Perinatal outcomes with fetal growth restriction according to hypertensive disorder in pregnancy
태아 발육 부전이 의심되는 환자에 있어 산전 진찰의 목적은 실제 성장 부전을 일으킬 수 있는 위험인자를 가진 산모들을 조기에 발견하고 산과적 중재를 통하여 신생아의 이환률과 사망률을 줄이는데 있다. 발육부전을 동반한 임신은 다양한 산과적 문제들이 합병되어 있는 경우가 많으며 병태 생리학적으로 전자간증 및 만성 고혈압 등의 고혈압성 질환과도 연관이 있다고 밝혀진바 있다. 하지만 발육부전과 임신성 고혈압 질환이 같이 있는 경우 각 질환의 유형에 따른 주산기 예후에 대한 예후를 직접적 비교 연구는 많지 않다. 본 논문에서는 태아 …

Fetal growth and cardiovascular risk factors in an Australian cohort / Vivienne Moore.
… study investigates the relationships between fetal growth, as manifest in size and shape at birth, and later blood pressure and blood lipids, in an Australian cohort. Data on these outcomes for cohort members at age 8 years are available from a previous study. Birth details (body weight, …

The behavioral effects of nonnutritive sucking on infants of differential fetal growth
Newborn infants with differential patterns of fetal growth, as determined by their weight-for-length, typically display behaviors which have been conceptualized as reflecting the integrity of the infant's behavioral organization. The newborn infant's sucking is one behavior that has been …

An Examination of Maternal Contributors and Potential Modifiers of Fetal Growth in Pregnancy
… intervention targets that may improve maternal-fetal outcomes. In a second paper, we aimed to quantify maternal predictors of large for gestational age (LGA) neonates in the Ottawa and Kingston (OaK) birth cohort with specific hypotheses verifying the independent contribution of maternal …

The placenta in adverse maternal environments; exploring how hypoxia and food restriction limit fetal growth
… vital link between mother and fetus, supporting fetal growth through supply of oxygen and nutrients. However, it must also work to balance both maternal and fetal needs and adapt to the maternal environment to support successful pregnancy. Failure to adapt can impact maternal health and fetal …

The use of HbA1c in predicting excessive fetal growth in women at risk of gestational diabetes
… mellitus (GDM) is associated with excessive fetal growth in later gestation. Traditionally, GDM is diagnosed between 26-28 weeks’ gestation. Subsequent intervention aims to reduce the risk of excessive fetal growth and its associated sequelae. Recent data suggest accelerated fetal growth may …

Placental (Mal)Adaptation in Maternal Obesity: Immune-Mediated Regulation of Placental Nutrient Partitioning and Fetal Growth
… effects of the gestational environment on fetal growth and serves as a critical determinant of long-term offspring health. This project aims to investigate how maternal obesity, and inflammation may disrupt placental nutrient partitioning potentially leading to fetal growth restriction. To …

Unsupervised Multi-Scale Analysis for the Identification of Placental Subtypes of Human Preeclampsia and Fetal Growth Restriction
Preeclampsia (PE) and fetal growth restriction (FGR) are two of the most common pathologies of pregnancy, both thought to be primarily driven by placental dysfunction. Despite decades of research into the underlying etiologies of these disorders, as well as potential biomarkers and treatments, no …

The impact of placental SLC2A3 (GLUT-3) RNA interference on fetal growth and physiology at mid-gestation in sheep
Glucose is the primary energy substrate for fetal oxidative processes and growth. In order for glucose to be transported from maternal to fetal circulation in the ruminant placenta, it must be sequentially transported by SLC2A1 (GLUT-1) on the maternal-fetal syncytial layer, then by SLC2A3 (GLUT-3) …

Automated Detection of Maternal Vascular Malperfusion Lesions in Human Placentas Diagnosed with Preeclampsia and Fetal Growth Restriction Using Machine Learning
Introduction: Preeclampsia (PE) and fetal growth restriction (FGR) are common obstetrical complications, often with pathological features of maternal vascular malperfusion (MVM) in the placenta. Current placental clinical pathology methods involve a manual visual examination of histology sections, …

Prediction and prevention of fetal growth restriction and compromise of fetal wellbeing: systematic reviews and meta-analyses with model based economic evaluation.
Restriction of fetal growth and compromise of its wellbeing remain significant causes of perinatal death and childhood disability. There is a lack of scientific consensus about the best strategies for predicting these conditions before birth and thus there is uncertainty about the best management …

Investigating the nutritional and social determinants of favorable fetal growth conditions (FFGC) in pregnant women living in the Free State Province, South Africa
… Poor birth outcomes are an indicator of a poor fetal environment, and a predictor of increased risk of certain health outcomes in adulthood, such as non-communicable diseases and obesity, as posited by the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) theory. Current DOHaD research relies …

Gestational Diabetes: the Role of Prenatal Care On Excessive Fetal Growth Outcomes and Postpartum Screening For Diabetes Among South Carolina Women (2004-2007)
… likelihood of experiencing an excessive fetal growth outcome among women with GDM, it does appear to reduce the likelihood of excessive fetal growth outcomes when compared to the reference population. Study two focused on examining postpartum screening for diabetes within the ACOG …

Biochemical and Morphological Effects of Iron Deficiency And/or Chronic Ethanol Consumption During Pregnancy on the Maternal Organism and Fetal Growth and Development in Mice
The present study was undertaken to determine the influence of chronic alcohol ingestion on the maternal organism and the fetus under conditions of nutritional adequacy and the effects of chronic ethanol ingestion and/or iron deficiency on reproductive performance as well as iron and folate …

Effects of maternal Bromocriptine and Melatonin treatments on fetal development : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in Animal Science at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand
… placental size, which in turn mediates a slower fetal growth. The effect of season on placental and fetal development is established early in pregnancy (by day 84 of gestation), and is suggested to be mediated by seasonal differences in circulating prolactin concentrations in the dams and/or …

Placental 11b-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase expression and birth weight in Hamilton County, TN
… to cortisol has been linked to restricted fetal growth. Placental production of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (11β-HSD2) inactivates cortisol before passage into the fetus. This study tests the hypothesis that increased placental 11β-HSD2 expression has a positive correlation with …

The Effect of Exercise-induced Myokines on Placental Health and Function
… in pregnancy is associated with optimized fetal growth; however, the implicated mechanisms remain unknown. We hypothesize that exercise-induced myokines may be acting on the placenta to optimize fetal growth across gestation. Methodology: 1) Circulating profiles of 11 myokines were analyzed …

The role of uterine natural killer cell-inhibition in pregnancy
… placental function and transcriptome, as well as fetal growth. Immune checkpoint blockade of NKG2A during pregnancy in wild-type mice did not affect fetal growth, suggesting acute ablation of this pathway does not interfere with pregnancy outcome. In addition, generation of a humanised mouse model …
