AIM To clarify the usefulness of three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound in the assessment of the fetal head and brain, according to 3D ultrasound surface reconstruction, multiplanar image analysis, three-dimensional angiography, and volume calculation. METHODS We examined 326 normal fetuses between 10 and 40 weeks of gestation using 3D ultrasound (Voluson, 530D, Medison, Seoul, Korea), mainly with...

objective: nitric oxide (no) plays an important role both as a consequence and as a cause of epileptic seizures.regarding the central nervous system depressant effects of achillea wilhelmsii (a. wilhelmsii), as well the effects of the plant on no, this study was aimed to elucidatethe possible role for nitric oxide on the effects of hydroalcoholic extract of a. wilhelmsii on pentylenetetrazole (...

In a discordant anencephalic twin the hypothesis was tested that the fetal brain is necessary for the expression of a diurnal rhythm in fetal heart rate. Fetal heart rate recordings were made over a 24 h period in a discordant anencephalic twin pregnancy and in three normal twin pregnancies. Cosinor analysis was used to assess rhythmicity in fetal heart rate and maternal heart rate or activity....

INTRODUCTION Exposure to prenatal inflammation is associated with diverse adverse neurobehavioral outcomes in exposed offspring. The mechanism by which inflammation negatively impacts the developing brain is poorly understood. Metabolomic profiling provides an opportunity to identify specific metabolites, and novel pathways, which may reveal mechanisms by which exposure to intrauterine inflamma...

Background: The detection of foetal anomalies is critical in detecting fetal/maternal problems that may occur during and after pregnancy. As a result, imaging crucial for obstetricians. Several studies have assessed the efficacy 2D 4D ultrasound diagnosis, use routine practise has begun to be investigated. Aim Of Study: To determine extended 3D/4D ultrasonography prenatal assessment anatomical ...
