Journal ArticleDOI

Systemic and renal hemodynamic consequences of manipulation of serum calcium and/or parathyroid hormone in the intact conscious mongrel dog.

TL;DR: Elevation of peripheral resistance due to acute Ca elevations was accompanied by decreased serum Mg and decreased renal prostaglandin excretion, and the renal circulation was resistant to acute manipulation of ionized serum calcium and PTH.
Journal ArticleDOI

Creating a state-of-the-art center for fetal diagnosis and treatment: Importance of a multidisciplinary approach

TL;DR: The creation of a state-of-the-art Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment based upon the experience at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Precise gaussian distribution functions of maternal serum α-fetoprotein and free β-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin for trisomy 21 screening: Improved accuracy for patient counseling

TL;DR: Gaussian equation curves are used to generate baseline curves against which a priori maternal age Down syndrome risks are adjusted to develop likelihood ratios for individual patients, and data suggest that normality of log transforms of alpha-fetoprotein and normalities of log transform of beta-human chorionic gonadotropin are reasonable models.
Journal ArticleDOI

Shunt-based interventions: Why, how, and when to place a shunt.

TL;DR: Benefits of fetoscopic or ultrasound-guided fetal intervention include decreased uterine irritability, decreased incidence of preterm labor, and avoidance of risks associated with hysterotomy and commitment to cesarean delivery for future pregnancies.
