Objective: To determine diagnostic utility of Doppler measurements in fetal descending aorta and umbilical arteries in predicting intrauterine growth retarded (IUGR) fetuses at risk in pregnancies complicated by pre-eclampsia and/or HELLP syndrome. Methods: Doppler measurements were taken in fetal descending aorta and umbilical arteries of 53 patients with pre-eclampsia, 10 of whom had HELLP sy...

During 1949 and 1950, 38 cases of neonatal sciatic palsy after injection of umbilical vessels were described (Mills 1949. Hudson, McCandless and O’Malley 1950; McFarland 1950). Typically, paralysis was accompanied by ipsilateral discoloration of the buttock skin which progressed to scarring. McFarland (1950) proposed arterial thrombosis as the aetiology. The cause was thought to be mistaking on...

A multitude physiological and pathological factors influence blood flow in the during However, fetal effects maternal psychological stress were inconclusive. recent COVID-19 pandemic had unprecedented economic, social, effects. effect COVID-19-induced antenatal women its resultant impact studied by observing Doppler waveforms uterin...

Nonthrombotic pulmonary embolism is an uncommon life-threatening complication following liposuction. We report a rare incidental autopsy finding associated with this procedure. A 43-year-old female who underwent liposuction presented hypotension, respiratory distress, loss of consciousness and cardiorespiratory arrest during the intraoperative period. The patient died 2 h after admission to eme...

Accurate assessment of gestational age, fetal growth, and the detection of fetal and placental abnormalities are major benefits of sonography. Color Doppler can be used to assist in the identification of vascular architecture, detection of vascular pathology and visualization of blood flow changes associated with physiologic processes and disease states. The clinical applications of obstetrical...
