background: intrauterine growth retardation (iugr) contributes significantly to fetal morbidity and mortality, but its etiology is unknown in most cases. objective: the aim of this study was to examine the association between inherited thrombophilia and iugr. materials and methods: a case-control study was performed in a tertiary referral center (afzalipour hospital) over 2-years period (2010-2...

background: pregnancies with early onset fetal growth restriction have poor perinatal outcome. sildenafil citrate (pde -5 inhibitor) as a vasodilator increases uteroplacental blood flow and potentiates fetal growth. case presentation: in this study, a case was examined and sildenafil was administered for her. it was found that sildenafil improved the uterine blood flow with a favorable fetal ou...

Maternal infection is a cause of adverse developmental outcomes. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced embryonic resorption, intra-uterine fetal death (IUFD) and preterm labor have been well characterized. In the present study, we investigated the effects of maternal LPS exposure on intra-uterine fetal growth and skeletal development. All pregnant mice except controls received an intraperitoneal inj...

In newborns one of the major problems is fetal growth restriction or Intra Uterine Growth Restriction (IUGR) morbidity and mortality. Objective study to examine correlation between maternal BMI in IUGR placental anthropometry. Materials methods - Present was conducted OBG Department SVS Medical College hospital September-2020-march-2021. Total 22 samples collected compared with normal placenta ...

BACKGROUND Intra-uterine growth is a powerful predictor of infant mortality and of health, developmental and socioeconomic outcomes in adulthood. The question about whether this relationship is causal rather than driven by unobserved characteristics of low-weight infants is, however, still open. We use twin models to examine the hypothesis that in utero growth has a detrimental impact on cognit...

Intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR) contributes to almost two-thirds of LBW infants born in India. Poor nutritional status and frequent pregnancies are common pre-disposing conditions in addition to obstetric and medical problems during pregnancy. Growth restriction may be symmetrical or asymmetrical depending on the time of insult during pregnancy. The pathological insult in an asymmetrica...
