OBJECTIVE Evaluation of the relationship between umbilical coiling index (UCI) and adverse perinatal outcome. METHOD A prospective study was performed on 699 pregnant women who were 37-40 weeks. UCI was determined by dividing the total number of the complete vascular coiling by the total umbilical cord length in centimeters. Then the relationship between UCI and neonatal weight, amniotic flui...

Materials and Methods: This research was a case-control study conducted on 90 term pregnant women. Study group had fetal distress (abnormal fetal heart rate, meconium staining, Apgar score less than 7 in fifth minute and pH of umbilical cord arterials < 7.2) and control group did not have above complications. After fetus birth, umbilical coiling index was calculated and heparinised blood of umb...

BACKGROUND&#x0D; Preeclampsia is a common hypertensive disorder of pregnancy and one the leading causes maternal health complications death globally. Both preeclampsia abnormal umbilical coiling have been reported to alter structure placenta significantly. Cases either two states; hypercoiling or hypocoiling, occurring in same documented. The type associated with varies different populations. e...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Stent-assisted coiling and balloon-assisted coiling are 2 well-established techniques for treatment of wide-neck intracranial aneurysms. A direct comparative analysis of angiographic outcomes with the 2 techniques has not been available. We compare the angiographic outcomes of wide-neck aneurysms treated with stent-assisted coiling versus balloon-assisted coiling. MATER...

Bispectral index (BIS) is a monitoring modality designed and used for monitoring depth of anaesthesia. We wish to report a case where BIS monitoring may have alerted us to a potential adverse neurological event during angiographic coiling of a cerebral aneurysm.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Some cerebral aneurysms that have been coiled reopen over time and additional treatment should be considered to reduce the risk of recurrent hemorrhage. Our purpose was to assess procedural complications and angiographic results of additional coiling in patients with previously coiled but reopened aneurysms and to evaluate protection against (re)bleeding. METHODS We com...
