A semiquantitative and qualitative histopathologic assessment of the effect of type II intrauterine growth retardation on the structure of the carotid bodies in fetuses and neonates
… been undertaken to investigate the effects of intrauterine hypoxia on the carotid body of foetuses. Clinically, intrauterine growth retardation has been ascribed, amongst other causes, to placental insufficiency that results in chronic hypoxia in the fetus. Intrauterine growth retardation can …

Die Evaluierung der Dopplersonographie der Aa. uterinae in der 19.-24. Woche zur Vorhersage von Schwangerschaftskomplikationen
… included pregnancy induced hypertension, intrauterine growth retardation below 5th centile and preterm delivery before 34 weeks of gestation. Different cutoff values for bilateral RI as 70th, 80th, 90th and 95th centile were examined for the best sensitivity and the lowest false- positive …

Early life origins of the insulin resistance syndrome in the aged guinea pig.
In human populations, perturbed growth in early life and ageing have been identified as risk factors for the development of Insulin resistance syndrome (IRS). The consequences of restricted prenatal growth on postnatal function have been investigated using numerous experimental models of …

The investigation of the calcium antagonist nifedipine on fetal umbilical artery Doppler waveforms
… related to this circulation in hypertension and intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR). 2. The biokinetics of nifedipine and a review of the experiments that have been performed using the drug in human and animal models. 3. The principles of Doppler ultrasound and the literature pertaining to its …

Mutationsanalyse der Gene PlGF und FLT1 bei Patientinnen mit IUGR und ARED-Flow im Doppler der A. umbilicalis
… term. This angiogenic process is controlled by growth factors such as bFGF, VEGF and PlGF. The interaction of PlGF with FLT1 seems to induce non-branching angiogenesis and this type of angiogenesis predominates in pregnancies with intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) and ARED (absent or …

An assessment of the role of Doppler ultrasound velocity waveform analysis of the umbilical artery in the diagnosis of fetal distress in labour
… by gestational proteinuric hypertension or by intrauterine growth retardation or both with a normal cardiotocographic tracing at the onset of labour. Main outcome measures: 1) Acid-base status of the fetus was assessed after deli very by analysis of umbilical artery blood. 2) Apgar score was …

Language Development In Premature and High Risk Children
… low birthweight (1500 grams or less), due to intrauterine growth retardation (the small-for-gestational age infant has a birthweight less than 2 SD below the mean for gestation) or due to severe Respiratory Distress Syndrome and birth asphyxia, survive free of major debilitating sequelae. …

Intrauterine Wachstumsretardierung (IUGR) mit ARED-Flow in der Dopplersonographie der Arteria umbilicalis : molekulargenetische Analyse der Gene IGF-I und IGF-IR
… of mutations of the genes IGF-I (Insulin-like Growth Factor-I) and IGF-IR (Insulin-like Growth Factor-I Receptor) in the pathogenesis of intrauterine growth retardation/ restriction (IUGR) with ARED (Absent or Reversed EndDiastolic)-flow in the Doppler ultrasonography of the A.umbilicalis. IUGR …

Signal Transduction Mechanisms Mediating the Regulation of Vascular G Protein-Coupled Receptors
… results in a mouse that shows indications of intrauterine growth retardation phenotype and becomes spontaneously hypertensive at 8-12 weeks of age due to alterations in the balance between mechanisms regulating vasodilatation and vasoconstriction. The extensive loss of GRK2 expression favors …

Intergenerational effects of early life programming: the role of glucocorticoids and maternal obesity
… a relationship between early life events such as intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) resulting in low birth weight and the development of these chronic illnesses in adult life. To explain the link between these two events, it has been suggested that an ‘insult’ at a critical time point of …

Expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-A and its Receptors in Uteroplacental Tissues of the Normotensive and Hypertensive Pregnant Rat
… often leading to preeclampsia and fetal intrauterine growth retardation. Many studies have shown that vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) is a potent angiogenic factor, that is, it is responsible for the formation of new blood vessels from existing vessels. VEGF-A has been shown …

Premature aging of the lungs of the offspring induced by maternal nicotine exposure during gestation and lactation: protective effects of tomato juice
… in the lungs of offspring, these include; intrauterine growth retardation, low birth weight, premature birth, reduced pulmonary function at birth, and a high occurrence of respiratory illnesses after birth. This study aimed at investigating the effects of maternal nicotine exposure during …

Preeclampsia: The Roles of Acute Inflammation and Intrauterine Stress
… prematurity—abnormal lung and renal development, intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), and, possibly, fetal demise. Interestingly, it has been shown that exposure to PE in utero can lead to many developmental problems during the progeny’s life span. While intensive research has been dedicated to …

An assessment of the dietary intake of pregnant women in the West Coast / Winelands region, Western Cape Province: relation to low birth weight
This secondary analysis aimed to develop dietary scores to assess the dietary intake of pregnant women in the West Coast/ Winelands region and determine the association with LBW. Further to determine the association between the dietary scores and maternal socioeconomic and socio-demographic …
