Objective A new analysis using root mean square of integrated and subtracted time series (RIS-A) was developed to determine a fractal dimension of fetal heart rate (FHR) fluctuation. Methods Computer-simulated fractional Brownian series, whose fractal dimensions (D) ranged from 1.5 to 2.5 with a...
How useful is intrapartum electronic fetal heart rate monitoring?fetal heart ratecardiotocographssignal lossIt is essential for an obstetric anesthesiologist to be aware of the fetal status before undertaking care of the laboring mother. In the last 20 years electronic fetal monitoring has been the ...
If sufficient numbers move across the membrane, you can measure the electrical currents. Nerve Growth and Regeneration When nerves grow, they secrete a substance called nerve growth factor (NGF). NGF attracts other nerves nearby to grow and establish connections. When peripheral nerves become severed...
Fetal Heartbeat One of the more emotional times in an early pregnancy may be the first time you hear the baby's heartbeat. The baby's heartbeat can be seen in a Doppler ultrasound as early as five to six weeks of development. By 12 to 13 weeks, your doctor can hear the heartbeat ...
But just because it's legal doesn't make it safe to mix with alcohol. The combination of alcohol and marijuana can lead to tachycardia (a resting heart rate higher than 100 beats per minute); raised blood pressure; and increased impairment of cognitive skills, motor skills, and driving ...
Postpartum infections can quickly become serious or even life-threatening, so they almost always require treatment with antibiotics. The drugs might be given orally or through an IV, depending on the infection and its severity. Most of the antibiotics used to treat postpartum infections are safe ...
A blood count is routinely obtained to have an estimate of how much bleeding has already occurred. The bhCG level is a measure of the volume of living tissue associated with the developing pregnancy. Both ectopic and intrauterine pregnancies (IUP) produce bhCG, although there is usually a diff...
Novel approach to measure myocardial performance index: pulsed-wave tissue Doppler echocardiography. A simple, reproducible, noninvasive myocardial performance index (MPI) for the assessment of overall cardiac function has been described previously. The pu... T Tekten,AO Onbasili,C Ceyhan,... - ...
rest.59An increased risk for mortality is defined as a TRV ≥2.5 m/s, an NT-pro-BNP level >160 pg/mL, or right heart catheterization (RHC)–confirmed PH. Additional evaluation with a 6MWD may be undertaken to measurefunctional capacityand to establish a baseline and track improvement with...
