[Evaluation of fetal lung maturity by lamellar bodies counting in amniotic fluid].
PURPOSE To compare the lamellar body number density (LBND) count in amniotic fluid using the fluorescent polarization (FP) test as a diagnostic parameter for the assessment of fetal pulmonary maturity. METHOD This was an analytical, controlled cross-sectional study conducted on 60 pregnant women from March 2002 to December 2007. Amniotic fluid specimens were obtained by amniocentesis or at th...
متن کاملAccuracy of amniotic fluid lamellar body counting for evaluating fetal lung maturity.
BACKGROUND Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is one of the important causes of mortality in neonates. This study was designed to assess the role of the amniotic fluid lamellar body counting in predicting fetal lung maturity. METHOD This study was conducted during 2010, April to 2011, February, at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran. One hundred and twenty eight amniotic fl...
متن کامل[Quantitative analysis of lamellar bodies in amniotic fluid as fetal pulmonary maturity indicator].
BACKGROUND/AIM Although lamellar bodies have been the center of interest over the last years, the published results of fetal pulmonary maturity determination according to their concentration in amniotic fluid are controversial. The aim of this study was to determine the significance of lamellar bodies, as well as the ratio lecithin/sphingomyelin (L/S) in amniotic fluid for the assessment of fet...
متن کاملNote: Microelectromechanical systems Coulter counter for cell monitoring and counting.
This note describes the design, fabrication, and testing of a novel microelectromechanical systems Coulter counter. The Coulter counter will be used to detect and monitor impedance changes of cells as a function of time in response to different experimental extracellular environments. The device consists of SU-8 (negative photoresist) microchannels, vertical electroplated electrodes, polydimeth...
متن کاملElectrohydrodynamic Coulter Counting
ABSTRACT A new paradigm of Coulter counting is developed using electrohydrodynamic liquid jets in lieu of solid state pores as the sensing aperture. The electrohydrodynamic jet was successfully used to detect micron-sized particles through resistive pulse sensing. Similar to conventional Coulter counting, the relative current change is proportional to the particle-tojet volume ratio. Compared t...
