Fetal growth restriction (FGR) due to placental insufficiency is a major risk factor for stillbirth. While small-for-gestational-age (SGA; weight < 10th centile) commonly used proxy FGR, detection of FGR among appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA; ≥ fetuses remains an unmet need in clinical care. We aimed determine whether reduced antenatal velocity from the time routine mid-trimester ultrasound associated with antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal indicators term AGA infants.Three hundred...
Objective To investigate whether fetuses with accelerated third trimester growth velocity are at increased risk of shoulder dystocia, even when they not large-for-gestational-age (LGA; estimated fetal weight (EFW) >95 th centile). Methods Fetal and birth outcome data were prospectively collected from 347 nulliparous women. Each had blinded ultrasound biometry performed 28 36 weeks’ gestation. Change in EFW abdominal circumference (AC) centiles between 28–36 weeks calculated, standardised...
CD8+ T cells play a central role in beta-cell destruction type 1 diabetes. use two main effector pathways to kill target cells, perforin plus granzymes and FAS ligand (FASL). We others have established that non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice, is the dominant molecule by which autoreactive beta cells. However, blocking FASL pharmacologically was shown protect NOD mice from diabetes, indicating may some role. can engage with its receptor on either as membrane bound or soluble FASL. It has been...
Postoperative ‘enhanced care’ models that sit between critical care and ward-based may allow for more cost-effective efficient utilisation of resources high-risk surgical patients. In this retrospective observational study, we describe an overnight intensive recovery model in a tertiary hospital, termed ‘recovery high dependency unit’, the characteristics, treatment, disposition at discharge in-hospital outcomes patients admitted to unit. We included all adult (≥18 years) unit least one hour...
Abstract Objective Audit of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) retrieval service operating in Victoria, Australia, regarding factors and patient survival to intensive care unit (ICU) discharge. Methods Retrospective cohort analysis Adult Retrieval Victoria ECMO retrievals with subsequent ICU admission ( n = 88) from January 2014 December 2017. Results Complications occurring during veno‐arterial transfer have significant association decreased discharge P 0.012). Mortality for...
OBJECTIVE To study the changes in unbound T3 concentration first trimester of pregnancy. DESIGN We measured serum before and after termination PATIENTS Twenty‐six clinically euthyrold women. MEASUREMENTS used one non‐analogue assay (Sciavo) three analogue assays (Amersham, Becton Dickinson Diagnostic Products Corporation). RESULTS Regression analysis did not show any significant agreement between assays. After pregnancy, as by Sciavo Amersham change whereas increased decreased respectively....
