Conclusions: Our study revealed no difference in fetal DNA levels and fetal DNA: maternal DNA ratio between the patients carrying Down syndrome fetuses and the controls.BMC Pregnancy & Childbirth
In pregnant women, hemodilution is one of the main components that may cause a decline in the platelet count, but pregnancy per se does not cause abnormalities in either the number or the function of platelets. Patients with congenital platelet abnormalities may become pregnant, however, and acqu...
Both non-significant findings may be attributable to small sample size and low screened levels of mood. Women's interviews suggest that CP is a promising context for getting information and support from others, learning about pregnancy, telling one's story and feeling a part...
On the other hand, pituitary levels of prolactin and growth hormone had no correlations with any index of mammary development. These results provide evidence that placental mammotropic hormones contribute quantitatively to the mammary development during pregnancy in mice and suggest that the lactogenic ...
(two quantitatively predominant endogenous estrogens in nonpregnant woman) have preferential binding affinity for ER alpha over ER beta, whereas 16 alphahydroxyestradiol (estriol) and other D-ring metabolites (quantitatively predominant endogenous estrogens formed during pregnancy) have preferential binding ...
hCG, progesterone, alpha-fetoprotein, and estradiol in the identification of ectopic pregnancy. OBJECTIVE: To enhance the laboratory diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy by determining levels of hCG, progesterone, estradiol (E2), and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)... JM Smith - 《Obstetrics & Gynecology》 被引...
Second, the timing of urine testing in relation to last administered dose of buprenorphine may influence urine drug levels. Kronstadt et al. tested 170 specimens from 18 subjects after a single 0.4 mg sublingual buprenorphine dose, and found that the Norbup:Bup ratio became greater than 1.0 appr...
The subjects who participated in this trial maintained reduced levels of plaque bacteria 4–6 h after the initial prophylaxis and first 30 s rinse (Fig. 2A-C). The reductions observed for the interventions were not significantly different from the known bacterial reduction effects of dental prophyl...
As the PDA maps generated for the QUS parametric images implied, different regions of these parametric maps contribute substantially to the model’s prediction, albeit with varying levels. It has been shown that intratumor heterogeneity is an important factor in responsiveness of tumors to cancer ...
(cSMART) which barcodes and quantitates the percentage of fetal mutation alleles in plasma relative to the background levels of the maternal alleles.9 In a subsequent study, we developed a prototype cSMART assay for ARNSHL and in validation studies of 25 pregnancies showed that it was reliable...
