the outcome and proper management of fetal hydronephrosis have not been completely defined. the purpose of this study was to determine incidence and outcome of infants with a history of prenatal hydronephrosis diagnosed by ultrasound. in a three-year period from 2000 to 2003 we identified 211 cases (271 renal units) of fetal hydronephrosis in which renal pelvic anteroposterior diameter was more...

BACKGROUND Hyperlipidemia and high fasting plasma glucose levels at the first prenatal visit (First Visit FPG) are both related to gestational diabetes mellitus, maternal obesity/overweight and fetal overgrowth. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the correlation between First Visit FPG and lipid concentrations, and their potential association with offspring size at delivery. M...

BACKGROUND In the US, an unacceptably high percentage of pregnant women do not undergo prenatal HIV testing. Previous studies have found increased uptake of prenatal HIV testing with abbreviated pre-test counseling, however little is known about patient decision making, testing satisfaction and knowledge in this setting. METHODOLOGY/FINDINGS A randomized-controlled, non-inferiority trial was ...

Background : Prenatal paternity test is mostly performed by using Amniocentesis or Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) methods. However, these methods require invasive procedures, which are potentially harmful for both the mother and fetus. Currently, invention of Cell-Free Fetal DNA (cffDNA) has offered opportunity performing prenatal non-invasively. Materials Methods This study a cross sectional ...

the placenta into the maternal circulation as the cells break down (apoptosis) and the DNA becomes fragmented [4,5]. Circulating fetal cfDNA comprises approximately 3-13% of the total maternal cfDNA. These DNA fragments can be detected as early as 4 weeks of gestation and are generally cleared out within 2 hours after childbirth [6-8]. A noninvasive prenatal test (NIPT) using cfDNA has proven t...

nancy, Barbara Farlow discovered that her daughter Annie would be born with the genetic disorder trisomy 13, a chromosomal abnormality — and a label — that would determine her future medical care.

The official cause was “complications of trisomy 13,” but Farlow and ...

Down's syndrome (DS) is the most common genetic cause of developmental delay with an incidence of 1 in 800 live births, and is the predominant reason why women choose to undergo invasive prenatal diagnosis. However, as invasive tests are associated with around a 1% risk of miscarriage new non-invasive tests have been long sought after. Recently, the most promising approach for non-invasive pren...
