Research based on 182,492 births, wielding statistical power to uncover even mild negative associations, showed that both single and multiple nuchal cords at the time of delivery are not associated with adverse perinatal outcomes. Nuchal cords are associated with higher birth weights and lower
OBJECTIVE
We investigated the effect of a nuchal cord on fetal hypoxia by using amniotic fluid and cord blood erythropoietin as markers of chronic and acute hypoxia, respectively.
METHODS
A total of 167 full-term pregnancies without maternal complications or fetal prelabor complications except fetal
This study was designed to evaluate umbilical cord ischaemia-modified albumin (IMA) levels and the cord blood gas parameters of foetuses with or without nuchal cords, at the time of elective C-section. The cross-sectional study population consisted of the patients who were admitted to the Tertiary
Cardiac electromechanical intervals were measured during labour in 103 unselected human fetuses. Mean values (+/- SD) for the three intervals measured were 76.01 +/- 9.93 ms for the pre-ejection period, 41.56 +/- 8.51 ms for the isovolumetric contraction time and 156.23 +/- 16.58 ms for the left
"Real time" ultrasonic equipment enables antenatal diagnosis of nuchal encirclement by the umbilical cord. One hundred cases of normal term pregnancies were sonographically examined immediately before programmed delivery induction with a purpose of finding the cord around fetal neck. During the
OBJECTIVE
To determine the concentration of 8-isoPGF(2alpha) in cord blood as a measure of oxidative stress during labour, and to compare them with other established parameters of in vivo lipid peroxidation and with the acid-base status of the newborn.
METHODS
Umbilical cord arterial and venous
A consecutive series of 56 infants of 32 weeks gestation or more who were resuscitated at birth by endotracheal intubation was studied to determine the occurrence of abnormal cardiotocograph traces and acidosis as determined by cord artery blood measurements. Thirty-two infants (57%) had neither
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neuropsychiatric disorder worldwide, but its etiology is still not fully understood. Previous studies have reported that perinatal hypoxic-ischemic conditions may be a potential cause of ADHD.

The creation of an intestinal pouch following total gastrectomy is exceedingly rare in infants. We present the case of a term infant who underwent a near-total gastrectomy on day 2 of life for diffuse gastric necrosis with perforation due to severe hypoxemia from an intrapartum nuchal cord.
OBJECTIVE
Umbilical cord entanglement is known to be a major cause of fetal hypoxia and to be correlated with several neonatal complications, but almost all of the previous reports were restricted to nuchal cord. In this study, we retrospectively examined the correlation between multiple part cord
The purpose of this study was to compare specific fetal, maternal, and placental factors, including neonatal morbidity and mortality, in infants with umbilical cords (UCs) of normal length to the same factors in infants with excessively long umbilical cords (ELUCs). We performed an 18-year
The hypothesis that unexplained stillbirth arises in a similar manner as the sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is based in part on shared neuropathologic features between the two entities, including hypoxic-ischemic lesions such as white matter and brainstem gliosis, as well as aplasia or
BACKGROUND
Asphyxia is a medical condition in which placental or pulmonary gas exchange is impaired or they cease all together, typically producing a combination of progressive hypoxemia and hypercapnea.
OBJECTIVE
In addition to regional differences in its etiology; it is important to know its risk
