Growth Hormone in Human Foetuses

Length growth of the various aortic segments in human foetuses.

This study defines normal growth for the various aortic segments in 128 spontaneously aborted human foetuses aged 15-34 weeks. With the use of anatomical dissection, digital-image analysis (using the Leica Q Win Pro 16 system) and statistical analysis (ANOVA, regression equation), a range of length measurements for the ascending aorta, aortic arch and thoracic aorta was examined. No significant...

The normal growth of the thoracic aorta in human foetuses.

The present study was performed on 128 spontaneously aborted human foetuses aged 15-34 weeks in order to establish normal values for thoracic aorta dimensions at various gestational ages. Using anatomical dissection, digital-image analysis (the Leica QWin Pro 16 system) and statistical analysis (ANOVA, regression analysis) the growth of the length, the original and terminal external diameters a...

The normal growth of the pulmonary trunk in human foetuses.

The rate of growth of the pulmonary trunk during gestation has not been sufficiently determined. The present study was performed on 128 spontaneously aborted human foetuses aged 15-34 weeks in order to compile normative data for pulmonary trunk dimensions at various gestational ages. With the use of anatomical dissection, digital-image analysis (the Leica QWin Pro 16 system) and statistical ana...

The normal growth of the tracheal wall in human foetuses

INTRODUCTION Tracheal wall thickness is a substantial indicator in various pathological changes. The present study was performed to compile normative data and formulae for the tracheal wall thickness and volume at varying gestational age. MATERIAL AND METHODS Using anatomical dissection, digital image analysis and statistics a range of the wall thickness, proximal internal-to-external cross-s...
