Pelvimetry by magnetic resonance imaging as a diagnostic tool to evaluate dystocia

Obstetrics and Gynecology

Abstract

To test the clinical value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pelvimetry for the diagnosis of cephalopelvic disproportion. All deliveries from January 1993 through December 1994 were reviewed to identify 42 nulliparas at term with vertex presentation and cesarean delivery due to dystocia. Complete data were available for 41 women, and subjects were divided into the following two subgroups, according to clinical data: "cephalopelvic disproportion" (n = 28) and "failure to progress" (n = 13). Ten nulliparous women with uncomplicated vaginal delivery served as controls. Pelvimetry data from postpartum MRI were correlated with fetal and neonatal dimensions to evaluate various criteria for the diagnosis of cephalopelvic disproportion. Comparing both the fetal head volume derived from antepartum ultrasound assessment and the neonatal head volume (postpartum measurement) with maternal pelvic capacity determined by MRI, cephalopelvic disproportion (head volume exceeding pelvic capacity) indicated that 25 and 27, respectively, of the 28 women had been clinically diagnosed correctly with cephalopelvic disproportion, corresponding to sensitivities of 89% and 96%, respectively. Fetal head volume was not larger than pelvic capacity in any ...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.
