Fetal movement is an important biological index of fetal well-being. Since 2008, we have been developing original capacitive acceleration sensor and device that a pregnant woman can easily use to record by herself at home during sleep. In this study, report newly developed automated software system for analyzing recorded movement. This study will introduce the compare its results those manual analysis same signals (Experiment I). We also demonstrate appropriate way II). Experiment I, data...
Placenta accreta is a high-risk condition causing obstetric crisis and hemorrhage; however, its pathogenesis remains unknown. We aimed to identify the factors contributing trophoblast invasiveness angiogenic potential, which in turn drive of placenta accreta. focused on transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1-Smad pathway investigated intrinsic relationship between time- dose-dependent inhibition ubiquitinating enzyme UCHL5 using bAP15, deubiquitinase inhibitor, after TGF-β1 stimulation invasive...
Objective: To clarify the degree of fetal hiccup occurrence by using a movement acceleration measurement recorder.Methods: A total 23 pregnant women recorded movements weekly or biweekly between 28 and 39 gestational weeks at home with recorder. Fetal hiccups were defined as regular sharp oscillations – which occurred 2–4 second intervals, more than 15 times per minute on maternal abdomen. The duration frequency bouts counted. data classified into an early (28–33 weeks) group late (34–39...
Background: Our purpose was to clarify whether small-for-gestational (SGA) infants is associated with a decrease in fetal movements (FMs) even the absence of hypoxia. We used movement acceleration measurement (FMAM) recorder, which enabled counting gross FMs for hours at time.Methods: (1) Parameters 13 women who delivered SGA were plotted over normal reference value curves made from 64 pregnant another study. (2) Linear regression analysis conducted and women.Results: Thirty-eight data...
Objective: Fetal Movement Acceleration Measurement (FMAM) recorder was developed to facilitate gross fetal movement counting. The aim assess its reliability. Methods: Using the recorder, six pregnant women recorded movements by themselves when they slept at their home weekly from 30 weeks term. has 2 acceleration sensors; 1 for (FM sensor) and another maternal (MM sensor). Before sleeping, each subject attached FM sensor her abdomen, MM thigh. All data were divided into 10-sec epochs,...
The fetal movement acceleration measurement (FMAM) recorder has made it possible to count gross movements over many hours. Our purpose was examine the relationship between umbilical cord length and as counted by FMAM recorder. Sixty-two pregnant women recorded weekly from 28 weeks term. ratio of 10-s periods in which occurred total time calculated a index. Umbilical measured at delivery. (1) Multiple linear regression analyses were conducted with six explanatory variables (primipara /...
A fetal movement acceleration measurement (FMAM) recorder was developed for home monitoring of movements. We provided a 32-year-old pregnant woman with the FMAM to monitor movements, thereby self-recording decreased movements at 30 weeks’ gestation. On routine checkup, non-stress test revealed scant heart rate accelerations. At 31 gestation, underwent an emergent caesarean delivery because non-reassuring pattern, and delivered female neonate weighing 1312 g, whose umbilical cord slightly...
Abstract The development of the fetal movement acceleration measurement (FMAM) recorder has enabled accurate counting gross movements. aim study was to investigate whether is related a newborn’s size. A total 90 pregnant women who delivered singleton infant at term were recruited. Gross movements counted using an FMAM during maternal sleep. ratio positive 10-s epochs all one night calculated as index movement. Independent explanatory variables for selected from eight possibilities, that is,...
目的:エラストグラフィを用いて,切迫早産および分娩時の子宮筋収縮を,客観的に判断できるか検討した.対象と方法:切迫早産2例と,分娩経過中の妊婦15例の計17例を対象とした.腹壁の脂肪層と子宮筋層を,エラストグラフィの画像として記録し,子宮筋収縮によって筋層の色彩に変化があるか観察した.また,脂肪層と子宮筋層の歪みやすさを,それぞれB,Aとして数値化,B/A比を算出し,子宮筋収縮時と弛緩時のB/A比に差があるかを比較した.さらに,収縮時のB/A比が弛緩時のB/A比の何倍になっているかを算出した.結果と考察:全ての観察例において,子宮筋収縮に伴って,筋層の色彩が変化した.また,切迫早産例におけるB/A比は,子宮筋収縮時に28.2,弛緩時では1.3となり,有意な差を認めた.同様に,分娩第1期潜伏期では,それぞれ31.2と2.5,分娩第1期活動期では49.9と2.64,分娩第2期では47.9と6.13となり,全ての時期においてB/A比に差を認めた.切迫早産における収縮時のB/A比は弛緩時の21.7倍と最高値で,分娩第2期での同じ値は7.8倍と最低値であった.エラストグラフィを用いることで...
To investigate whether assisted reproductive technology (ART) affects gross fetal movement. A prospective cohort study. 65 women who conceived with ART (ART group) and 211 (control without recorded movement the acceleration measurement recorder at night weekly after 28 weeks. The number ratio of 10 s epochs to all was calculated as parameter. When no observed for more than 5 min, it defined a period, average per hour, duration, longest duration periods were parameters. Gestational weeks...
Abstract Objective The objective was to study the relationship between a decrease in gross fetal movement during maternal night sleep counted by an method and abnormal perinatal outcomes. Methods This prospective cohort study. A total of 470 pregnant women recorded with acceleration measurement recorder weekly after 28 weeks. ratio 10‐s epochs all calculated as parameter. When parameter below 10th percentile previously made reference curve, it defined decreased movement. Women who showed at...
We used the fetal movement acceleration measurement recorder to count gross in two fetuses with gastroschisis. In conclusion, both moved as much normal fetuses, which suggested that could indicate reassuring status also malformation when they have neurological developments.
Four cases of torsion the spermatic cord were reported. An intravaginal was noted in all them, having various degrees twist (360°, 180°, 360° and 720°). Of 4 cases, first case, a 13-year-old boy, fourth 28-year-old man, underwent orchiopexy successfully at 8 hours after onset symptoms, respectively. However, ramaining two 2-year-old boy subjected to orchiectomy due delayed operation 11 9 days onset, respectively.Since Yoshimoto's report 1977, an additional 42 have been reported recent...
There is no consensus on the relationship between maternal glucose levels and fetal movements.This study aimed to investigate correlation gross movements in hours around food intake.This was an observational with 2 newly developed technologies, which were a monitoring system movement acceleration measurement recorder. A total of 15 women singleton pregnancies provided that automatically recorded their every minutes. In addition, using recorder, for 4 starting from 1 hour before lunch, once...
Purpose: The purpose was to evaluate the effectiveness of Cool-tip® radiofrequency ablation system for uterine endometrial ablation.Methods: Eleven women with a complaint hypermenorrhea underwent RFA system.Results: smoothly performed in all women, and they could leave our hospital following day. Ten avoid hysterectomy. However, intestine perforations caused by burn injury occurred one woman two days after surgery.Conclusions: Endometrial using is not safe present situations.
The clinical efficacy, safety and usefulness of Ceftazidime (CAZ) in complicated urinary tract infectionswere evaluated comparison with Cefoperazone (CPZ) double blind manner, thefollowing results were obtained.CAZ 1g/day, CAZ 2g/day or CPZ was administered by intravenous drip infusion twice dailyfor 5 days.In the overall efficacy evaluation according to criteria proposed UTI committee Japan, rates 63% 125 cases 1g/day group, 68% 119 group 52% no significant difference among thethree groups...
