Multiple Vascular Stalks in a Patient With Persistent Fetal Vasculature
Abstract:
Persistent fetal vasculature (PFV) is a well-defined phenomenon that is characterized by the presence of fetal hyaloid vessels within the eye after birth. Although there have been numerous studies describing the occurrence, surgical management, and possible pathogenesis of PFV, few studies have discussed the possibility of a patient having more than one vascular stalk. The authors describe a 5-year-old female with PFV having two well-delineated stalks. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2019;50:330-331.].

Fetal Circulation
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...
Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...

Vascular Resistance
The primary determinants of vascular resistance are vessel diameter, blood viscosity, and vessel length. Among these, vessel diameter plays the most significant role due to the fourth power relationship described by...
