The effect of nuchal cord on nuchal fold thickness measured in the second trimester.
PURPOSE To find out whether nuchal cord causes an effect on the nuchal skin fold thickness (NFT) measurements, or not. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 242 fetuses with normal outcomes that had undergone detailed second trimester US scan between 18 and 24 weeks of gestation were included in the study. NFT measurements were made on axial cranial US images passing through the cerebellum and cavu...
متن کاملPlacental Thickness in the Second Trimester
he in utero environment and its impact on neonatal health are of increasing interest in relation to adult health outcomes.1,2 There is a growing body of evidence that birth weight and placental insufficiency are important risk factors for later development of the so-called metabolic syndrome: hypertension, diabetes, and coronary heart disease.3 The placenta is the principal influence on fetal b...
متن کاملRelationship between post-exercise heart rate variability and skinfold thickness
This investigation aimed to determine if groupings based upon sum of skinfold thickness (SF) would reflect the differences in heart rate variability (HRV) measured for up to 30-minutes following maximal exercise, and to determine the extent in variation in post-exercise HRV that could be accounted for between the following independent variables: SF, body mass index (BMI) and maximal oxygen cons...
متن کاملSecond-trimester soft markers: relation to first-trimester nuchal translucency in unaffected pregnancies.
OBJECTIVE Genetic sonography following first-trimester combined screening appears to increase substantially detection rates for Down syndrome but it relies on the unproved assumption of independence between these tests. In this study we aimed to investigate the relationship between first-trimester nuchal translucency (NT) and a series of second-trimester soft markers and structural defects in u...
متن کاملNuchal Skinfold Thickness: A Novel Parameter for Assessment of Body Composition in Childhood Craniopharyngioma
CONTEXT Hypothalamic obesity, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and relapse/progression have a major impact on prognosis in childhood-onset craniopharyngioma (CP). We analyzed nuchal skinfold thickness (NST) on magnetic resonance imaging performed for follow-up monitoring as a novel parameter for body composition (BC) and CVD in CP. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to identify the associa...
