No Effect of Fetal Sex on Amniotic Fluid Alpha-Fetoprotein
Arie Drugan,Yuval Yaron,June Murphy,Saleh A.D. Ebrahim,Ralph L. Kramer,Mark P. Johnson,Mark I. Evans +6 more
TL;DR: Gender had no impact on AF-AFP in singleton or twin pregnancies, suggesting that the differential influence of sex hormones on the activity of the AFP gene is negligible.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolated unilateral fetal pleural effusion: the role of sonographic surveillance and in utero therapy
TL;DR: In appropriately evaluated and selected cases, thoracoamniotic shunt placement may result in resolution of fetal hydrops and prevent intrauterine fetal death.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amniotic fluid alpha-fetoprotein levels in the differential diagnosis of cystic hygroma.
TL;DR: In 7 second trimester pregnancies ultrasound (US) demonstrated cystic hygroma colli (CHC), amniocentesis was performed in 6 patients and results may suggest that the CHC was inadvertently aspirated.
Journal Article
Early amniocentesis. What exactly does it mean
TL;DR: This work proposes definitions of procedures by gestational age, which should allow fair and appropriate comparisons of the risk rates of an invasive procedure when the same term is used to cover procedures from 9 to 15 weeks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Midtrimester diagnosis and anomalies in the dup(22q) syndrome: Correlation of aneuploidy with low maternal serum alpha‐fetoprotein and oligohydramnios
Mark P. Johnson,Anne Greb,Gregory L. Goyert,Arie Drugan,Faisal Qureshi,Alan J. Sacks,Mark I. Evans +6 more
TL;DR: The correlation between aneuploidy and the presence of low maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein, oligohydramnios, and midgestational intrauterine growth retardation is emphasized and compared to complete and partial proximal dup(22q) syndromes.
