[Clinico-morphologic changes in the feto-placental complex in neonatal pathology]

Organs of newborns expired in the early neonatal period were studied as were histological, histochemical and ultrastructural alterations in the placentas of fetuses with a history of chronic intrauterine hypoxia (45 cases). The findings compared with the similar investigations conducted in the females with physiological pregnancy and labor were suggestive of the interrelation of placental alterations and structural lesions in the liver and myocardium of the newborn.
