Background. Our empirical modeling suggests that deformation of placental vascular growth
is 32 associated with abnormal placental chorionic surface shape. Altered chorionic surface …

Our previous work suggests that stressors that impact placental vascular growth result in a
deformed chorionic surface shape, which reflects an abnormal placental three-dimensional …

Background Novel measures of the chorionic plate and vessels are used to test the
hypothesis that variation in placental structure is correlated with reduced birth weight (BW) …

GOAL: In clinical practice, variability of placental surface shape is common. We measure the
average placental shape in a birth cohort and the effect deviations from the average have on …

The placenta is the only human organ that has a highly variable, stochastic shape. Deviation
of a placenta from the average (more or less round, with a more or less centrally inserted …

The mean surface shape of placenta is round [1, 2] and common abnormalities of shape are
associated with vascular abnormalities and reduced placental functional efficiency. A long …

OBJECTIVES: Observational and empirical evidence suggest that the average placental
shape is round with a centrally inserted umbilical cord. Yet variability of shape is common …

INTRODUCTION: While the mean shape of human placenta is round [1] with centrally
inserted umbilical cord, significant deviations from this ideal are fairly common, and may be …

GOAL: We assess the effect on placental efficiency of the non-centrality of the umbilical cord
insertion and on chorionic vascular distribution to determine if cord centrality measurably …

Placental structure and function determine birth outcomes. Placental mass does not always
correlate with fetal birth weight (BW) in uncomplicated pregnancies which raises the …
