OBJECTIVE We aimed to examine detailed neonatal measurements as predictors of later diabetes in both parents. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Babies (n = 617) born to nondiabetic parents in Holdsworth Memorial Hospital, Mysore, India, were measured at birth for weight; crown-to-heel length (CHL), crown-to-rump length (CRL), and leg length; skinfolds (triceps and subscapular); and circumferences (...

The use of in vitro produced embryos dairy and beef cattle has increased recent years, but compromised post-transfer pregnancy success prevents producers from capturing all the benefits this technology can provide. This study explored whether supplementing interleukin-6 (IL6) during embryo development influences embryo-proper, fetus placenta early gestation cattle. Slaughterhouse-derived cumulu...

Background: In early pregnancy, it is essential to emphasize viability, and gestational age precisely.Researchers have tried discover some useful sonographic indicators in pregnancy so as expect theoutcome of the ongoing pregnancy. The aim this study assess first-trimester ultrasound measurementsfor prediction loss.Subjects Method: A prospective observational cohort done Tikrit city outpatient ...

A meta-analysis was performed to study the relationship between ovine fetal BW and body length during the last month of pregnancy in sheep gestated under normal conditions and under different natural and experimental maternal- placental- and fetal- directed constraints. Means of crown-rump length (CRL) and BW records, as well as means of calculated G index (GI, BW/CRL1.5), body mass index (BMI,...

This editorial article reviews some of the mathematical foundations which form the basis of ultrasound screening for fetal growth anomalies and the estimation of gestational age in the first trimester. Recent developments are discussed including individually fitted crown rump length (CRL) curves, customized antenatal growth charts, fetal growth velocity, and computer simulation for fetal growth...

Reproduction in domestic animals, as a major source of food and other products for human, has greatimportance and study of related subjects including sex differentiation and gonadogenesis during fetal life can solve many questions on normal development and various disorders of urogenital system. Since studies on sex differentiation in goat fetus are scarce, this study was performed. Twenty-five...

There are several reports of electron microscopic studies on the epidermis of human fetuses and/or embryos: BREATHNACH and WYLLIE (1965a, 1965b) reported on the ultrastructure of the epidermis in human fetuses 12 and 14 weeks of menstrual age: RIEGEL (1965) in human fetuse 25 to 60mm long in crown-rump length; HASHIMOTO et al. (1966) in human fetuses 12 to 22 weeks of menstrual age, 60 to 180mm...

The development of the bone marrow of the thoracic vertebrae in seven human fetuses ranging from 95 to 150 mm in crown-rump length (CRL) was studied using light and electron microscopy. In the 95-mm CRL, hypertrophy of the chondrocytes occurred in the central region of the vertebrae, and blood vessels penetrated there from dorsal and ventral sides of the vertebral body. The primary marrow was r...

Postmortem survey of small ruminant pregnancy wastage was conducted at Kumasi Abattoir Ltd, Kaase. visits and investigations were on 16 randomly selected abattoir working days. All mature ewes does slaughtered days (mean = 71.69 animals/day) included in the study, giving a total 1,147 animals (301 846 does). The reproductive tracts study collected slaughter line uterus grossly inspected for pre...

OBJECTIVE To establish the relationship between fetal trunk and head volume measured by three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound and gestational age at 11 + 0 to 13 + 6 weeks of gestation. METHODS The fetal trunk and head volume were measured using 3D ultrasound in 417 chromosomally normal fetuses from singleton pregnancies at 11 + 0 to 13 + 6 (median, 12 + 0) weeks of gestation. Regression analysis...
