of recommendationsCorticosteroids should be administered to women at a gestational age between 24+0 and 33+6 weeks, when preterm birth is anticipated in the next seven days, as these have been consistently shown reduce neonatal mortality morbidity. (Strong-quality evidence; strong recommendation). In selected cases, extension this period up 34+6 weeks may considered (Expert opinion). Optimal benefits are found infants delivered within 7 days corticosteroid administration. Even single-dose...
(1) Background: Our survey aimed to gather information on respiratory care in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) the European and Mediterranean region. (2) Methods: Cross-sectional electronic survey. An 89-item questionnaire focusing current modes, devices, strategies employed neonatal units domain of was sent directors/heads 528 NICUs. The adherence “European consensus guidelines management distress syndrome” assessed for comparison. (3) Results: response rate 75% (397/528 units). In...
Abstract Background Our survey aimed to compare information on respiratory care in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) Italy and the European Mediterranean region. Methods Cross-sectional electronic survey. An 89-item questionnaire focusing current modes, devices, strategies employed neonatal units domain of was sent directors/heads 528 NICUs. Results The response rate 75% (397/528 units). median number NICU beds admission per unit/year preterm infants < 1500 g significantly lower...
We aimed to evaluate the policies and practices about neonatal resuscitation in a large sample of European hospitals.This was cross-sectional electronic survey. A 91-item questionnaire focusing on current delivery room domains individually sent directors 730 facilities or (in 5 countries) made available as Web-based link. comparison between hospitals with ≤2,000 those >2,000 births/year areas (Eastern Europe, Italy, Mediterranean countries, Turkey, Western Europe).The response rate 57%...
Objective. This study was conducted to evaluate the diagnostic value of different sonographic signs fetuses with Turner syndrome in first and second trimesters pregnancy. Methods. Between 1990 2004, found 69 22,150 fetal karyotypings. Congenital anomalies detected by sonography were analyzed. Results. Of 514 (2.3%; 514/22,150) chromosome aberrations that diagnosed, cases (13.4%; 69/514). Twenty‐four had a 45,X karyotype (34.8%), 45 mosaic (65.2%). Forty‐seven (68.1%; 47/69) showed symptoms...
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) use in neonatal resuscitation is limited despite existing evidence and recommendations. This survey investigated the knowledge experience of healthcare providers on LMA explored barriers solutions for implementation. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> online, cross-sectional involved professionals Union European Neonatal Perinatal Societies (UENPS). <b><i>Results:</i></b> A...
In Brief OBJECTIVE: To evaluate factors influencing parental decisions toward continuing or terminating a pregnancy with prenatal diagnosis of sex chromosome aneuploidy. METHODS: We reviewed the records patients fetuses aneuploidy between 1990 and 2001. A questionnaire survey women who chose to terminate such pregnancies was designed examine aspects their decision-making process. RESULTS: Forty-nine 89 were terminated (termination rate 0.55; 95% confidence interval 0.45–0.65). Pregnancies...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the role second-trimester sonographic examination in prenatal diagnosis trisomy 13.Of 22,150 fetal chromosome analyses, 28 fetuses with 13 were found between 1990 and 2004. Sonographic findings aneuploidy analyzed study.The average maternal age 32.4 years; gestational 19.5 weeks. There an 89.3% (n = 25) total prevalence abnormalities series. Major (structural) malformations seen 23 cases (82.1%), whereas minor anomalies detected on sonography 16...
The authors investigated the incidence of chromosomal abnormalities in subcutaneous oedema detected fetus by intrauterine ultrasonography.In 10-year period, karyotyping was performed pregnancies with positive ultrasound findings for oedema, such as nuchal cystic hygroma and non-immune hydrops.Intrauterine fetal carried out 434 cases. investigation made 374 cases, 120 patients examination first trimester because translucency, 254 cases second thickening. Cystic (27 patients), hydrops (20...
<i>Objectives:</i> Second-trimester genetic amniocentesis is the most frequently used invasive prenatal diagnostic technique. Several reports have been published about effect of on fetal loss in multiple pregnancies over past two decades. Here we analyze our experience with 10 years. <i>Methods:</i> Details 184 were processed all cases whom was performed women who presented at department since 1990. The outcomes 175 (95.1%) out amniocenteses available to us. As a...
One of the frequent reasons for unsuccessful conception is premature ovarian failure/primary insufficiency (POF/POI) that defined as loss functional follicles below age 40 years. Among genetic causes most common one involves X chromosome, in Turner syndrome, partial deletion and X-autosome translocations. Here we report a case 27-year-old female patient referred to counselling because failure. The aim this study perform molecular cytogenetic analyses order identify exact background...
This study was conducted to evaluate the major demographic details, diagnostical and clinical features, as well risk of recurrence cases with types neural tube defects (NTD). We also examined efficiency ultrasonography based on autopsy examinations during 26 years.The investigations were made into sample 743 NTD diagnosed between 1 January 1976 31 December 2002. A computerized database used sum up available information about individual cases; in addition surveying couples' we had opportunity...
The aim of this study was to review and summarize the information regarding etiology, diagnostics outcome ventriculomegaly.The included 230 cases ventriculomegaly examined between 1979 2000. main diagnostic criterion for transverse diameter ventricular atrium at level glomus chorioid plexus measuring >10 mm, irrespective gestational age.Gender distribution (male:female ratio: 0.98) coincided with that general population. In 32% (72/230), history positive; 6% (12/230) had a positive genetic...
To evaluate the rate of chromosome abnormalities in cases uni- and bilateral choroid plexus cysts (CPCs).A total 10,875 ultrasound (US) examinations were performed second trimester, 435 with CPC (4%) found. After genetic counseling, 45 patients decided not to undergo karyotyping. The authors a analysis 390 CPCs.The risk was 3.59% (n = 14) trisomies 2.05% 8). Trisomy 18 found 6 (1.54%), trisomy 21 1 case (0.26%), 9 (0.26%). 45,X karyotype 0.77% 3). One 47,XXY 2 other In 212 unilateral there 7...
Iniencephaly is quite a rare malformation the etiology of which still not fully understood. In majority cases it grave and lethal condition. It often complicated by other abnormalities affecting central nervous system (spina bifida, anencephaly), but malformations involving organs systems may also be observed. Based on 24 authors have surveyed diagnostics iniencephaly with special regard to disorders non-central systems. addition, they compared results prenatal pathological investigations....
Introduction: The corpus callosum is one of the five main cerebral commissures. It key to combining sensory and motor functions. Its structure can be pathological (dysgenesis) or completely absent (agenesis). dys- agenesis a rare disease (1:4000 live births), but it have serious mental effects. Methods: In our study, we processed data 64 pregnant women. They attended prenatal diagnostic center genetic counseling from 2005 2019 at Department Obstetrics Gynecology Semmelweis University....

The authors describe experiences gained over the period of 1984–1999 at two medical centers with chorionic villus sampling (CVS). Altogether 1,149 CVSs had been performed between 10th and 32nd gestational weeks. Prior to 1993 transcervical approach (TC-CVS), after 1994 transabdominal method (TA-CVS) was used. Analysis data collected within framework this study based on following factors: indications for sampling, complications incidence pregnancy loss. 91.6% were carried out purposes...
