the original biophysical profile is time consuming and costly. this study was performed to compare diagnostic value of the original fetal biophysical profile to the modified biophysical profile. patients were selected from high risk pregnancies referred for fetal assessment and were randomly assigned to two groups. the measures of outcomes were perinatal mortality, cesarean section for abnormal...

Introduction: High-risk pregnancies can result in many complications for the fetus. In these pregnancies, different tests such as non-stress test (NST), biophysical profile (BPP), oxytocin contraction stress test (OCT), and Doppler sonography can be used to evaluate fetal health. As standard BBP requires more time and expertise, in this study, we evaluated the relationship between standard BPP,...

mother's mental health status during pregnancy has important effects on fetal growth and development. however, there are few studies concerning association of maternal depression and biophysical profile (bpp) of the fetus. we performed this research to know if maternal depression has any association with fetal bpp score. for measuring depression, farsi version of patient health questionnaire-9 ...

Objective: one of the best tests for the assessment of a fetus is the biophysical profile test which has a significant effect on fetus health and the outcome of pregnancy. The present study was designed to determine the relationship between the full biophysical profile and the rapid biophysical profile tests in antepartum fetal surveillance. Patients and Methods: In this prospective study, Sin...

This paper presents a complete methodology for modeling gradings also called non-full-availability groups servicing single-service and multi-service traffic streams. The methodology worked out by the authors makes it possible to determine traffic characteristics of various types of gradings with state-dependent call arrival processes, including a new proposed structure of the Erlang’s Ideal Gra...

BACKGROUND We aimed to analyze the range of motion (ROM) and internal rotation (IR) and external rotation (ER) isokinetic strength according to humeral retroversion of the dominant shoulder. METHODS We included 40 elite baseball players in Korea (OBP group: n=20 players with careers spanning >10 years, age: 19.37±2.21 years, height: 181.00±5.41 cm, weight: 84.58±7.85 kg; BBP group: n=20 playe...

background: the aim of this study was to compare the biophysical profile parameters (bpp), especially amniotic fluid index (afi), before and after administration of corticosteroids (dexamethasone and betamethasone) and these two groups with each other. materials and methods: this double-blind clinical trial study was done on 70 patients for 28–34 weeks women having at least one preterm labor in...
