Abstract:

Background and ObjectiveFetal growth and size are known indicators of perinatal health, although the etiology of this relationship is unclear, and twins are known to differ from singletons with respect to fetal growth trajectories over the course of pregnancy. With a lack of research on ultrasound-based fetal weight references in twin populations, this study aimed to construct ultrasound-based in utero fetal weight references for each gestational age for a twin population.MethodsTwins delivered at a tertiary care hospital in Montreal were used in this study. Fetal weight was calculated using

Abstract:

The hypothesis of this work is that through establishing the background variation of ultrasonographic fetal biometry measurements and elucidating the parameters that influence these measurements, a new Fetal Ultrasound Biometry Quality (FUB-Q) image-scoring tool can be created which will be reproducible and able to quantify the accuracy of fetal measurements. Six studies are included, each answering a specific research question. The aim of the first study was to ascertain whether pre-existing image quality scoring methods reflect measurement accuracy and reproducibility. It demonstrated that d

Abstract:

Ultrasound is the primary modality for fetal imaging, but Magnetic Resonance Imaging nowadays has a valuable complementary role as it often reveals findings that alter pregnancy management. Knowledge on some clinically relevant areas of the normal fetal development is still lacking, and this was the aim of this project. We wanted 1) to obtain reference MRI data of normal brain measurements before 24 gestation weeks (GW), 2) to study the development of the hippocampus, 3) to study the development of the ear and 4) to test the ability of MRI for evaluating the lip and palate. For this, we retros

Abstract:

Vitamin D is very important for endochondral ossification and it is commonly insufficient during pregnancy (Javaid et al., 2006). Insufficiency of vitamin D during pregnancy predicts bone mass and hence predicts adult osteoporosis (Javaid et al., 2006). The relationship between maternal vitamin D and manually measured fetal biometry has been studied (Mahon et al., 2009). However, manual fetal biometry especially volumetric measurements are subjective, time-consuming and possibly irreproducible. Computerised measurements can overcome or at least reduce such problems.

Abstract:

Introduction -Fetal programming is the concept by which a fetus adapts to the intrauterine environment by altering blood flow to various organs which may induce permanent structural and/or functional change in those organs, altering disease susceptibility in later life. We hypothesised that the heart is a susceptible organ and that alterations in blood flow from the placenta in relation to maternal factors may have different effects on each side of the heart. We therefore aimed to assess the feasibility of measuring placental volume and growth, cardiac structure and cardiac function and assess

Abstract:

[Truncated abstract] In this thesis the role of lactate measurement has been evaluated in intrapartum assessment of fetal wellbeing. Specifically, I have addressed the question of whether fetal lactate measurement is better than the assessment of fetal heart rate patterns or the measurement of pH at predicting fetal brain injury after intrapartum asphyxia. Using an ovine model of repeated umbilical cord occlusion designed to mimic events which may occur during human labour, I have shown that the measurement of fetal lactate levels after repeated cord occlusion is significantly associated with

Abstract:

The Fecal Incontinence Quality of Life scale (FIQL) is a patient reported outcome measure (PROM) that is used to measure the effect that fecal incontinence has on quality of life, and has previously demonstrated high reliability and validity. It measures four domains of quality of life: lifestyle, coping/behavior, depression/self-perception, and embarrassment. Despite its wide use, previous studies have not applied rigorous modern methods to evaluate the FIQL's psychometric properties at the item and test level.

Stereology supplies image sampling rules to estimate geometric quantities such as volume, surface area, feature length and number. The method is well suited to non-invasive image acquisition methods such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Meanwhile, in Magnetic Resonance (MR) images analysis area, automated software packages have been continuously developed and become well-established tools especially in human brainMR images processing. The aims of the thesis are (1) to combine proper rules to sample MR images with automated or semi-automated data acquisition methods, in order to implement f

It has been reported that globally we have achieved Millennium Development Goal (MDG) Target 7C, to halve the proportion of the population without access to safe drinking water; however, there is a major flaw with this statement. While Target 7C calls for access to `safe' drinking water, what is actually being measured and reported is access to an `improved' water source. The World Health Organization (WHO) maintains that they must use this proxy measure because the methods for water quality testing are too expensive and logistically complicated, but by doing so, they may be over reporting saf

Purpose of this thesis is to study the principle of operation of cardiotocography in monitoring fetal life, further defining the main requirements for this equipment and defining the parameters of monitored biosignals. These findings are supported by the literature. Based on the gained knowledge, the system design of cardiotocography is made with focus on reading contractions. Main parameters of the function blocks are defined. Circuit solution for sensing contractions is suggested, including the design of the sensor. Designed circuits are verified on a prototype.

Building on previous work to discriminate ruminant and human fecal contamination, we cloned class Bacteroidetes 16S rRNA genes from pig, elk, dog, cat, and seagull fecal DNAs.

Alpha1-proteinase inhibitor (alpha1-PI) has been shown to be a useful marker of gastrointestinal protein loss in some species. The objectives of this study were, first, to develop and analytically validate an ELISA for the measurement of alpha1-PI in feces and serum from cats, and, second, to evaluate fecal alpha1-PI concentrations in healthy cats and cats with chronic gastrointestinal disease. The lower detection limits of the ELISA were 0.02 g/L for serum and 0.04 microgram/gram for feces. The observed-to-expected (O/E) ratios for serial dilutions of serum and fecal samples ranged from 100.
