Fetal Surveillance in Diabetic Pregnancies
Diabetes mellitus complicating pregnancy is one of the most common antenatal complications that are associated with significant perinatal mortality and morbidity (Magee et al., 1993; Platt et al., 2002; Schmidt et al., 2001). Diabetic pregnancies can be divided into two categories: those with pre-gestational or pre-existing diabetes mellitus in which the diagnosis is made in the pre-pregnancy s...
متن کاملFetal lung maturity testing.
Hyaline membrane disease (HMD) is a disorder primarily affecting premature infants and is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in this population. The disorder is characterized by widespread atelectasis and an inability of the neonate to expand his or her lungs. Secondary hemor rhage, edema and desquamation of alveolar lining cells then occur which further compromise respira tory func...
متن کاملBiochemical assessment of fetal lung maturity.
The relationship between the enzyme phosphatidate phosphohydrolase (PAPase) and lecithin/sphingomyelin (L/S) ratio in amniotic fluid was evaluated in normal human pregnancies and in several pregnancies complicated by Rh isoimmunization. An increase in PAPase activity in amniotic fluid appears to parallel the increase in L/S ratio after 33 weeks gestation in normal subjects. These data suggest t...
متن کاملRoutine diagnosis of fetal lung maturity.
The respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is the most frequent postnatal complication of prematurity having a 25% lethal outcome even today (KEUTH [6]). The same author reports that RDS affects 8% of an unselected population of premature infants and 20% of a negatively selected population found in clinical departments for premature babies. Hence avoidance of prematurity is one of the most importa...
متن کاملPrediction of Fetal Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in Diabetic Pregnancies Compared with Postnatal Outcome
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to estimate the accuracy of prenatal assessment of interventricular septum (IVS) thickness, right myocardial wall thickness (RMWT), and left myocardial wall thickness (LMWT) by two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound for the prediction of perinatal mortality and postnatal diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) among diabetic pregnant women. SUBJECTS AND MET...
