Purpose: To compare the adverse pregnancy outcomes between the pregnant women undergoing chorionic villous sampling (CVS) and those without CVS.Materials and methods: A cohort study was conducted on low risk pregnancies attending Chiang Mai University Hospital between years 2003 and 2017 and identify the database of women undergoing CVS (study group) and control group. Each case in study group was matched for 10 cases of the control by maternal age and year of procedure.Results and conclusions: Of 1384 pregnancies undergoing CVS, 776 cases met criteria and were matched with 7760 controls. The gestational age at delivery and actual birth weight were significantly different between two groups (38.02 versus 38.96 weeks, p value <.001 and 3025 versus 3092 g, p value .001). Moreover, CVS group had significantly higher preterm birth (9.4 versus 7.3%, p value .037; RR 1.287, 95% CI 1.017-1.629). However, there was no significant difference in fetal loss rate before 24 weeks (1.16 versus 1.9%, p value .14), small for gestational age (SGA); SGA (4 versus 4%, p value .948) and low birth weight (LBW); LBW (8.9 versus 8.0%, p value .41). Pregnancies undergoing CVS tend to deliver earlier and has significantly higher preterm birth. However, the incidences of fetal loss, SGA and LBW are not significantly increased.

Hemodialysis II: Procedure and Complications

DialyzersA hemodialysis (HD) dialyzer is a plastic cartridge containing thousands of parallel hollow fibers, which serve as semipermeable membranes. These fibers are typically made from cellulose-based or other synthetic materials. During HD, blood is pumped into the top of the cartridge and distributed among these fibers. Simultaneously, dialysis fluid, known as dialysate, is introduced into the bottom of the cartridge, bathing the outside of the fibers. Across the semipermeable membrane,...

Diabetes: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Complications

For most patients, experiencing several weeks of polyuria, polydipsia, fatigue, and significant weight loss may indicate the presence of diabetes. Furthermore, adults displaying the phenotypic appearance of type 2 diabetes (particularly those who are obese and not initially insulin-requiring), may have islet cell autoantibodies, suggesting autoimmune-mediated β cell destruction and a diagnosis of latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA). The categorization of glucose homeostasis is...

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-III: Symptoms and Complications.

Understanding the variety of primary symptoms and systemic complications that characterize chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is crucial for healthcare professionals.
Symptoms of COPD can be classified as primary or systemic. Primary symptoms relate to reduced airflow, while systemic or extrapulmonary symptoms relate to COPD's broader impact on the body.
