Vein of Galen malformations are the most common congenital neurovascular malformation and are a type of choroidal arteriovenous fistula involving the midline primitive choroidal venous circulation. Th...
To investigate the prognosis of the remaining fetus in twin pregnancy after experiencing one fetal demise in the first trimester according to the location of the demised fetus....
This was a retrospective study of twin pregnancies with one fetal demise after the first trimester (14 weeks of gestation) delivered between September 2004 and September 2022. The study population was...
A total of 80 pregnant women were included. The median gestational age for the diagnosis of fetal demise was 24.1 weeks. The gestational age of the demised fetus was not different between Groups 1 and...
When the presenting fetus is demised in a twin pregnancy, the remaining fetus tends to be delivered earlier than when the non-presenting fetus is demised....
The concept of reduced maternal immune responsiveness in pregnancy emerged when some studies demonstrated that the immune response to particular antigens is decreased throughout pregnancy. Manifold su...
Background: There are few studies on the burden of chromosomal abnormalities and single gene disorders in fetal hemivertebra (HV). We aim to investigate the cytogenetic and monogenic risk and evaluate...
To explore the application value of voxel-based morphometric (VBM) in prenatal diagnosis of microcephaly....
A retrospective study of magnetic resonance imaging of fetuses with microcephaly was performed using a single-shot fast spin echo sequence; semiautomatic segmentation of grey matter (GM), white matter...
In the fetus with microcephaly, GM volume of frontal lobe, temporal lobe, cuneus, anterior central gyrus, and posterior central gyrus decreased significantly (P < 0.001, corrected by family-wise error...
Compared with the normal control group, the GM volume of microcephaly fetuses decreased, and there were significant differences in many brain regions through VBM analysis....
Perinatal stroke is a well-defined heterogenous group of disorders involving a focal disruption of cerebral blood flow between 20 weeks gestation and 28 days of postnatal life. The most focused lifeti...
The aim of this study was to provide pediatric providers with a review of the diagnosis and management of fetal cardiac disease in the current era....
Prenatal detection of congenital heart disease (CHD) has improved but is still imperfect. In experienced hands, fetal echocardiography can detect severe CHD as early as the first trimester and a major...
Accurate diagnosis of fetal cardiac disease allows for appropriate counseling, pregnancy and delivery planning, and optimization of immediate neonatal care. There is potential for improving fetal CHD ...
Proof-of-principle disease models have demonstrated the feasibility of an intrauterine gene modification therapy (in utero gene therapy (IUGT)) approach to hereditary diseases as diverse as coagulatio...
Accurate estimations of fetal absorbed dose and radiation risks are crucial for radiation protection and important for radiological imaging research owing to the high radiosensitivity of the fetus. Co...
Computed tomography (CT) images of abdominal and pelvic regions of 46 pregnant females were segmented by experienced medical physicists. The segmented tissues/organs include the body contour, skeleton...
The first fetal patient-specific model library was developed with the anatomical characteristics of each model derived from the corresponding patient whose gestational age varies between 8 and 35 week...
The constructed fetal models and maternal anatomical characteristics are consistent with the corresponding patients. The resulting computational fetus could be used in radiation dosimetry studies to i...
The supraspinatus muscle, one of the four rotator cuff muscles, initiates abduction of the arm, simultaneously stretching the articular capsule at the glenohumeral joint, and also contributes to exoro...
Using anatomical dissection, digital image analysis (NIS Elements AR 3.0) and statistics (Student's t-test, regression analysis), the length, width, circumference and projection surface area of the su...
Neither sex nor laterality differences were found in numerical data of the supraspinatus muscle. In the supraspinatus muscle its length and projection surface area increased logarithmically, while its...
The supraspinatus muscle reveals neither sex nor laterality differences in its size. The supraspinatus muscle grows logarithmically with reference to its length and projection surface area, and propor...
