Ultrasonographic fetal scapular length measurement for assessment of gestational age
one of the major goals of antenatal care is estimation of gestational age.the most widely used parameters for evaluation of fetal growth are biparietal diameter (BPD),femoral length (FL) and adbominal circumference (AC).to determine the value of prenatal ultrasonographic scapula measurements for fetal growth and gesattional age a prospective ultrasonographic cross-sectional study was conducted ...
متن کاملDetermination of gestational age in sheep and goats using transrectal ultrasonographic measurement of placentomes.
Three experiments were conducted to determine gestational age in the ewe and doe by measuring placentomes with a B-mode ultrasonograph and a 5 MHz transducer. Transrectal measurements were obtained by placing the female over a bale of hay. In Experiment 1, ewes (n = 12) and does (n = 15) were examined by transrectal ultrasonography every week from breeding to parturition to determine the growth...
متن کاملUltrasonographic Evaluation of Placenta Thickness and Fetal Cord Cross Section in Gestational Diabetes Mothers Compared to Control Group
Background The metabolic enhancement resulted from hyperglycemia in gestational diabetes leads to macrosomia, which can affect the placenta. In gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) pregnant women, the thickness of placenta and cord diameter can change at ages prior to treatment initiation. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the thickness of placenta an...
متن کاملReal-time ultrasound measure of the fetal eye (vitreous body) for prediction of parturition date in small ponies.
Ultrasonographic fetal eye measures have been used to estimate gestational age of the fetus in light horse mares. However, fetal eye measures have not been published for smaller pony breeds. This study was conducted to develop reference ranges for ultrasonographic measures of fetal eyes in small ponies for the purpose of predicting days before parturition (DBP) when breeding or ovulation dates ...

Background: Fetal growth restriction is defined as the failure of the fetus to achieve its full growth potential. The present study aimed to investigate the application of first trimester screening in the prediction of small for gestational age (SGA).Methods: This cohort study was conducted on the consecutive and unselected women with singleton pregnancies undergoing routine first-trimester exa...
