11. Fetal Cardiac Function and Venous Circulation - Experiences with Velocity Vector Imaging
Abstract : Placental dysfunction resulting in intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a common complication of pregnany and severe IUGR, with ensuing fetal hypoxia is an important cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity. Doppler studies of fetal and maternal vessels are routinely used for fetal surveillance and alterations in fetal venous blood flow has been demonstrated as a late sign of fetal compromise. READ MORE

12. Expression and regulation of vasoactive substances, sex steroids and their receptors in placenta during normal pregnancy and preeclampsia
Abstract : Despite intense studies preeclampsia remains enigmatic and a major cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. It is now widely accepted that the placenta has a central role in preeclampsia; delivery of the placenta is the only known cure. READ MORE

13. Fractional moving blood volume in fetal organs estimated using power Doppler ultrasound
Abstract : Power Doppler ultrasound (PDU) is a sensitive technique to detect slow blood movement. The aim of the present study was to develop a standardized method for quantification of the PDU signals recorded from a specific region of interest (ROI) within fetal organs. READ MORE

14. Hypercoagulation in preeclampsia : implications for maternal health and fetal growth
Abstract : Background: Preeclampsia (PE) is a serious complication of pregnancy characterized by hypertension, proteinuria, oedema and hypercoagulation. Damage in organs, such as the liver and kidney, is harmful to the maternal health. Impairments in placental function cause intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR). READ MORE

15. Symphysis Fundus Measurements for Detection of Intrauterine Growth Retardation
Abstract : A case-control study was performed to evaluate the Swedish population-based symphysis fundus (SF) reference curves. The study included 242 small for gestational age (SGA) neonates (169 term and 73 preterm infants) as cases and 296 non-SGA infants as controls. Two Swedish SF curves were evaluated. READ MORE
