Objective Maternal-fetal RhD antigen incompatibility causes approximately 50% of clinically significant alloimmunization cases. The routine use of prophylactic anti-D immunoglobulin has dramatically reduced hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn. Recently, fetal RHD genotyping in RhD negative pregnant women has been suggested for appropriate use of anti-D immunoglobulin antenatal prophylaxi...

Results The 58 cases of fetal LSVC detected by fetal MRI represents 1.23% of all fetal MRI examinations performed in our hospital (58/4726). All the 58 cases were correctly diagnosed by MR imaging but only 40 cases (69%) were correctly diagnosed by fetal ultrasound. Of the 18 cases which did not be correctly diagnosed by fetal ultrasound, 8 were sent to perform fetal MRI for head or chest malfo...

Aims: To precisely diagnose Fetal Heart Rate (FHR) with actocardiogram (ACG), which is the simultaneous record of FHR and movement signal spikes. Method: Low frequency ultrasonic Doppler signal of fetal movement and high frequency Doppler of fetal heart beat were detected with single ultrasonic probe, and separated into two groups by a new electric circuit. FHR was recorded by autocorrelation h...

(Abstracted from Lancet Gastroenterol Hepatol 2021;6:547–558) Ursodeoxycholic acid (UA) is a common treatment for intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), and its use supported by the Society Maternal-Fetal Medicine.

Background: Prenatal attachment and positive adaptation with the concept of motherhood play a pivotal role in maternal and fetal health. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of the beliefs, attitudes, subjective norms, and enabling factors (BASNEF) model on maternal fetal attachment in the pregnant women referring to prenatal clinics. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conduct...

In earlier studies on chimeric animals, we found that fetal thymocytes produced peripheral T lymphocyte populations depleted of CD4+ cells. This occurred whether the fetal thymocytes matured in the presence of adult or fetal thymic stromal cells. In contrast, fetal liver cells that differentiated in the adult thymus generated normal proportions of peripheral CD4+ cells. Because fetal liver cell...

Background and aim: Maternal concept is part of the feminine gender role. The important part of the maternal concept is the unique relationship experience between mother and child that begins with  maternal-fetal attachment(MFA) during pregnancy. The aim of this study is predict the MFA according to Gender role in pregnant women in Shiraz city. Methods:This descriptive correlational study was c...

Background & aim: Mother-infant bonding and interactions after childbirth are shaped by maternal-fetal attachment during pregnancy. Although many studies have shown the positive correlation between maternal-fetal attachment and mother-infant attachment behaviors, some controversial studies have shown otherwise. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the correlation between maternal-fetal attac...
