Salafia et al (1989)approached this problem in a rather convoluted fashion by showing that there was a relatively high incidence of chorioamnionitis andfunisitisin cases in which there had been an abnormalfetal heart ratepattern; they suggested that there may be some factor in the infected amnio...
Screening tests such as the foam stability test, determination of optical density at 650 nm, and semiquantitative measurement of phosphatidylglycerol have a low positive predictive value and high sensitivity. Quantitative tests such as determination of L/S ratio and saturated phosphatidylcholine assay, ...
These effects on the FHR response were not related to parity, fetal gender, medical (antepartum) risk, or eventual birth outcomes. Impaired dishabituation in these fetuses of mothers with high concentrations of CRH suggests that neurological systems rich with CRH receptors that support learning and ...

Global trends of increasing alcohol use among women of childbearing age due to economic development, changing gender roles, increased availability of alcohol, peer pressure and social acceptability of women’s alcohol use may put an increasing number of pregnancies at risk for prenatal alcohol exposure...
On the other hand, high levels of IGF binding protein 1 (IGFBP-1) (Figure 8) in stressed preterm infants [91,92] can inhibit IGF action. Figure 8. Serum concentrations of the insulin-like growth factor binding proteins in the human fetus. The figure is adapted from cordocentesis data ...
