Fetal hydrops (hydrops fetalis) remains a significant cause of fetal and neonatal mortality. The decreased incidence of rhesus iso-immunisation due to prophylaxis with rhesus immune globulin (anti-D), improved antenatal ultrasound screening, and advances in neonatal intensive care have greatly altered the clinical outlook in this condition. A retrospective review of all 27 liveborn cases of hyd...

Japanese media (including anime) offers representations of female characters that, in their cute girlishness, differ from mainstream femininity British media. In the UK, anime conventions are becoming increasingly popular, which brought to life via cosplay (“costume role-play”). This study observes maid cafés as a feminine-presenting phenomenon where participants perform tropes girl anime, whil...

In recent years, the culture of “cute things” has blossomed everywhere. People use cute things to cure their inner stress. Disney’s doll LinaBell been widely spread for her appearance. Behind popularity is deep grasp people’s emotions and precise implementation marketing strategy. As derivative Disney IP, how did develop own strategy in background with characteristics The Times achieve success?

Objective. To examine venous blood flow velocity in different types of fetal hydrops and its value in the prediction of outcome of pregnancies. Methods. Venous Doppler sonography was performed in 100 hydropic fetuses from 15 to 37 weeks of gestation. Blood velocity was recorded in the right hepatic vein (HV), the ductus venosus (DV) and in the intra-abdominal part of the umbilical vein (UV). Bl...

A double-chambered right ventricle was diagnosed prenatally by ultrasound examination in a case of fetal hydrops and polyhydramnios. Delivery was induced at the 28th week. 2D echocardiography of the newborn confirmed the intrauterine diagnosis. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of prenatally diagnosed divided right ventricle, causing hydrops.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between endolymphatic hydrops and perilymphatic potassium. METHODS 20 pigmented guinea pigs were used: 10 for scala vestibuli study and 10 for scala tympani study. Acute endolymphatic hydrops was produced by microinjection of an artificial endolymph into the scala media. Injections were performed in the second turn at rates up to 500 nl/min for a peri...

We describe two cases of fetal atrial flutter associated with severe fetal hydrops which were unresponsive to digoxin but were successfully treated with flecainide acetate. Two cases of fetal atrial flutter were identified in fetuses with severe fetal hydrops on 3rd trimester ultrasonogram(28 weeks' gestation and 30 weeks' gestation). Following failed digoxin monotherapy, flecainide acetate was...

From histopathological specimens, endolymphatic hydrops has been demonstrated in association with inner ear disorders. Recent studies have observed findings suggestive of hydrops using MRI in humans. Previous studies suggest that vasopressin may play a critical role in endolymph homeostasis and may be involved in the development of Ménière's disease. In this study we evaluate the effect of vaso...

HYPOTHESIS The aim of this study was to create a more dynamic animal model of Ménière's disease combining multiple causes, such as the role of endocrine factors and endolymphatic sac dysfunction, that may mimic the fluctuant characteristics of Ménière's disease. BACKGROUND Endolymphatic hydrops remains to be considered a pathologic substrate in the etiology of Ménière's disease. The classic g...
