To describe fetal ultrasonographic findings and outcomes in a series of cases microcephaly associated with Zika virus infection.Retrospective case definite (laboratory evidence) or highly probable (specific neuroimaging negative laboratory results) maternal infection. Microcephaly was graded as mild if the head circumference between 2 3 standard deviation (SD) below mean, severe more SD mean. Associated central nervous system (CNS) extracranial malformations are described.Nineteen singleton...
Premature birth and its complications are the largest contributors to infant death in United States globally. A short cervical length depletion of Lactobacillus species known risk factors for preterm birth. However, many resource-poor areas world, technology test their occurrence is unavailable, pregnant women with these neither identified nor treated. In this study, we used path analysis gain an unprecedented understanding interactions between vaginal microbiome composition, concentrations...
To evaluate the ability of pubic arch angle (PAA) as measured by transperineal ultrasonography during labor to predict delivery type and cephalic pole disengagement mode. The present prospective cross-sectional study included 221 women in singleton-gestational ≥ 37 weeks with fetuses who underwent PAA measurement using ultrasonography. These measurements were correlated type, mode, fetal maternal characteristics. Out subjects, 153 (69.2%) had spontaneous vaginal delivery, 7 (3.2%) gave birth...
To evaluate the relevance of angle progression (AOP) and head-perineum distance (HPD) for predicting type delivery duration second stage labor using intrapartum ultrasonography.In total, 221 women in with a single gestational sac at ≥37 weeks gestation fetuses cephalic presentation underwent two-dimensional ultrasonography by transperineal route measurements AOP HPD. Correlations between (vaginal or surgical (cesarean section forceps)), labor, fetal maternal characteristics were assessed....
Objective To assess and compare the sensitivity specificity of ultrasonography magnetic resonance imaging in diagnosis placenta accreta patients with previa. Methods This retrospective cohort study included 37 women, was conducted between January 2013 October 2015; 16 out women suffered from accreta. Histopathology considered gold standard for accreta; its absence, a description intraoperative findings used. The associations among variables were investigated using Pearson chi-squared test...
Background. Dunnigan-type familial partial lipodystrophy, a rare autosomal dominant disease caused by heterozygous missense mutations in LMNA gene presents regional loss of subcutaneous adipose tissue from puberty. But the same mutation may present huge clinical heterogeneity. Methods. We report 4 patients family with p.R582C mutation, 3 them homozygous and 1 state, presenting distinct lipodystrophic phenotypes we compare their metabolic features. Results. Case descriptions: The proband: 12...
To compare the results of maternal and perinatal pregnancies obese women after bariatric surgery.A retrospective cross-sectional study was carried out on 63 who had undergone surgery 73 (control). Demographic data, characteristics surgery, were evaluated. The Student's t-test chi-square test (χ2) used to groups. gestational complications prevalence diabetes mellitus, anemia, preeclampsia analyzed using simple multivariate logistical regression odd ratios (OD) with their respective confidence...
Objective: To verify the relationship between time of clamping umbilical cord and development neonatal jaundice, dosage bilirubin need for phototherapy. Methods: Cross-sectional, retrospective study with 398 parturients at normal risk (single term gestation, no complications during gestation or delivery, birth weight 2500 4499 g). The population was divided into three groups regarding clamping: <1 min(117, 29.4%), 1 3 min(228, 57.3%) >3 min(53, 13.3%). Sociodemographic, clinical obstetric...

Abstract Background Predictors of spontaneous preterm birth in primigravid women remain undetermined. Aim We evaluated whether biomarkers vaginal secretions and/or differences the dominant bacterium microbiome predicted risk for with a cervical length >25mm. Study design In prospective study, 146 second trimester pregnant their first conception and cervix >25mm were enrolled. The composition was characterized by analysis 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequences. concentrations d- l-lactic acid,...

Congenital goiter is considered a rare occurrence, and may be related to hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, or euthyroidism. In this report, we describe case of fetal identified in the 34th gestational week 41-year-old secundigravida with normal thyroid functions.
