Abstract Objectives: this study aimed to explore a set of factors associated with lower maternal-fetal attachment (MFA) in pregnant women. Methods: is cross-sectional corresponding the second wave cohort population-based sample women South Brazil. The scale (MFAS) was used measure MFA. Bivariate analysis performed using t-test and ANOVA. variables that presented p<0.20 were taken for multiva...

Amaç: Prenatal dönemde başlayan bağlanma, anne ve fetüs/bebek sağlığı için önemli bir belirleyicidir. Bebeğine sevgiyle bağlanan anne, bebeğin sağlıklı büyümesine gelişmesine olumlu katkı sağlar. Bu çalışma ile doğum öncesi maternal-fetal bağlanma düzeylerini bunu etkileyen faktörleri belirlemek amaçlanmıştır.
 Yöntem: Kesitsel tanımlayıcı tipte yapılan araştırma, devlet hastanesinin kadın...

Background: Current prenatal diagnosis requires invasive testing which carries a 1-4% procedure-related-risk of miscarriage; hence, non-invasive techniques are desired. The recent demonstration of cell-free-fetal-DNA enriched from maternal plasma has opened new possibilities for non-invasive-prenatal-diagnosis of not only genetic-disorders such as β-thalassaemia and haemophilia but also chromos...

MicroRNAs comprise a family of small non-coding RNAs that modulate several developmental and physiological processes including pregnancy. Their ubiquitous presence is confirmed in mammals, worms, flies and plants. Although rapid advances have been made in microRNA research, information on stable reference genes for validation of microRNA expression is still lacking. Real time PCR is a widely us...

the first step in the prenatal diagnosis of x-linked genetic disorders is determining fetus gender. current invasive methods to obtain the dna source of the fetus instead of its miscarriage risk, has harmful stress for high risk pregnancies. cell free fetal dna (cffdna) circulating in the maternal blood, has now become a useful source of noninvasive prenatal diagnosis. considering limitation of...

Background and Aims: New advances in the use of cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) in maternal plasma of pregnant women has provided the possibility of applying cffDNA in prenatal diagnosis as a non-invasive method. One of the applications of prenatal diagnosis is fetal gender determination. Early prenatal determination of fetal sex is required for pregnant women at risk of X-linked and some endocrin...
