Compared to fetuses with high CRL at the first trimester and high biparietal diameter in the second trimester (continuous high growth), fetuses with low CRL and biparietal diameter (continuous low growth) had a significant higher risk of asthma and reduced lung function.
Subjects: We studied 137 normal-growth fetuses (normal group, 20 40 weeks) and 51 fetuses with high umbilical artery pulsatility index (umbilical placental insufficiency, UPI group, 26 40 weeks).
Therefore, under normal fetus growth and the low oxygen tension of the placenta, the energy produced and consumed by the growing fetus is sufficient to support the orderly growth of the tissue masses.
Conclusions: Compared to normal fetuses, intrauterine growth restricted fetuses show a difference in that the irregularity of the fetal heart is decreased.
The α2 value was significantly higher (P=0.0001) than in the normal fetuses, which performed better (F=34.2, P<0.0001) than other heart rate variability indexes in differentiating the intrauterine growth restricted fetuses from the normal fetuses in stepwise discriminant analysis.
It is hypothesized that the growth of fetus and cancerous cells shares additional characteristics with regard to defective mitochondrial function.
Circulating leptin concentrations in the ovine intrauterine growth restriction fetus were significantly elevated on gestational day 138 compared with controls.
We hypothesize that the intrauterine growth restriction fetus has mitochondrial activation compared with its larger counterpart, and sought to demonstrate this using the MC twin model.
Shared or special features of growth from fetus development into adulthood and aging processes and carcinogenesis are briefly compared with regard to energy requirements of highly complex function of Yin and Yang.
3 7 State-of-the-art fetal surveillance techniques are important in the diagnosis and surveillance of the growth restricted fetus, and afford timely delivery.
Study design: Fetal heart rate data of 192 normal fetuses and 86 intrauterine growth restricted fetuses between 31 and 42 weeks of gestation were studied.
