Abstract Objective: The objective was to study the relationships between ultrasound estimated visceral fat and metabolic risk factors during early pregnancy. Research Methods Procedures: Thirty consecutive healthy pregnant women at 11 14 weeks of gestation were studied. Maximum subcutaneous thickness (SFT) (VFT) successfully measured by ultrasound. Fasting plasma glucose, insulin, triglycerides, total cholesterol, high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL‐C), blood pressure measured. Insulin...
Abstract Objectives To compare the Bishop score and transvaginal sonographic measurement of cervical length for predicting mode delivery following medically indicated induction labor in term patients. Methods The study was conducted prospectively 179 women who required labor. Inclusion criteria were singleton pregnancy, gestational age >37 weeks amenorrhea, cephalic presentation intact fetal membranes. Cervical measured upon arrival room but not considered when choosing procedure. Two...
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate pregnancy complications and obstetric perinatal outcomes in women with twin GDM. Study Design: An observational multicentre retrospective performed 534 pregnant woman 1068 twins infants allocated into two groups, 257 GDM 277 controls, were studied. Main Outcome Measures: Pregnant characteristics, hypertensive complications, preterm delivery rate, mode birthweight analysed. Results: older (p < 0.001) had higher body mass index than controls....
Abstract Aim. To compare pregnancy outcome and factors related to adverse perinatal in women with type 1 versus 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Material methods. Multicentre retrospective study. Some 404 were studied, 257 DM 147 DM. Main measures rates of prematurity, macrosomia, instrumental deliveries, congenital malformations, need for neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), mortality. Results. There no significant differences between DM, except an increased rate deliveries In these women,...
To analyze placental volume and vascularization at first trimester in women with pre-eclampsia, secondarily, the effect of maternal characteristics on development perinatal outcomes.This was a prospective cohort study including seen between 11 14 weeks pregnancy. Biophysical biochemical markers included screening program for aneuploidy were recorded. Placental indices obtained using three-dimensional power-Doppler imaging Virtual Organ Computer-aided Analysis (VOCAL) techniques.We compared...
<title>Abstract</title> Early-onset (EOPE) and late-onset preeclampsia (LOPE) pose significant challenges to maternal child health, highlighting the need for early, non-invasive risk identification. In this prospective longitudinal study, we followed 9,586 pregnant women, collecting blood samples each trimester: 9-14 weeks (T1), 18-28 (T2), after 28 or at diagnosis (T3). Plasma cell-free RNA (cfRNA) signatures were analyzed in women who developed EOPE (n=42) LOPE (n=43) compared matched...
To examine the relationship between newborn birth weight and first-trimester uterine artery (UtA) pulsatility index (PI), maternal characteristics, serum pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A), free β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) fetal nuchal translucency (NT) thickness. We also examined results of screening for large-for-gestational-age (LGA) neonates by an integrated approach incorporating these parameters.We evaluated NT, PAPP-A, β-hCG UtA-PI in 2097 singleton pregnancies...
Delayed brain function development in small-gestational-age (SGA) infants has been reported. We aimed to quantify rates of immature neonatal EEG patterns and their association with neurodevelopment SGA full-term neonates. Using a cohort design, 50 (birthweight <10th percentile) 44 appropriate-gestational-age (AGA) term neonates underwent continuous video-EEG recordings lasting >3 h. Seventy-three them were assessed at 2-years-old using Bayley-III-Scales. For analysis, several segments...
To determine whether full-term newborn infants of diabetic mothers (IDM) present immature/disorganised EEG patterns in the immediate neonatal period, and there was any relationship with maternal glycaemic control.Cohort study an incidental sample performed a tertiary hospital unit.23 IDM 22 healthy newborns born between 2010 2013.All underwent video-EEG recording lasting >90 min at 48-72 h life.We analysed percentage indeterminate sleep, transient sharp waves per hour mature-for-gestational...
Abstract Objectives. To test the hypothesis that fetal memory persists into neonatal period. Study design. Forty‐one newborns had been repeatedly stimulated by using vibroacoustic stimulation were compared with 31 controls. The same stimulator was used for both and tests. For stimulus applied against mastoid of newborn interposition a specifically designed solid–liquid interface to simulate intrauterine conditions. Student's t ‐test used. Results. Neonatal habituation rate (the number...
Background: Women with a history of preterm delivery have about twice the normal risk cardiovascular disease (CVD). Mechanisms underlying this association are not well understood. The aim present study was to evaluate relationships between selected metabolic CVD factors and markers both systemic inflammation endothelial dysfunction in women spontaneous labor (sPL). Methods: This case-control university tertiary referral center. Forty pregnant sPL were compared 50 controls during gestation....
To determine the effect of using customized vs. standard population birthweight curves to define large for gestational age (LGA) infants.We analyzed data obtained from 2,097 singleton pregnancies three different methods classifying newborn birthweight: curves, British or Spanish curves. We recorded maternal characteristics, proportion LGA newborns when each method, percentage according one method but not others, and concordance between methods.The was significantly lower than that calculated...
<b><i>Objective:</i></b> To determine whether the use of customized curves (CC) allows better detection large- (LGA) or small-for-gestational age (SGA) infants at risk adverse perinatal morbidity than non-CC in women with diabetes mellitus (DM). <b><i>Material and Methods:</i></b> A model CC was applied to all diabetic mothers (IDM) who attended Hospital Universitario Materno Infantil de Canarias between 2008 2011. We compared outcomes IDM...
What constitutes a "normal" background electroencephalography (EEG) rhythm immediately after birth is not well understood. We performed video-electroencephalography recordings in the first six hours (first measure) and third day of life (second for evidence transient changes brain function.We cohort study an incidental sample healthy term neonates single-center nursery. Main outcome measures were as follows: (1) EEG visual analysis, which included sleep-wake cycles, proportions discontinuity...
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> We evaluated the utility of placental volume and three-dimensional (3D) vascular flow indices to predict early late preeclampsia. <b><i>Material Methods:</i></b> In 1,004 pregnancies attending routine care, we recorded first-trimester screening program for aneuploidy (FTSA) parameter measured uterine artery pulsatility index (uterine-a PI). Placental were obtained using 3D power Doppler VOCAL techniques....
