Doppler velocimetry discordance between paired umbilical artery vessels and clinical implications in fetal growth restriction

Jon G. Steller, Camille Driver, Diane Gumina, Emma Peek, Teresa Harper, John C. Hobbins, Henry L. Galan

Summary: This study examined the discrepancy in umbilical artery Dopplers between paired arteries in 425 growth-restricted fetuses and found that some cases exhibited discordant pulsatility indices. The results indicated that different sampling methods may affect the detection of abnormal pulsatility indices.

Insights into intrauterine growth restriction based on maternal and umbilical cord blood metabolomics

Georgios Moros, Theodora Boutsikou, Charalambos Fotakis, Zoe Iliodromiti, Rozeta Sokou, Theodora Katsila, Theodoros Xanthos, Nicoletta Iacovidou, Panagiotis Zoumpoulakis

Summary: The study found a clear association between altered metabolomic profiles in maternal and cord blood in IUGR pregnancies. Elevated levels of amino acids alanine, leucine, valine, isoleucine, and phenylalanine in IUGR pregnancies suggest a connection with impaired amino acid metabolism and transplacental flux. The increased levels of branched chain amino acids in intrauterine growth restricted pregnancies were linked with increased insulin resistance. Lower glycerol levels were attributed to imbalance between gluconeogenesis and glycolysis pathways, indicating poor glycolysis.

Umbilical Venous Volume Flow in Late-Onset Fetal Growth Restriction

Odessa P. Hamidi, Camille Driver, Jon G. Steller, Emma E. Peek, Lorenzo Monasta, Tamara Stampalija, Diane L. Gumina, Greggory R. DeVore, John C. Hobbins, Henry L. Galan

Summary: This study compares the differences and abnormal rates of umbilical vein flow (UVF) between fetal growth restriction (FGR) fetuses meeting Delphi criteria (FGR-D), small-for-gestational age (SGA) fetuses, and appropriate-for-gestational age (AGA) controls. The results show that absolute UVF is decreased in FGR-D, and the incidence of abnormal UVF is higher in late-onset FGR fetuses. UVF may provide additional diagnostic value for fetuses affected by growth restriction.

Cardiac Size, Shape, and Ventricular Contractility in Fetuses at Sea Level With an Estimated Weight Less-than 10th Centile

Wesley Lee, Lauren M. Mack, Roxanna Miremadi, Betul Yilmaz Furtun, Haleh Sangi-Haghpeykar, Greggory R. DeVore

Summary: The objective of this study was to investigate cardiac size, shape, and ventricular contractility in fetuses with estimated fetal weight (EFW) <10th centile at sea level. The results showed that fetuses with EFW <10th centile at sea level often had enlarged and globular-shaped hearts, with increased ventricular contractility. In comparison, fetuses at higher altitude had similar heart shape but a higher proportion with decreased ventricular contractility.

Associations between testicular development and fetal size in the pig

Claire Stenhouse, Yennifer Cortes-Araya, F. Xavier Donadeu, Cheryl J. Ashworth

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the temporal changes in testicular gene expression during testes development in fetuses of different size. The results showed that testes weight and testes weight as a percentage of fetal weight were not associated with fetal size at gestational days 60 and 90. Fetal size was not associated with seminiferous tubule area and number, as well as the number of germ or Sertoli cells per tubule. The expression of DMRT1 and SPP1 mRNA was lower in testes associated with the lightest fetuses compared to the closest to mean litter weight fetuses at gestational day 90. These findings provide insights into the expression profiles of genes associated with testicular development and function.

MicroRNA-mRNA Networks in Pregnancy Complications: A Comprehensive Downstream Analysis of Potential Biomarkers

Asghar Ali, Frieder Hadlich, Muhammad W. Abbas, Muhammad A. Iqbal, Dawit Tesfaye, Gerrit J. Bouma, Quinton A. Winger, Siriluck Ponsuksili

Summary: Dysregulation of miRNAs in the placenta can affect placental development and function, and potentially serve as diagnostic biomarkers for pregnancy complications. However, the differential expression of miRNAs in maternal circulation may not always reflect placental status, making it challenging to find a reliable biomarker for placental dysfunction.

Polyphenols and IUGR Pregnancies: Intrauterine Growth Restriction and Hydroxytyrosol Affect the Development and Neurotransmitter Profile of the Hippocampus in a Pig Model

Natalia Yeste, Nestor Gomez, Marta Vazquez-Gomez, Consolacion Garcia-Contreras, Marti Pumarola, Antonio Gonzalez-Bulnes, Anna Bassols

Summary: The study showed that under IUGR conditions, LBW fetuses had reduced numbers of mature neurons in the hippocampus and Dentate Gyrus regions, along with an increase in immature neurons and alterations in neuronal morphology. Additionally, LBW fetuses exhibited changes in neurotransmitter profiles, with an increase in the serotonin pathway. Supplementation with HTX was able to reverse these morphological and neurochemical changes in LBW fetuses.

Influence of Cerebral Vasodilation on Blood Reelin Levels in Growth Restricted Fetuses

Jara Pascual-Mancho, Pilar Pintado-Recarte, Carlos Romero-Roman, Jorge C. Morales-Camino, Concepcion Hernandez-Martin, Julia Bujan, Miguel A. Ortega, Juan De Leon-Luis

Summary: This study investigated the variation in Reelin levels in FGR newborns and their association with neurodevelopmental impairment. Results showed a significant association of elevated Reelin levels in FGR fetuses with cerebral blood redistribution compared to the normal weight group and the FGR with abnormal umbilical artery group. Future research should focus on expanding the knowledge of the relationship of Reelin and neurodevelopment impairment in FGR newborns.

Renal transplant injury at caesarean delivery: A cautionary tale and a plan for the future

Ciara Anne McCormick, Paul Champion de Crespigny, Nancy Suh, Julia Unterscheider

Summary: Pregnancy following renal transplantation is becoming more common, with overall favorable outcomes. However, there are specific risks associated with the transplant, particularly a higher risk of caesarean delivery compared to the general obstetric population. Two recent cases of renal transplant injury during caesarean delivery highlight the potential risks of abdominal surgery. We propose a standardized approach to minimize harm and increase patient safety for transplant recipients undergoing caesarean delivery.
