Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is defined as the failure of fetus to meet its potential due a pathological factor, most commonly placental dysfunction. Worldwide, FGR leading cause stillbirth, neonatal mortality, and short- long-term morbidity. Ongoing advances in clinical care, especially definitions, diagnosis, management FGR, require efforts effectively translate these changes wide range obstetric care providers. This article highlights agreements based on current research diagnosis areas...
To determine the immunogenicity and reactogenicity of Pfizer/BioNTech BNT162b2 mRNA coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine among pregnant women compared with non-pregnant women, to evaluate obstetric outcome following vaccination.
The exclusion of pregnant women from initial COVID-19 messenger RNA vaccine trials raised hesitancy regarding the benefits vaccination for women, hence little is known about vaccines' efficacy in this population.To determine maternal-neonatal transplacental transfer SARS-CoV-2 antibodies among vaccinated parturient women. A control group COVID-19-recovered patients was included to compare immunoglobulin G levels between and recovered patients.This a prospective cohort study conducted single...
Background— Women with a history of placental disease are at increased risk for the future development vascular disease. It is unknown whether preexisting endothelial dysfunction underlies both predisposition to and later The aim this study was assess function in postpartum women determine differences emerged depending on presentation Methods Results— early-onset preeclampsia (n=15), late-onset (n=9), intrauterine growth restriction without prior normal pregnancy (n=16) were studied 6 24...
Insights into the ontogeny of human fetal adaptive immune system are great value for understanding immunocompetence developing fetus. However, to date, this has remained largely uncharted territory, in large part because blood samples from healthy, early gestation fetuses have been hard come by. In a comprehensive study, we analyzed levels T cell receptor excision circles (TRECs), signal-joint κ (sjKRECs), and intron recombination signal sequence-K-deleting element (iRSS-Kde) rearrangement,...
To determine the outcome of pregnancies with documented fetal cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and without abnormal findings on ultrasound examination magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).In this prospective cohort study pregnant women CMV infection, vertical transmission occurred during first second trimesters following primary maternal infection. Patients underwent serial prenatal scans MRI. All neonates ocular fundus examination, brain scan hearing evaluation, were then followed periodically...
Abstract Objective Emerging evidence indicates that chorioamnionitis is associated with a significant decrease in thymic size at birth very low weight (VLBW) preterm infants. The aim of this study was to determine whether decreased fetal thymus histological or clinical patients premature rupture membranes (PROM). Methods Twenty‐one between 24 and 35 weeks gestation PROM were included. Serial ultrasound examinations performed during the latency period, measurements obtained. Small defined as...
Abstract Objective To determine the natural history and outcome of fetal cardiac tumors. Methods This was a retrospective cohort study all prenatally detected cases tumors at tertiary care center. Results Forty fetuses were identified to have one or several in association with hydrops (18%), ventricular obstruction (30%) and/or arrhythmia (13%). Of 33 rhabdomyoma, three patients elected terminate pregnancy, four offspring died birth 26 (79%) survived. On follow‐up, 95% live‐born rhabdomyomas...
Abstract Objective To evaluate perinatal outcome of fetuses with primary pleural effusions following pleuroamniotic shunting. Methods This was a retrospective study 88 large referred to tertiary fetal medicine unit between 1991 and 2008 which, after thorough work‐up, underwent Results At presentation, 59 (67.0%) were hydropic 67 (76.1%) had bilateral effusions. In 17 (19.3%) fetuses, fluid aspirated prior shunting in 71 (80.7%), shunts inserted directly as the first procedure. Mean...

COVID-19 infection imposes a risk for pregnant individuals and may lead to adverse maternal obstetric outcomes. This is retrospective cohort study of all women giving birth between March July 2021 at single tertiary center. Obstetric neonatal outcomes were compared vaccinated non-vaccinated with singleton pregnancies. Women prior infection, multiple gestations stillbirth excluded from the study. Of 4708 who delivered during period, 3700 met eligibility criteria, whom 3240 pregnancy. Compared...
In Brief OBJECTIVE: To evaluate pregnancy complications occurring after age 50. METHODS: We compared the outcomes of women aged 50–64 years with those 45–49 and general population. RESULTS: During 5 from January 1, 1999, to June 30, 2004, 123 45 older gave birth. Fifty-five percent were nulliparous, 24 years, 99 years. All than 50 conceived via in vitro fertilization oocyte donation. For these women, overall mean gestational at delivery was 37.6±2.6 weeks. The birth weight 2,684±754 g,...
Our aim was to define the association between early onset intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR) due placental insufficiency and hypospadias in males. We prospectively studied a cohort of small-for-gestational age (SGA) male infants with managed by multidisciplinary team over 5-year period. Thirty SGA were diagnosed hypospadias/abnormal genitalia after birth, four them antenatally. Five cases occurred smaller pair discordant IUGR twins, where larger co-twin had normal genitalia. Serial...
Abstract Objective To determine perinatal outcome in pregnancies with early severe red blood cell (RBC) alloimmunization. Methods This was a retrospective analysis of 30 patients requiring their first intrauterine transfusion (IUT) at < 22 weeks gestation. Timing the IUT based on evaluation either middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity (MCA‐PSV) or development ascites. Results Thirty‐three per cent had experienced previous fetal death as result RBC Of these alloimmunized...
