Fetal measurements, especially fetal foot length, were correlated with fetal age--as measured by last menstrual dates--for 1800 tissue specimens obtained after dilatation and evacuation abortion. These observations were compared with Streeter's results from 1920. Fetal ages ranged from ten through 26 completed menstrual weeks. Fetal measurements including weight, knee-to-heel length, biparietal...

Ninety eight newborn infants weighing less than 1500 g at birth and with gestational ages from 26 to 32 weeks were followed prospectively. They were grouped according to real time ultrasound scans in the neonatal period: infants in group A (n = 20) had periventricular haemorrhage (PVH) and normal ventricles; infants in group B (n = 26) had PVH and dilated ventricles (none with clinical hydrocep...

estimating fetal weight in utero, for better management of pregnancy and appropriate timing of delivery especially in high-risk pregnancies is necessary. our purpose to evaluate a simple method in estimating fetal weight in iranian pregnant patients and also to compare was with a previous western study. this study was carried out in arash hospital, tehran university of medical sciences in 1996-...

SUMMARY Determination of gestational age have several usages in obstetrics and gynecology. The relation between Biparietal Diameter and gestational age has determined in this research using real time Sonography. 904 Iranian pregnant women between 12-40 weeks of gestation with accuratic last menstrual period and without the history of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, renal disease and Fetal an...

Measurements by ultrasound of the biparietal diameter of the fetal head during pregnancy are a reliable guide to fetal growth. As a ready means of comparison with the normal we constructed from 4,170 measurements in 1,394 cases a curve showing the percentiles distribution of biparietal diameters for each week of gestation.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to establish longitudinal reference ranges for fetal ultrasound biometry measurements and growth parameters in twin pregnancies. METHOD A total of 200 uncomplicated twin pregnancies before 21 weeks of gestation were recruited for this prospective, longitudinal study. Women who abandoned follow-up, pregnancies with unknown outcomes or pregnancies with co...
