Fetal cardiac function can be evaluated using a variety of parameters. Among these, cardiac cycle time-related parameters, such as filling time fraction (FTF) and ejection time fraction (ETF), are promising but rarely studied. We aimed to report the feasibility and reproducibility of fetal FTF and ETF measurements using pulsed-wave Doppler, to provide reference ranges for fetal FTF and ETF, after evaluating their relationship with heart rate (HR), gestational age (GA) and estimated fetal weight (EFW), ...

<b><i>Objectives:</i></b> Fetal right ventricular (RV) function assessment is challenging due to the RV geometry and limitations of in utero assessment. Postnatally, 2D echocardiographic RV fractional area change (FAC) is used to assess RV global systolic function by calculating the percentage of change in RV area from systole to diastole. Reports on FAC are scarce in prenatal life, and nomograms throughout pregnancy are not available. Our aims were (1) to study prenatal RV ...

M-mode and 2D have been proposed for evaluating fetal myocardial thickness. However, studies comparing the performance of both modalities are lacking. We aimed to compare 2D versus M-mode reproducibility for assessing myocardial wall thicknesses.A prospective study including 45 healthy fetuses from low-risk pregnancies evaluated between 18 and 41 weeks of gestation. Left and right ventricular free-wall and septal myocardial thicknesses were measured at end-diastole (ED) and end-systole (ES) in transverse ...

Strawberry fruit (Fragaria × ananassa) is a soft fruit with high water content at ripe stage (more than 90% of its fresh weight). Aquaporins play an important role in plant water homeostasis, through the facilitation of water transport and solutes. We report the role played by FaNIP1;1 in the receptacle ripening process. The analysis by qRT-PCR of FaNIP1;1 showed that this gene is mainly expressed in fruit receptacle and has a ripening-related expression pattern that was accompanied by an increase in ...

Prospective cohort study (2018-2019) including singleton pregnancies with PTL and/or PPROM with an amniocentesis at admission; and asymptomatic (non-exposed) women. We compared women with PTL and/or PPROM with IAI (n = 18), without IAI (n = 22) and a non-exposed group (n = 20). IAI was defined by a positive culture and/or high ...

The systolic (S) to diastolic (D) duration ratio (S/D) has been proposed as a useful index to assess ventricular function in some pediatric cardiopathies. Prenatal reports on S/D are scarce and nomograms are not available. We aimed to establish normal values for left (LV) and right ventricular (RV) S/D ratios in normal fetuses and to investigate its relation to heart rate (HR), gestational age (GA) and estimated fetal weight (EFW). Prospective cohort study including 602 low-risk singleton pregnancies (GA ...
