Abstract

This longitudinal observational study evaluates the stage at which coronary flow can be visualized by color-coded and pulsed wave Doppler sonography in fetuses with normal cardiac anatomy. Fetal biometry, echocardiography and Doppler examination of the umbilical and middle cerebral arteries, ductus venosus, inferior vena cava and umbilical vein were performed in 109 cases. Fetuses were divided into five groups based on the Doppler examination of the umbilical artery, birth weight and the ability to visualize coronary blood flow. Coronary blood flow was identified in six of 55 fetuses with normal growth who had normal Doppler studies and perinatal outcome. In these, visualization of coronary blood flow was possible after 31 weeks' gestation at a median gestational age of 37 weeks. Coronary blood flow was also visualized in ten of 54 fetuses with severe intrauterine growth retardation and highly pathological flow velocity waveforms in all vessels soon after a significant increase of venous indices in the inferior vena cava and ductus venosus. In these cases, coronary blood flow was identified at a significantly earlier gestational age (median 27 weeks). These fetuses had a poor perinatal outcome (average birth weight less than 3r...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
