Curious about how your baby is developing in the womb? Here's a breakdown of fetal development week by week.
Microfluidics digital PCR reveals a higher than expected fraction of fetal DNA in maternal plasma. Clin Chem 2008;54:1664–1672. 10. Bartha JL, Finning K, Soothill PW. Fetal sex determination from maternal blood at 6 weeks of gestation when at risk for 21-hydroxylase deficiency. Obstet ...
Cell-free fetal DNA fraction (FF) in maternal plasma is a key parameter affecting the performance of noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT). Accurate quantitation of FF plays a pivotal role in these tests. However, there are few methods that could determine
end-systolic volume, ventricular mass, ventricular-septum area, and derived functional parameters, such as ejection fraction, stroke volume and cardiac output, have been reported with good
referred at 37th week of gestation with abnormal obstetric ultrasound. Fetal echocardiographic examination showed biventricular hypertrophy and pericardial effusion with a left ventricular ejection fraction of 55%, which were confirmed at birth. Histopathological and biochemical analysis of skeletal muscle rev...
The mean left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) was 29%. Approximately half of all patients had an EF <30%, and 14% had an EF between 40% and 45%. The most frequently reported medical history conditions other than heart failure included hypertension (79%), coronary artery disease (58%)...

(analogous to specificity) determined by the fraction of positive cells that belong to the group; recall (analogous to sensitivity), as the fraction of group cells that were positive; and the F-score, calculated as the harmonic mean between recall and precision (F1 = 2 × (recall ×...
ACE inhibition prevented albuminuria, resulted in approximately 22 % higher renal blood flow and approximately 35 % lower filtration fraction compared with vehicle-treated sheep. A greater recruitment of renal function reserve indicated a reduction in glomerular hyper-filtration–mediated kidney dysfunction....
