The pulmonary neuroendocrine system includes pulmonary neuroendocrine cells (PNECs) and neuroepithelial bodies (NEBs) that are distributed throughout respiratory epithelium, and regulate lung growth and maturation antenatally. Abnormalities in this system have been linked to many hypoxia-associated

Placental ischemia can be pre-placental (maternal), placental or post-placental (fetal), with corresponding changes in villous vasculature. Hydrops fetalis (HF) resulting from hemoglobin (Hb) Bart disease can serve as a model for intrauterine hypoxia, and placentas from such cases show a distinctive
A Down syndrome female born at 35 wk estimated gestational age with non-immune hydrops fetalis associated with a complete atrioventricular septal defect and large patent ductus arteriosus with hypoxemia, severe anasarca and hypotension was treated successfully with extracorporeal life support for
This study aims at observing and comparing the antigen expression of some fetal T- and B-lymphocyte subpopulations in Rh-isoimmunization, which determines anemic hypoxia in the fetus, and nonimmune fetal hydrops (NIFH) which, even if there are some etiological factors involved, causes hipoxic
Eleven cases of non-immune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) are presented. Incidence was 1.8 out of 10,000 births. NIHF became more common than immune hydrops fetalis (1.4/10,000 births). Mortality was of 81% and complications were frequent. NIHF is associated with prematurity, neonatal anoxia,
Plasma concentrations of atrial natriuretic factor were determined by radioimmunoassay in 16 human fetuses of between 19 and 38 weeks' gestation. Fifteen fetuses had varying degrees of anaemia as a result of Rh isoimmunisation, and one fetus was normal. Eight fetuses had ultrasonographic evidence of
In hydrops fetalis (HF) the placenta can be markedly enlarged and the villi show stromal edema, increased Hofbauer cells, and reduced numbers of capillaries. Hemoglobin (Hb) Bart is the most severe form of thalassemia, causing HF due to profound anemia. We report a previously undescribed histologic
We report a case of spontaneous reversal in utero of hydrops fetalis caused by parvovirus B19 maternal-fetal infection. The route leading to fetal hydrops is not fully understood. Severe anemia with hypoxemia and viral fetal myocarditis have been incriminated. Then the main issue is fetal death or
The distribution of lipid in the fetal adrenal cortex is reported to correlate with the duration of hypoxia and degree of fetal stress. The original studies were based on Oil Red O staining, requiring frozen tissue that is often not available. To investigate the reliability of these observations,
Intrauterine death of one fetus in monochorionic twinning is associated with high rates of perinatal morbidity and mortality in the surviving fetus. Subsequent development of hydrops fetalis in the donor twin after fetal demise of the recipient twin has been described in only two case reports and
Fetal sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) with hydrops fetalis is known to have a poor prognosis. We report a case of SCT with hydrops fetalis which was diagnosed antenatally at 30 weeks gestation. After delivery by cesarean section, the tumor was removed and the infant is alive one year after surgery
The removal of massive tissue tumors often leads to rapid blood loss and decreased lung compliance because of large volume shifts. Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) have both been used as a means of support during resection of saccrococcygeal teratomas.
Human parvovirus B19 (B19V) causes a variety of human diseases. Disease outcomes of bone marrow failure in patients with high turnover of red blood cells and immunocompromised conditions, and fetal hydrops in pregnant women are resulted from the targeting and destruction of specifically erythroid
Ultrasonic diagnosis is indispensable in perinatal medicine. The applications are; 1) diagnosis of early pregnancy, 2) diagnosis of fetal life, 3) diagnosis of pregnancy weeks by fetal crown rump length, 4) evaluation of fetal growth by biparietal diameter, femur length, abdominal size, or estimated
