P97Elevated maternal midtrimester chorionic gonadotropin is associated with fetal cerebral blood flow redistribution

Transient fetal blood redistribution associated with maternal supine position.

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether fetal blood circulation is influenced by the maternal supine position. METHODS The inclusion criteria were good health, a singleton pregnancy, maternal age between 18 and 40 years, gestational age between 36 and 40 weeks, and an agreement to participate in the study. Each participant (n=20) was initially asked to adopt the left lateral position for 5 min, whil...

Correlation of fetal DNA and human chorionic gonadotropin concentrations in second-trimester maternal serum.

Interface during Early Human Pregnancy Regulatory T Cells into the Fetal-Maternal Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Attracts

Regional redistribution of blood flow in the mature fetal lamb.

Observations on mature fetal lambs delivered under chloralose anesthesia showed that variations in arterial blood gas tensions, caused by ventilation with gas mixtures of differing composition, produced considerable changes in regional systemic blood flows measured with a cannulated electromagnetic flowmeter. Partial asphyxia was associated with a rise in arterial pressure and a reduction in fe...

Effect of maternal smoking on cord blood estriol, placental lactogen, chorionic gonadotropin, FSH, LH, and cortisol.

AIM To determine the effect of maternal cigarette smoking on cord blood concentrations of E3, hPL, beta-hCG, FSH, LH, and cortisol. METHODS Hormone concentrations were measured in term neonates of 100 smoking and 100 non-smoking mothers. RESULTS The median E3, hPL, beta-hCG, FSH, LH and cortisol cord blood concentrations in the non-smoking mothers' offspring were 212 ng/mL, 2.00 microg/mL, ...
