Meyer, W. W., and Lind, J. (1974). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 49, 671. Iliac arteries in children with a single umbilical artery: structure, calcifications, and early atherosclerotic lesions. With a single umbilical artery a unique haemodynamic situation arises during fetal development, resulting in a different calibre and structure of the iliac arteries on the two sides of the body. On ...

Bryan, E. M., and Kohler, H. G. (1974). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 49, 844. The missing umbilical artery. I. Prospective study based on a maternity unit. In a consecutive series of nearly 20,000 freshly delivered placentas, 2 vessels instead of the normal 3 were found in the umbilical cords of 143 (0 72%) infants, 83 females and 60 males. 4 infants were twins: in each instance the co-twi...

34 Pre-eclampsia represents a state of increased or prolonged vasoconstriction, partially 35 linked to the potent vasocontractile effect of isoprostanes. The process of Rho A– 36 mediated calcium sensitization is inherent to a state of prolonged contractility in many 37 smooth muscle types. The aims of this study were 1), to investigate mRNA expression 38 levels of Rho A and Rho kinase isoforms...

background: surface properties of a biomaterial could be critical in determining biomaterial’s biocompatibility due to the fact that the first interactions between the biological environment and artificial materials are most likely occurred at material’s surface. in this study, the surface properties of a new nanocomposite (nc) polymeric material were modified by combining plasma treatment and ...

objective(s):although previous studies have confirmed the beneficial effects of human umbilical cord matrix stem cell (hucm) transplantation post myocardial infarction (mi), but this stem cell resource has no potential to induce angiogenesis. in order to achieve the process of angiogenesis and cardiomyocyte regeneration, two required factors for cardiac repair agents were examined namely; hucm ...

BACKGROUND Intrapartum factors may have a role in the development of asthma and allergic diseases among offspring. OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between umbilical arterial pH values at birth and asthma, allergic rhinitis, and atopic eczema in children. METHODS We performed a case-control study of 222 asthmatic children and 183 control children aged 5 to 6 years with umbilical art...
