The development and clinical validation of a computer system for the numerical analysis of
nonstress tests is reviewed, and recent improvements are reported. The analysis was …

Objective To describe the time sequence of changes in fetal monitoring variables in
intrauterine growth restriction and to correlate these findings with fetal outcome at delivery …

Objectives Intrauterine growth restriction is a common clinical problem, but the underlying
hemodynamic changes are not well known. Our aim was to determine the normal …

The objective of this study was to assess the value of Doppler indices calculated from the
inferior vena cava and ductus venosus in the identification of acidemia and hypoxemia as …

Objective To observe the longitudinal changes in growth, and associated Doppler
measurements, of the fetal circulation in pregnancies with a normal outcome and those …

Antenatal intrauterine cerebrovascular events were found to play an important role in the
pathogenesis of perinatal brain damage. Changes in placental vascular resistance, cardiac …

Background Studies on blood flow velocity in the fetal middle cerebral artery have revealed
signs of brain sparing in chronic hypoxia. These signs of brain sparing can disappear in the …

Aim To evaluate the accuracy of middle cerebral/umbilical artery resistance index (C/U RI)
ratio in predicting acidemia and low Apgar score at 5 minutes after birth in the infants of …

Objective To assess the value of Doppler indices, calculated from fetal arterial peripheral
vessels, cardiac outflow tracts and venous vessels, in the identification of acidaemia …

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) due to placental insufficiency is associated with blood
flow redistribution in order to maintain delivery of oxygenated blood to the brain. Given that …
