OBJECTIVES To investigate whether the addition of maternal serum placental growth factor (PlGF) measured at 19-24 weeks' gestation improves the performance of screening for stillbirth that is achieved by a combination of maternal factors, fetal biometry and uterine artery pulsatility index (UtA-PI) and to evaluate the performance of screening with this model for all stillbirths and those due to...

Abstract In this manuscript we discuss the purpose and scope of biometry its interactions, complementation, even overlap with several other areas genetics. We emphasize that is an area genetics enables researchers to analyze, process, interpret biological phenomena from data, usually obtained experimental tests, in improved way guide strategies decision making for optimization resources. also h...

OBJECTIVES To compare the anterior ocular segment biometry among Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) with no diabetic retinopathy (DR) and non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR), and to evaluate the correlation of anterior ocular segment biometry with HbA1c level. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kelantan from November 2013 till May 2016 am...

Lenticular and anterior chamber biometry were studied in non-cataractous eyes by means of Scheimpflug photography and digital image analysis. The study population consisted of 91 late onset diabetic subjects and 115 non-diabetic controls. Anteroposterior axial lens thickness, cortical thickness, nuclear thickness, anterior clear zone thickness, anterior chamber depth, and anterior and posterior...

purpose: to assess hoffer correction factor in measurement of axial length (al) in eyes with phakic iol implants. methods: in this descriptive historical cohort study, axial length was measured by ultrasound (us) and iol master in both phakic and pseudophakic modes in 24 eyes of 14 patients with artisan intraocular lenses (iols) implanted for refractive purposes, hoffer’s suggested formula for ...

Objetives The aim of this study was to compare fetal biometry of singleton fetuses in pregnant women with normal nutritional and health status in the Ampara district, with a commonly used reference chart. Methods A cross sectional study was carried out in the Ampara District. Women with normal nutritional and health status and minimal environmental constraints on fetal growth (n=714) were enr...
