Aims: To evaluate the differences in linear and complex heart rate dynamics in twin pairs according to fetal sex combination [male-female (MF), male-male (MM), and female-female (FF)]. Methods: Fourteen twin pairs (6 MF, 3 MM, and 5 FF) were monitored between 31 and 36.4 weeks of...
There was no significant difference in crown rump length between female and male fetuses (4.01 +/- 1.7 versus 3.98 +/- 1.7cm; p=0.78) or in gestational age at birth (38.01 +/- 2.1 versus 38.08 +/- 2.1 weeks; p=0.67). The males were significantly heavier than females (3305.3 +/- ...
The secular trends towards increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity are detectable even in very young pre-school age children. Such findings indicate that our attention to the aetiology, prediction and prevention of obesity should start very early
Median gestational age at delivery was 40 weeks (range 34–42), and median birth weight was 3650 g (range 2406–4900), 25 of the fetuses were female and 30 male. All women enrolled were healthy and experienced a normal singleton pregnancy; twin pregnancies and in vitro fertilization (IVF)...
(250mL RBCs) is administered, then multiple doses of RhIg can be administered, but there is a potential risk of hemolysis as a result of the RhIg. When multiple D-positive RBC products are transfused to a D-negative female with childbearing potential, a combination of RBC exchange and ...
The male/female ratio was 1/1. Ductus venosus was presented in all cases; 2 fetuses (33 %) were proved to have other structural anomalies and their parents opted for termination of the pregnancy. All cases had no chromosomal anomaly associated and after birth, neonatal developments were ...
26 Interestingly, male preterm infants are more likely to have peripheral vasodilation at 24 hours after birth, and this may be related to the different maturational pattern of the autonomic nervous system in male compared with female neonates.27,28 A study found a higher sympathetic output at 6...
The median PEF rate was somewhat higher in women carrying a male rather than a female fetus (378 vs 370 L/minute). Measurements of median diurnal variation in PEF indicated more severe asthma in women bearing a female fetus (8.5% vs 7.8%). In a fully adjusted model, there was a ...
1c,d). No difference in the extent of GBS infiltration was observed between litter-matched male and female placentas. No mortality in dams nor delivery before Caesarian (C)-sections occurred in either GBS-exposed or unexposed groups. Figure 1 Placental group B Streptococcus (GBS) infection. ...
Several studies highlighted a significantly higher rate of obstetric complications in women affected by MDs. Paul de Laat et al. described the prevalence of obstetric complications in a cohort of 85 female m.3243 A > G carriers compared to the Dutch population. Of the 65 women who complete...
