OBJECTIVE To construct reference ranges of fetal ocular distance (interocular and binocular distance) and to evaluate the relationships between the gestational ages and fetal ocular distance. MATERIAL AND METHOD Six hundred and two normal pregnant women were evaluated from the 15th to 40th week of gestation. Fetal ocular distance (interocular and binocular distances) was added to routine biom...

SUMMARY A prospective randomized double blind study was conducted to investigate the effect of oxytocine injection in the umbilical cord on the third stage of labor duration. 127 cases of normal vaginal delivery (with no signs of separation of placenta during the first five minutes of fetus delivery) were selected. The cases were divided into three groups. In the first group(40 cases) 30 ml of...

The woman's body suffers important transformations during pregnancy, among which the hormonal changes characteristic of her state and placental process can be mentioned. These processes will culminate with birth baby. At this stage, OB/GYN represents a figure great importance, is responsible for supervising ensuring that all natural follow normal course health mother fetus most suitable until e...

Introduction. Primary hypothyroidism is observed in women of reproductive age 2–3 % cases. The most common thyroid pathology during pregnancy subclinical (SHT), which caused by newly diagnosed autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) or severe iodine deficiency. In some regions the Russian Federation, population has a mild deficiency, average concentration urine being found at 78 µg/L (the normal range 100...

OBJECTIVE To establish normal ranges for nasal bone length measurements throughout gestation and to compare measurements in two subsets of patients of different race (African-American vs. Caucasian) to determine whether a different normal range should be used in these populations. METHOD Normal nasal bone length reference ranges were generated using prenatal measurements by a standardized tec...

OBJECTIVE To provide reference ranges of the fetal gall bladder in the Korean population. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fetal gall bladder development was evaluated in well-dated, non-anomalous fetuses in the Korean population between February and April 2003 and the visualization rate and reference values were determined from the obtained data. RESULTS The visualization rate of the fetal gall bladd...

phenobarbital is a phenobarbiturate used as a sedative, anticonvulsant, or hypnotic with the doses prescribed and can cause teratogenic effects. the goal of this study was to examine an alternative method for the recognition of the mechanism or the bimolecular potential changes in mice fetus caused by phenobarbital using ftir micro spectroscopy. the mice were injected with phenobarbital (120mg/...

OBJECTIVE During fetal life, the parallel position of the two cardiac ventricles confers a special status to the aortic isthmus. Flow through the isthmus reflects the balance between the performances of the two ventricles and their respective peripheral impedances. This study proposes a fetal aortic isthmus flow velocity index and its reference values defined on the basis of gestational age (GA...
