概括
扩大胎儿生长限制 (FGR) 的定义,包括腹周长 (AC) 和胎儿估计体重 (EFW),可以更好地检测异常的动脉多普勒 (UAD). 此更新的FGR定义有助于更早地识别有风险的怀孕.
科学领域:
- 围产科和孕产妇医学
- 胎儿超声波和多普勒研究
- 生殖内分泌学 生殖内分泌学
背景情况:
- 胎儿生长限制 (FGR) 是产周期不良结果的重要风险因素.
- 孕产妇和胎儿医学协会扩大了FGR标准,包括腹周 (AC) <第10个百分点,独立于估计的胎儿体重 (EFW).
- 之前的研究证实了扩大定义的孕期新生儿小小的检测有所改善,但其对识别异常动脉多普勒 (UAD) 的影响尚不清楚.
研究的目的:
- 为了将符合扩大FGR定义 (正常EFW与受限制AC) 的胎儿中检测UAD异常的可能性与仅使用EFW识别的可能性进行比较.
- 通过使用不同的定义标准来评估UAD异常在识别FGR的诊断性能.
主要方法:
- 追溯队列研究,分析符合FGR标准的胎儿生长超声波 (EFW<10个百分点或AC<10个百分点与正常EFW).
- 仅根据AC标准识别的胎儿与EFW标准识别的胎儿之间的UAD异常患病率 (心缩/心缩比升高,缺席/逆转末端心缩速度) 的比较.
- 接收机操作员特征 (ROC) 曲线分析,以评估每个FGR定义的UAD异常的预测值.
主要成果:
- 在619个FGR扫描中,441 (71%) 符合EFW标准,178 (29%) 仅满足AC标准. 单靠AC的FGR在怀孕早期 (30.4 vs. 35.4周) 被诊断出来,并且在怀孕32周之前更频繁 (70% vs. 11%).
- 异常UAD的比例在各组之间是相似的 (15%对15%). 然而,仅使用EFW就会错过29%的异常UAD发现.
- 结合FGR的定义 (考虑EFW和AC) 显示了异常UAD的最高检测率 (曲线下的面积:0.78),超过单独的EFW (0.69) 和单独的AC (0.73).
结论:
- 结合EFW和AC的FGR定义显著提高了异常UAD的检测,而不是仅使用EFW标准.
- 限制AC的胎儿显示异常UAD指数的可能性与符合EFW的FGR标准的胎儿相似.
- 扩展的FGR定义促进了FGR的早期检测,并改善了相关异常多普勒发现的识别.

Fetal Circulation

Fetal circulation is a unique system that facilitates the exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste products between the developing fetus and the mother. This intricate process takes place through a special organ called the placenta.
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...

Teratogenicity
2.4K
The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...

Peripheral Arterial Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Evaluation

Clinical manifestationsPeripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) manifests through a range of symptoms, from the characteristic intermittent claudication to atypical presentations and severe complications in advanced stages. Intermittent claudication, a hallmark symptom of PAD, presents as exercise-induced muscle pain that typically resolves within minutes of rest. This pain is reproducible and stems from inadequate blood flow, leading to the accumulation of lactic acid produced during anaerobic...
