Water homeostasis during fetal development is of crucial physiologic importance. The successful formation and development of the placenta is critical to maintain normal fetal growth and homeostasis. The expression of several ...

Evolutionary trade-offs required for bipedalism and brain expansion influence the pregnancy rise in uterine artery (UtA) blood flow and, in turn, reproductive success. We consider the importance of UtA blood flow by ...

Maternal alcoholism (ethanol and sugar cane brandy) during gestation induces delayed cellular growth and differentiation in fetal rat palate epithelium, with increased nuclear, cytoplasmic and cellular volumes, increased ...

Perinatal mortality is a global health problem that disproportionally affects developing countries. Despite significant advances made in recent decades, control of perinatal mortality is hampered by the lack of applicability ...

Twinning and maternal nutritional restriction leads to fetal hypoxia, oxidative stress, and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) in near-term sheep pregnancies. Our aim was to determine the effect of oral supplementation ...

Objective: the establishment of the interpretation of intrapartum fetal heart rate moni-toring led to the creation of a diagnostic methodology based on probability and entropy law, which evaluates the tracing of fetal ...
