Effects of Perceived Fetal Movement and Fetal Ultrasound Imagery on Maternal-Fetal Attachment
… study was to examine the effects of perceived fetal movement and/or viewing of the fetus by the pregnant woman via ultrasonography on maternal-fetal attachment. The 79 subjects were 16-39 years of age and in the first or second trimester of pregnancy. Subjects completed a Demographic …

Fetal Programming of Newborn TL
… evidence that TL reflects experiences during fetal development. However, the link between maternal mental health during pregnancy and offspring aging is understudied, and there are several methodological constraints in existing literature that limit the interpretation of recent findings. The …

Object tracking and fetal signal monitoring
… backgrounds and on classifying ultra-sound fetal movement signals. The first part of this dissertation focuses on detecting and tracking laser spots which are small objects in a video frames. Many factors make this particular problem extremely challenging. Examples include, irregular shapes, …

Fetal Attachment Among Pregnant Substance Users
… potential for child abuse, substance use, and fetal attachment were investigated utilizing a sample of 56 pregnant women from a local clinic and jail. Participants ranged in age from 18 to 40 years and were between 10-40 weeks pregnant. Women completed 3 measures that assessed their childhood …

Fetal Biometry and Early Behavioural Development
… thesis is to explore the use of standardised fetal biometric measurements and their relationship, if any, with later infant outcomes. In addition, the possible influence of fetal sex and several maternal conditions (polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), hirsutism and autism) on fetal growth …

A Pipeline for Zoomed Fetal MRI
Fetal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is heavily constrained by unpredictable and substantial fetal motion that causes image artifacts and limits the set of viable diagnostic image contrasts. Fast, single-shot MRI of the fetal brain, such as HASTE, is a commonly applied acquisition method to …

Investigation and Modelling of Fetal Sheep Maturation
… thesis, I study the maturational changes of the fetal sheep ECoG (electrocorticogram) in its third-trimester of gestation (95-140 days of gestation), investigate three continuum models for electrical behaviour of the cortex, and tune the parameters in one of these models to generate the …

Roles of MicroRNAs in Fetal Lung Development
… surfactant protein, SP-A, in midgestation human fetal lung (HFL) is dramatically induced by cAMP. cAMP induction of SP-A expression is repressed by TGF-β and by hypoxia. In this study, we found that expression of the miR-29 family was significantly upregulated in epithelial cells isolated from …

i-MOM: Improving Maternal-fetal Outcome Monitoring
… in the United States is use of an electronic fetal monitor (EFM), which is employed to predict and eliminate hypoxic injury during birth. However, since inception of the EFM in the 1960s, incidence of hypoxic injury has remained nearly the same. Riddled with conflicting and confusing data, the …

Fetal programming of renal morphology and function
… vulnerable to the adverse effects of fetal growth retarding influences. In animals growth retarding diets or other insults, which have an impact on the development of cardiovascular functions, also appear to impact upon nephron number. In this study, the feeding of a 9% casein diet to …

Fetal responsiveness to auditory and tactile stimulation
The aim of this thesis was to examine fetal behavioural responses to auditory and tactile stimulation. Responses were examined for the second- and third-trimester fetuses (second-trimester ≤ 27 gestational weeks (wGA), third- trimester >27 wGA), in both experiments, …

Clinical and ultrasonic estimation of fetal weight
… it is useful to make an accurate assessment of fetal weight prior to delivery. A foreknowledge of the mass of the fetus can influence management in circumstances complicated by, for example, a previous caesarean section, a breech presentation, a compromised fetus of borderline viability and a …
