) and birthweight (BW) relation time interval A retrospective cohort study conducted October 2017 December across two maternity units one large inner-city London trust. Inclusion criteria included: (i) born (WHO criteria), (ii) had a delivery (iii) delivered after...
We investigate if in severe fetal growth restriction fetuses lose weight between their final scan and delivery. hypothesise babies who ultrasound delivery would have abnormal Doppler measurements. A retrospective cohort study was conducted of all term deliveries a had scans within 2 weeks London maternity trust 2018. Multiple pregnancies, known anomalies stillbirths were excluded. Estimated calculated using the Hadlock formulae. Data analysed by Spearman rank correlation. There positive...
We investigate if there is a relationship between the time interval and change in weight estimated fetal (EFW) birthweight (BW), babies scanned within 2 weeks of delivery. A retrospective cohort study was conducted all term deliveries who were delivery London maternity trust 2018. Multiple pregnancies, known anomalies stillbirths excluded. Percentile at calculated according to WHO reference ranges. EFW using Hadlock formulae. Data analysed by Spearman rank correlation or Kruskal-Wallis with...
To evaluate the prediction of low birth weight (BW) using longitudinal individual fetal growth measurement in suspected late restriction (FGR). This is a secondary analysis from multicentre observational study (TRUFFLE2) April 2017 to July 2018.Women at 32–36 weeks with suspect FGR (estimated (EFW) <p10 or abdominal circumference drop > p40) were monitored by 2-weekly biometry and Doppler assessment. Umbilico-cerebral ratio (UCR) ≥ 0.9 was classified as abnormal categorised for gestational...
To assess the association of fetal growth and cerebral blood flow redistribution, umbilico-cerebral ratio (UCR) or short-term neonatal outcome in suspected late restriction (FGR). This is a secondary analysis from multicentre observational study (TRUFFLE2) April 2017 to July 2018. Women at 32-36 weeks with suspect FGR (estimated weight (EFW) <p10 abdominal circumference drop >p40) were monitored by 2-weekly biometry Doppler assessment.
