BackgroundDuring fetal development of the mitral valve, chordae tendineae are thought to derive from leaflet after it’s delamination ventricular wall. However, preliminary work on bovine heart has shown presence branched well before (Fig. 1A). We hypothesized that and tissue developing along distinct timelines in heart. To test this hypothesis, we examined anatomical extracellular matrix compos...

The risk of preterm delivery (< 37 weeks of gestation) is approximately nine times higher in women with multifetal pregnancies than in women with singleton pregnancies. However, it is possible that the risk will vary according to gestational week. To assess the risk of premature birth within 1 week by gestational age among multifetal pregnancies and compare the estimated risk with that of singl...

OBJECTIVE To determine if paternal age elevates the risk of low birthweight (< 2500g, LBW), preterm birth (< 37 weeks gestation), and multiple gestation among mothers whose age does not predict an elevated risk. DESIGN/METHODS Population data on birth outcome, maternal age and paternal age was obtained from Alberta Health and Wellness for all births 1990-1996. RESULTS Among women aged 25 to...

Background. Although the optimal outcome of assisted reproductive technology (ART) is a healthy singleton pregnancy, the rate of twin gestation from ART in women over the age of 35 is persistently high. Methods/Findings. We compared clinical pregnancy rates (PRs), ongoing pregnancy/live birth rates, and multiple gestation rates (MGRs) in 108 women who chose elective single blastocyst transfer (...

The role of maternal infections, nutritional status and obstetric history in low birth weight is not clear. Thus, the objective of the present study was to assess the effects of maternal HIV infection, nutritional status and obstetric history, and season of birth on gestation length and birth size. The study population was 1669 antenatal care attendees in Harare, Zimbabwe. A prospective cohort ...

Cerebral AV malformation in pregnancy is a rare condition with prevalence rate of approximately 0.01-0.5%. It generally presents symptoms at 20-40 years age most commonly around 30 age. affects both men and women but more prevalent this group. We presented case primi gravida 22 weeks gestation DCDA type twin presenting emergency department intracranial hemorrhage secondary to rupture malformati...
