There is controversy about the value of continuous versus intermittent auscultation of the fetal heart during labour, but there is no agreement on what constitutes normal heart rate of a term fetus. There are variations between the definitions adopted by different countries, and even within a ...
It has been shown by previous studies that the mean fetal heart rate (FHR) decreases from the 11th to the 30th week, afterwards the values remain more stable. In the present study we evaluated the FHR pattern throughout the last stages of pregnancy and particularly we estimated the interindivi...

for the normal healthy newborn is particularly important on that track. Caregivers should use as much as possible the intrinsic potential of the mother and her newborn baby to preserve their health, with salutogenic approach and by strengthening their resilience. In this chapter you will find ...
The ventricles must deliver enough blood to the body for the body to function normally. The amount of blood that is pumped depends on several factors. The most important factor is the rate of contraction of the heart (the heart rate). As the rate increases, more blood is pumped. The ...
An increase with advancing gestational age was found for all flow velocity parameters concerned. The distribution of these parameters increased toward term, which is in agreement with the increasing variance of biometric parameters with ad- vancing gestational age. Fetal heart rate showed a significant...
and within each lamina of the visual cortex serves as a model region for Progressive and Regressive Forces Shape Neural Circuits The dynamics of synaptogenesis in the cortex of the developing fetus have been reasonably well characterized (Becker et al, 1984; Bourgeois, 1997; Bourgeois et al, 1994...
Due to the hormonal changes, many bodily functions change during pregnancy. As a rule, blood pressure drops slightly, especially at the beginning of pregnancy, and the heart rate is increased. While low blood pressure does not normally pose any risks for the expectant mother and the child, too...
The highest probability of dying, 43.4 per 1,000 population, occurred in the first 6 months. N o statisti- cally significant difference in survival rate at age 10 between males and females was observed. Cases with congenital heart disease (CHD) and without CHD were also separated and the ...
