Abstract:

Background: Fetal macrosomia is a common problem in obstetrics which leads to morbidity and mortality to both mothers as well as to the new-born due to complications of fetal macrosomia like prolonged labour, operative delivery, postpartum haemorrhage, perineal trauma, shoulder dystocia, birth trauma, perinatal asphyxia and perinatal mortality. This prospective study was conducted on fetal macrosomia to help future identification of such pregnancies, anticipate complications and to plan proper management.Methods: Maternal, fetal and neonatal consequences of macrosomia with specific attention t

Abstract:

Macrosomia or fetal obesity is a frequent complication of pregnancy in diabetes mellitus. Several alterations observed in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in macrosomic infants of diabetic mothers are thought to be a consequence of maternal hyperglycaemia leading to fetal hyperinsulinaemia. Macrosomic infants of diabetic mothers are prone to the development of glucose intolerance, obesity and diabetes during childhood and adulthood. Furthermore, increasing evidence is accumulating regarding the importance of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in the reduction of plasma lipids and hypergl

Abstract:

Ultrasound examination in obstetrics is a method of screening of pregnant women including identification of fetal macrosomia. Diagnosis of macrosomia is extremely important, along with other indications the conclusion about the presence of a large fetus may affect the tactics of giving birth. Gestational diabetes (GD) is a known clinical risk factor for fetal macrosomia and accounts for the majority of all types of diabetes observed during pregnancy. In women with GD fetal macrosomia is the main complication, which often together with others serves as an indication for a planned cesarean secti

Background: Fetal macrosomia, defined as a birth weight ≥4,000 g, may affect 12% of newborns of normal women and 15-45% of newborns of women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The increased risk of macrosomia in GDM is mainly due to the increased insulin resistance of the mother. In GDM, a higher amount of blood glucose passes through the placenta into the fetal circulation. As a result, extra glucose in the fetus is stored as body fat causing macrosomia, which is also called ‘large for gestational age'.

Abstract:

Background: There is a rising trend of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in our environment and it is a major cause of complications in pregnancy, delivery, and puerperium. Fetal complications of GDM are prematurity, fetal macrosomia, hypoglycemia, respiratory distress syndrome etc. Glycated albumin (GA) is a biomarker for hyperglycemic states, and unlike the oral glucose tolerance test, it does not require patient preparation, intake of glucose, or multiple sample collection. Black women have been shown to have a higher GA level than Caucasian women. Objectives: This study determined the as

Abstract:

Background: Diabetes is the most common medical complication in pregnancy, affecting about 0.5-5% of all pregnancies. In developing countries, management of diabetes in pregnancy still poses a challenge. Infants of diabetic mother are at increased risk of periconceptional, fetal, neonatal and long-term complications. Methods: It was a prospective hospital-based study conducted in tertiary care hospital, Bangalore during a period of one year to assess the outcome in infants of diabetic mother and association of various complications to maternal glycemic status. Results: The incidence of diabete

Abstract:

Maternal diabetes is associated with pregnancy complications and increased rates of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Short-term complications include macrosomia, large for gestational age, respiratory distress syndrome, neonatal hypoglycemia, neonatal intensive care unit admission, fetal growth restriction, congenital anomalies, preterm birth, preeclampsia, operative delivery, while in the long term both mothers and their infants have an increased risk of metabolic diseases. The results of the conducted scientific study confirm that type 2 diabetes and obesity are closely associated wit

Abstract:

Serious complications in both mother and newborn arising as a result of fetal macrosomia indicate the need for early diagnosis and prevention. Unfortunately, current predictors, such as fetal biometry, fundal height, and amniotic fluid index, appear to be insufficient. Therefore, we decided to assess the predictive potential of interventricular septal thickness (IVST), as measured at ≥33 weeks of gestation. Two hundred and ninety-nine patients met the inclusion criteria: complete medical history including all necessary measurements—namely, IVST obtained by M-mode echocardiography, fetal biomet

Abstract:

Background: Fetal macrosomia and its associated complications are the most frequent and serious morbidities for infants associated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The associations between long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and macrosomia have been rarely reported; therefore, we investigated the umbilical cord lncRNA profiles in GDM macrosomia. Method: Thirty pairs of GDM macrosomia and normal controls were divided into three subgroups randomly, and the umbilical cord vein blood from each subgroup was mixed, and hybridized to a microarray containing probes representing 33,000 lncRNA genes
