To evaluate the relationship between fetal intertwin difference in middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity (MCA-PSV) and hemoglobin (Hb) concentration at birth monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twin pregnancies order to assess its potential role prediction of anemia-polycythemia sequence (TAPS).This was a retrospective cohort study MCDA delivered January 2012 2018. All with measurements MCA-PSV within 7 days prior delivery which neonatal Hb available were included. The correlation...
Introduction: The best route of delivery for the term breech fetus is still controversial. We aim to compare maternal and neonatal outcomes between vaginal cesarean deliveries.Material Methods: Multicentric retrospective cohort study singleton fetuses delivered vaginally or by elective section from January 2012 - October 2014. Primary were morbidity mortality.Results: Sixty five compared 1262 cesarean. Nulliparous women more common in group (69.3% vs 24.6%; p < 0.0001). Gestational age at...
To compare delivery route and admission rate to neonatal intensive care unit between small- appropriate-for-gestational-age babies among low-risk term pregnancies.A retrospective study was conducted using the database of deliveries in 2014 at a tertiary hospital. Babies delivered ≥37 weeks with birthweight <10th centile were considered small-for-gestational-age (SGA) >90th large-for-gestational-age. Fetal weight estimation 30-33 ultrasound antenatal detection SGA.Among 1429 pregnancies, 11%...
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy 35–37 weeks’ ultrasound for fetal growth restriction (FGR) detection and impact 30th–33rd weeks versus 35th–37th on perinatal outcomes. Methods: This a randomized controlled trial that enrolled 1,061 low-risk pregnant women: 513 in control group (routine performed at weeks) 548 (with an additional weeks). FGR defined as fetus with estimated weight (EFW) below 10th percentile. p values < 0.05 were considered statistically...
Abstract The aim of our study was to compare maternal, chorionicity and neonatal complications in monochorionic (MC) twins between spontaneously conceived (SC) assisted reproductive technologies (ART) pregnancies. This a retrospective cohort January 2010 December 2019 at tertiary referral University center. All consecutive pregnancies with MC that delivered hospital were included. Maternal, recorded compared SC ART 393 included for final analysis, including 353 (89.8%) 40 (10.2%) after ART....
Background: Fetal vascular malperfusion refers to placental lesions indicating reduced or absent perfusion of the villous parenchyma by fetus. remains an underrecognized condition that is associated with adverse perinatal outcomes. It may also predispose infants thromboembolic events. There are few cases described inferior vena cava and renal vein thrombosis in asymptomatic newborn. Case presentation: We report case female neonate delivered at 32 weeks gestation a mother type 1 diabetes...
To assess whether there is a need to correct first-trimester biochemical markers (free beta-hCG and PAPP-A) in Brazilian population from private center Rio de Janeiro (Perinatal Group—Laranjeiras) while screening for Down syndrome using the Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF) algorithm. The data 546 women undergoing first trimester combined fetal were analyzed derive our population-specific medians. observed medians compared those based on original algorithm of Caucasians. median maternal serum...
The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness first-trimester screening using a combination maternal age, nuchal translucency thickness (NT) and serum free beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) levels for aneuploidy in Brazilian population Rio de Janeiro. This retrospective 546 women who underwent combined between 11 + 0 13 6 weeks gestation fetal medicine unit Janeiro (Perinatal Group—Laranjeiras). NT measured according criteria set...
Vorstellung einer Erstgebärenden mit 33+3 Schwangerschaftswochen (SSW) bei monochorialer-diamnioter Zwillingsschwangerschaft. Im zweiten Trimenon engmaschige Verlaufskontrollen Fruchtwasserdiskrepanz tiefstem vertikalen Depot von maximal 8 cm (Fetus 1) und minimal 2,5 2). Ab der 24. SSW zeigten sich die Fruchtwassermengen weitere 2-wöchige dopplersonografische Verlauf unauffällig.
Monochoriale Zwillingsschwangerschaften sind aufgrund der spezifischen Komplikationen plazentaren Gefäßanastomosen mit einem hohen Risiko an vergesellschaftet. Der Wunsch nach einer vaginalen Entbindung in dieser Gruppe von Schwangeren wird immer wieder kritisch diskutiert.

In the context of swimming there is a shortage research in relay. One challenges to minimize time exit swimmer block with other one that touches wall, we focus on study visual abilities relays, because it seems us relevant cognitive analysis for motor action, verifying application training program perception The aim this was verify what extent, an additional program, technique relay improves reaction time. sample consisted 28 swimmers (N = 28) aged 16.36 ± 4.49 years. results difference...
Objective To evaluate the accuracy of 35-37 weeks‘ ultrasound for fetal growth restriction (FGR) detection and impact 30th-33rd weeks vs 35th-37th on perinatal outcomes. Design A prospective randomized trial Setting Tertiary referral hospital in Portugal. Population Low risk pregnant women Methods We enrolled 1061 women: 513 control group (ultrasound at weeks) 548 study (with an additional weeks). FGR was defined as estimated weight (EFW) below 10th percentile. calculated overall weeks’...
