Objective: The aim of the present study was to determine the correlation between fetal liver length (FLL) at the 11+0–13+6 week of pregnancy and crown-rump length (CRL). Methods: Pregnant women (n=63) referring to the Başkent University Konya Hospital Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic between January and March 2014 for first trimester screening were included in the study. Patients were excluded ...

BACKGROUND Nuchal translucency (NT) is the fluid collection behind the fetal neck which can be measured by ultrasound at 11-14 weeks of gestation. Increase in the nuchal translucency thickness is associated with various congenital anomalies. OBJECTIVE To study the relationship between nuchal translucency thickness, crown rump length and gestational age in normal fetus. METHODS Prospective a...

A whole genome association (WGA) study was conducted to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) for body conformation traits in Hanwoo cattle. The phenotypes of 497 steers were recorded from the Hanwoo Improvement Center of National Agricultural Cooperative Federation, Seosan, Korea, and analyzed using the Illumina Bovine 50 k SNP chip. A set of 35,987 SNPs that were available in the Hanwoo popu...

We quantitated the growth patterns of the normal fetal heart and the right and left ventricles from postmortem hearts obtained from 55 spontaneously aborted human fetuses from the completion of cardiogenesis to term. Fetal gestational age was assessed by menstrual history of the mother, crown-rump length, head circumference, and body weight and ranged from 8 to 40 weeks. Each heart was perfused...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the influence of the crown-rump length and body mass index on sonographic evaluation of the fetal heart using abdominal and vaginal routes in the first trimester of pregnancy. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study with 57 pregnant women between 12-14 weeks (CRL< 84 mm). We evaluated the following fetal cardiac plans using the abdominal and vaginal routes: four-cha...
