Effect of Aspirin Consumption during Pregnancy on Fetal and Placental Weights and Histomorphometric Changes of the Fetal Stomach in Rats
Background & Objective: Due to the relevant use of aspirin to relieve pain and common symptoms of gastric ulcer and possible malicious effects on fetus, this study investigates the histomorphologic effects of aspirin on the stomach tissue in rat embryos. Materials & Methods: In this experimental study, 30 pregnant female rats were randomly divided into six groups including control group wi...
متن کاملUltrasonographic normogram of fetal kidney circumference and fetal abdominal circumference ratio for early prenatal diagnosis.
Serial ultrasound scans were done in 300 fetuses between 16 to 24 weeks of gestation to establish the normogram of fetal kidney circumference (FKC) and fetal abdominal circumference (FAC) ratio (FKC/FAC). Of 300 fetuses, 150 fetuses were in the high risk group for fetal malformation and 150 patients were in the control group. The value of FKC/FAC varied from 0.27 to 0.30 from 16 to 24 weeks of ...
متن کاملHistogenesis of enteric ganglia in human fetal stomach
Introduction The Enteric nervous system (ENS) is a network which contains reflex circuits that detect the physiological condition of the gastrointestinal tract, integrate the information, and provide outputs to control gut motility, exocrine and endocrine secretions, microcirculation, immune and inflammatory processes. Elucidation of the mechanisms of ENS development and function allow the deve...
متن کاملEctopic Thyroid in Stomach; a Case Report
An ectopic thyroid is a form of thyroid dysgenesis in which an entire or parts of the thyroid gland may be located in another part of the body than what is the usual place. The most frequent location is the base of tongue.

متن کاملGhrelin gene expression is markedly higher in fetal pancreas compared with fetal stomach: effect of maternal fasting.
Ghrelin is an orexigenic peptide secreted mainly by the stomach in adult rats. Ghrelin concentrations increase with fasting and decrease after food intake. Ghrelin is also present in the placenta and in the fetal stomach, but the role of fetal ghrelin remains unclear. In this study, we compared changes in plasma ghrelin, insulin, and glucose concentrations and in ghrelin gene expression in stom...
