Aim: We aim to compare the maternal serum thiol and ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) levels between pregnant women with placenta previa and those with uncomplicated pregnancies and to determine whether changes in these levels were useful in predicting cases of abnormally invasive placenta (AIP).
Methods: Fifty-five pregnant women diagnosed with placenta previa according to the diagnostic criteria (case group) were compared to 100 women with uncomplicated pregnancies of similar demographic characteristics (control group). The patients with placenta previa were further divided into two subgroups: AIP (n = 20) and placenta previa without invasion (n = 35).
Purpose: The primary aim was to study the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) measurements and cerebral blood flows in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) who were at risk of cerebral edema and to compare the measurements with healthy neonates.
Methods: Neonates diagnosed as Stage II and III HIE patients were enrolled in the study group. ONSD measurements and blood flow Doppler studies in the first 24-48 h of life during hypothermia and following hypothermia treatment.
Article Synopsis
- Neonatal nutritional supplements can boost early growth in infants who are small for their gestational age, but their impact on long-term growth remains uncertain.
- A review of various studies found that while these supplements improved infant length and bone mineral content, they did not significantly affect childhood BMI.
- Additionally, the benefits in height growth appeared to be present in male toddlers but were not observed in females, indicating that results may vary by sex.
Background: Optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) measurements with magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonography in preterm infants are similar.
Aim: We measured ultrasonographic ONSD and calculated the brain volumes of preterm infants using two-dimensional cranial ultrasonography and explored the relationships thereof with gestational age, birth weight, head circumference, and new Ballard score.
Method: This prospective study included preterm infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit without intracranial pathology.

Objectives: We assessed the effects of antenatal steroid treatment on preterm laboratory analysis conducted in the first 24 hours of life.
Methods: Medical records of inborn preterm infants whose gestational age was ≤32 weeks were retrospectively reviewed in this study. Preterm infants whose mothers received antenatal betamethasone treatment of either 12 mg or 24 mg and who did not were divided into two groups.
