Impact of Breathing Control Training Program on sonographic quantification of abdominal vasculature.

Objectives: To compare vascular scanning parameters (vessel diameter, peak systolic velocity, end-diastolic velocity, and resistive index) and scanning time before and after breathing control training program for selected abdominal vessels.

Methods: This study was pre and post quasi-experimental. The researchers designed a breathing training program that gives participants instructions through a video describing breathing maneuvers.

Humeral Length versus Femur Length for Estimating Fetal Age in the Third Trimester Using Ultrasound among Saudi Fetuses.

Background: Ethnicity can influence organ measurements, so each ethnicity should provide normal references. The study was conducted to measure the normal ranges of humeral and femoral diaphysis lengths, to compare them during the third trimester of pregnancy in the Saudi population, and to identify their role in estimating fetal age.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 60 normal singleton pregnant females in the third trimester.
