Amniotic fluid fluorescence polarisation values for assessing fetal lung maturation.
The fluorescence probe 1,6, diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene was used to determine the micro-viscosity of third trimester amniotic fluid samples utilising an Aminco Bowman spectrofluorometer fitted with a polariser prism. The results were related to the lecithin sphingomyelin (L:S) ratio. A fluorescence polarisation value of 0.360 corresponded to an L:S ratio of 2.0 in uncomplicated and diabetic preg...
متن کاملMaternal hydration for increasing amniotic fluid volume in oligohydramnios and normal amniotic fluid volume.
BACKGROUND Oligohydramnios (reduced amniotic fluid) may be responsible for malpresentation problems, umbilical cord compression, concentration of meconium in the liquor, and difficult or failed external cephalic version. Simple maternal hydration has been suggested as a way of increasing amniotic fluid volume in order to reduce some of these problems. OBJECTIVES The objective of this review w...
متن کاملThe amniotic fluid compartment: the fetal habitat.
This study begins with a phylogenetic overview of the fetal membranes in terrestrial vertebrates. It is, of course, well known that the human amnion differs very little from that of other recent members of the phylum, although during evolution the development of the placenta has brought about extensive changes in the chorion. Much of the structure and many of the functions of both the amnion an...
متن کاملAmniotic fluid embolism after intrauterine fetal demise.
We present a case of the successful treatment of severe amniotic fluid embolism in a 41-year-old woman undergoing emergency caesarean section at 36 weeks of gestation for placental abruption and intrauterine fetal demise. The treatment included prolonged cardiopulmonary resuscitation, emergency hysterectomy, re-operation with intra-abdominal packing and intra-aortic balloon pump insertion. The ...
متن کاملHepatocyte growth factor concentration in the early second-trimester amniotic fluid does not predict fetal growth at birth.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) concentrations in the early second-trimester amniotic fluid predict fetal growth at birth. HGF and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) concentrations in the early second-trimester amniotic fluid were measured in 12 pregnancies with small for gestational age (SGA) infants, 84 pregnancies with appropriate for gestat...
