Objectives To prospectively measure the distance from placental cord insertion (PCI) site to margin using digital imaging and examine association between abnormal PCI adverse pregnancy outcomes in singleton pregnancies. Study Design This prospective cohort study examined 1,005 placentas consecutively delivered pregnancies a tertiary center. Standardized images of each placenta were taken measurement was performed ImageJ software. Results The rates velamentous (insertion into membrane)...
The level of knowledge Listeria among mothers in Ireland is unknown. This prospective questionnaire study aims to evaluate the recently delivered regarding infection and its potential prevention. A response rate 98% was achieved. total 271 (43.9%) had heard about but only 187 (30.3%) knew that it a food-borne pathogen. In total, 83 (13.5%) recalled being told by midwife or doctor 33 (5.3%) receiving written information. 224 (36.3%) were aware increased risk listeriosis during pregnancy,...
Introduction: Individual placental and umbilical cord morphometry have been previously identified to an association with fetal growth. This study aims identify which of the morphometric measurements in combination are associated pregnancies small for gestational age (SGA) infants using digital imaging delivered placenta.Material methods: examined 1005 placentas from consecutively singleton a tertiary center. Standardized images each placenta were taken. Placental weight thickness; length...
Abstract Background Excess abdominal adiposity cause metabolic disturbances, particularly in pregnancy. Methods of accurate measurement are limited pregnancy due to risks associated with these procedures. This study outlines a non-invasive methodology for the adipose tissue and determines intra- inter-observer reliability ultrasound (US) measurements two components (subcutaneous (SAT) visceral (VAT)) within pregnant population. Thirty women were recruited at end their first trimester, from...

Abstract Objectives This article prospectively examines the use of ultrasound for antenatal detection abnormal placental cord insertion (PCI) and compares classification with delivered classification. Study Design prospective cohort study examined 277 singleton pregnancies in a tertiary center. Scans were performed between 10 14, 18 22, 32 34 weeks where PCI site was identified its shortest distance to margin measured. Standardized images placentas taken digitally Sensitivity, specificity,...
