Objective: Neonates produce predominantly skeletal muscle troponin I (TnI) in the
myocardium; however, in asphyxiated neonates, high levels of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) have …

Perinatal asphyxia is a clinical condition which results from oxygen deprivation of the fetus
or newborn and the breakdown of perfusion in various organs. The aim of this study was to …

Background: Perinatal asphyxia is a major cause of neonatal and childhood morbidity and
mortality. Electronic foetal monitoring is used routinely to know the condition of the baby …

Introduction Fetal bradycardia due to sentinel events such as placental abruption, cord
prolapse or uterine rupture is associated with an increased risk of acidemia at birth. In the …

Objective: To assess the validity of cardiotocography and meconium staining of amniotic
fluid, as a predictor of neonatal acidaemia. Methods: It was a cross sectional analytical …

Fetal distress is a condition when fetus does not receive enough oxygen causing fetal
asphyxia interrupting growth and development of fetus leading to fetal and neonatal death …

Background/objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of a more biologic
parameter for evaluation of the effect of nuchal cord tightness; the study of blood flow in the …

Objective: The present study was designed to assess the utility of Doppler velocimetry in the
setting of non-reassuring cardiotocography tracings. Methods: Two hundred fifty six women …

Background: Although the effects of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) have been documented in
infants, the associations among the value of maternal and cord blood total homocysteine …

Introduction Numerous studies have revealed the impact of umbilical cord (UC) length on
fetal perfusion; abundant data implicate abnormal UC length to neurological delay and …
