It is common decision analysis practice to elicit quantiles of continuous uncertainties and then fit a continuous probability distribution to the corresponding probability-quantile pairs. This process is inconvenient because it requires curve-fitting and the best-fit distribution will often not honor the assessed points. By strategically extending the Johnson Distribution System, we develop a n...

Background: Estimation of fetal weight is utmost importance in the planning and management uneventful labor. This study was done to compare estimated determined by Hadlock’s method Scioscia’s formula (using femur length mid-thigh soft-tissue thickness [MTSTT]) actual birth (ABW). Aims Objectives: The objectives this were as follows: (1) To estimate ultrasonographic evaluation MTSTT late third t...

Objectives: Newborns with fetal growth restriction (FGR) are at a high risk of prenatal mortality and morbidity compared to infants appropriate intrauterine growth. The importance Doppler ultrasound as non-invasive method for estimating the pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) in newborns adults has been mentioned many studies. This study investigated relationship between peak systolic velocity colo...

Objective: To verify the applicability of standard fetal growth curves proposed for western populations to an Indian population. Method: Thirty patients were included and ultrasound scans were performed on Indian pregnant women to measure fetal growth parameters of biparietal diameter, head circumference, abdominal circumference and femur length for every weekly interval from 14 to 40 weeks. Tw...

Over the past two decades, researchers in industrial organization in corporate ®nance have examined relationships between ``corporate governance'' and ``®rm performance''. In an interesting and provocative paper, Charles Hadlock, Joel Houston, and Michael Ryngaert analyze the impact of proxies for corporate governance, managerial incentives, and performance on the likelihood of a bankÕs being a...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to evaluate maternal and neonatal outcomes in patients with placenta previa (PP) and placenta accreta (PA). METHODS The study population comprised all patients who had a cesarean section for PP and PA at a tertiary referral hospital in Taif, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, from December 2009 to December 2012. Maternal and neonatal data were ob...
