The placenta is a transitory organ indispensable for normal fetal maturation and growth.
Recognition of abnormal placental variants is important in clinical practice, and a broader …

Human fetal thermoregulation, maternal-fetal heat exchange, and the role of the umbilical
cord in these processes are not well understood. Ethical and technical limitations have …

PURPOSE: To investigate relationship between placental thickness during the second and
third trimesters and placental and birth weights. METHODS: From January 2011 to June …

Background: The purposes of this study are to sonographically measure the placental
thickness (PT) in normal fetuses; to correlate it with gestational age (GA), fetal growth …

Maternofoetal physiologically-based pharmacokinetic models integrating multi-
compartmental maternal and foetal units were developed using Simbiology® to estimate …

Introduction: A normally functioning placenta is critical for normal fetal growth and
development. The size of placenta increases during fetal growth to allow it to do its vital …

The placenta is crucial for a successful pregnancy, facilitating oxygen exchange and nutrient
transport between mother and fetus. Complications like fetal growth restriction and pre …

Background: Variations in placental thickness are associated with increased perinatal
morbidity and mortality. However, only very few studies have been established on the …

The intricate interplay between the developing placenta and fetal-maternal interactions is
critical for pregnancy outcomes. Despite advancements, gaps persist in understanding …

Methods: This is an observational cross-sectional study that examines by means of
ultrasonography the correlation between placental diameter and thickness with gestational …
