estriol/hypoxia

This multidisciplinary research has been subdivided into two parts. The first examines prognosis of the foetus and its weight development in relation to changes in the hormonal curves of HPL and E3 carried out in a batch of 339 3rd term pregnancies. A very high incidence of small-for-date newborns

A total of 40 full-term newborns, 41 miscarried fetuses and 196 pregnant women were examined. Of these, 85 women had an uncomplicated pregnancy, 70 were with threatened abortion and 41 with miscarriage within the gestation period of 24-27 weeks. Blood was examined for the glycolysis parameters

The data of 24 intrauterine growth retarded newborns were analysed retrospectively. The urine estriol, the placental perfusion, and the serum HCS concentrations were determined simultaneously 1 to 27 days before delivery, and cardiotocographic non stress test were also made. There was no correlation

Eleven pregnant women with normal fetal outcome (controls), seven women with small for dates babies and 15 non-pregnant women were studied. Hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Hct) and the half saturation tension of oxygen, P50-value (as a measure for the oxygen affinity of Hb) were measured. Urine estriol

Radioimmunoassays of human placental lactogen and estriol levels in the maternal plasma, ultrasound biometry of the abdominal diameter (AD), pulsed Doppler measurements of uteroplacental arteries, the common carotid artery (CCA), and the umbilical artery (UA) and fetal heart rate monitoring were

A total of 110 pregnant women engaged in cotton growing and 110 rural residents having no occupational contacts with pesticides were examined. Occupational exposure to pesticides resulted in the majority of cases in early development of placental insufficiency, which fact is confirmed by reduced

BACKGROUND Uteroplacental hypoxia has been reported to lower estrogen levels in preeclampsia as the result of reduced aromatase activity. OBJECTIVE We asked whether the chronic hypoxia of residence at high altitude in the absence of preeclampsia lowered estrogen, whether such effects differed in

OBJECTIVE To investigate vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) serum levels in severe preeclampsia (PE) and HELLP syndrome. METHODS Serum concentrations of VEGF, progesterone, estradiol and estriol were measured in 16 patients with PE and 14 patients with HELLP syndrome and in 30 well-matched

Administration of indomethacin to 29 women in the 26th--37th week of gestation with premature labor contractions was followed in 26 by a significant decrease of uterine activity. The effect of therapy was monitored by serial external tocometry recordings and by plasma concentrations of estriol,

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the maternal serum concentrations of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in patients whose pregnancies were complicated by pre-eclampsia or HELLP syndrome with those of healthy pregnant controls and to study its relationship with the hormonal
