Curious about how your baby is developing in the womb? Here's a breakdown of fetal development week by week.
A periviable birth is one that occurs between20 and 25 weeks of pregnancyor gestation, or at the limit of viability. Because the 20 to 25-week gestational age includes the earliest point of fetal viability, there will be morecomplicationsassociated with these births, more potential short- ...
SEM images demonstrate canalization of the urethral/vestibular plate in the developing male and female external genitalia, respectively, followed by proximal to distal fusion of the urethral folds in males only. The fusion process during penile development occurs sequentially in multiple layers and ...
Therefore, the development of an automated and reliable diagnostic tool capable of assessing cardiac vascular structures during fetal heart examinations is highly desired. Such a tool could significantly alleviate the workload of physicians and assist clinical physicians in performing more precise and ...

As birth and fetal weights are markers for intrauterine development, we investigated the effect of the KIR-HLA-C interactions in mediating FGR by assessing fetal weight in the three mating combinations described above (KIR × C*05, WT × C*05, and C*05/KIR × WT), as well...
Drinking alcohol during development of the embryo or fetus may cause miscarriage. The more drinks that are consumed and the longer the drinking occurs, the greater the possibility of spontaneous abortion. Drinking more than three days a week was associated with a higher risk of miscarriage [23,24...
Connections to placental development and function We selected the 31 protein-coding genes closest to the index SNP of the 32 loci identified in the fetal GWAS (that is, excluding LOC339593; Table 1) and examined their expression using tissue-specific mRNA abundance data from the Human Protein At...
control mice. (b) Similarly, offspring of MAA dams weighed significantly more than control pups throughout development. (c) Differences in weight between treatment groups were no longer present by adulthood at 10 weeks of age.*P<0.05. MAA, maternal allergic asthma; PBS, phosphate-buffered saline...
It has been proposed that PCOS originates during fetal development and that this might be due, in part, to maternal androgen excess9,10,11,12. Maternal obesity, either established prior to pregnancy or due to an excessive weight gain during pregnancy, increases the risk of GDM and gestational...
