Maternofetal stress induces fetal programming that restricts skeletal muscle growth capacity
and metabolic function, resulting in intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) of the fetus. This …

Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a complex obstetric issue describing a fetus that does not
reach its genetic growth potential. The primary cause of FGR is placental dysfunction …

Preterm birth is a global epidemic and a leading cause of neonatal mortality in Sub-Saharan
Africa. We evaluated the prevalence and risk factors of preterm birth among women …

Fetal growth restriction (FGR) affects between 5-10% of all live births. Placental insufficiency
is a leading cause of FGR, resulting in reduced nutrient and oxygen delivery to the fetus …

Introduction Little is known about the fetal and pregnancy effects of khat chewing during
pregnancy. The aim of the current study was to determine the impact of chewing khat during …

We previously reported the multi-system sequelae of fetal growth restriction, induced by
placental underperfusion, in near-term born rabbits, in the immediate neonatal period and …

Background Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is an obstetrical condition where a fetus
has not achieved its genetic potential. A consequence of IUGR is a decrease in brain myelin …

Introduction Restriction in the growth of the fetus is a leading cause of stillbirth, neonatal
mortality, and short-and long-term morbidity. Documented existing scientific evidence have …

Placental dysregulation frequently results in pregnancy complications that impact fetal well-
being and potentially predispose the infant to diseases later in life. Thus, efforts to …

Background. Undernutrition contributes to almost half of all under‐five deaths. Fetal
malnutrition (FM) has been implicated in both short‐and long‐term consequences among …
