متن کاملThe Association of Amniotic Fluid Cadmium Levels with the Risk of Preeclampsia, Prematurity and Low Birth Weight
Background: Cadmium is an extremely toxic metal with ubiquitous environmental distribution. Cadmium is a potent reproductive and developmental toxic agent, and intensive environmental exposure to this substance has been reported among the residents of Tehran. In this study, we investigated the correlation between amniotic fluid cadmium levels and the risk of preeclampsia, prematurity and low bi...
متن کاملInsulin-like growth factor II and binding proteins 1 and 3 from second trimester human amniotic fluid are associated with infant birth weight.
The developing fetus begins to swallow amniotic fluid (AF) early in gestation, a process that results in ingestion of numerous growth factors. Our objectives were 2-fold: 1) to assess the concentration and distribution of insulin-like growth factor II (IGF II) and its binding proteins (BP) 1 and 3 in 2nd trimester amniotic fluid using ELISA, and 2) to establish whether concentrations of AF IGF ...
متن کاملMaternal Risk Factors Associated with Low Birth Weight
Background and purpose: Since a large proportion of fetal mortality is associated with low birth weight (LBW) and considering the fact that fetal development is a vulnerable process influenced by maternal risk factors, this study examined some maternal risk factors associated with LBW infants. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted based on the medical records o...
