Evaluation of MicroRNA-210 and Protein tyrosine phosphatase, non-receptor type 2 in Pre-eclampsia.

Background: The precise origin of Pre-eclampsia (PE) remains elusive. Multiple pieces of evidence support the existence of hypoxia in PE. MiRNA-210 (miR-210), which is induced by Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1α (HIF-1α) during hypoxia, is one of the most hypoxia sensitive miRNAs.

Prediction of Fetal Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in Diabetic Pregnancies Compared with Postnatal Outcome.

Objective: The aim of this study was to estimate the accuracy of prenatal assessment of interventricular septum (IVS) thickness, right myocardial wall thickness (RMWT), and left myocardial wall thickness (LMWT) by two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound for the prediction of perinatal mortality and postnatal diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) among diabetic pregnant women.

Subjects And Methods: A total of 120 diabetic pregnant women at 35 weeks or more were enrolled in this study from January 1, 2012, to June 30, 2014, at Ain Shams Maternity Hospital, Cairo, Egypt. The 2D ultrasound was done once for all the participants at the time of recruitment; IVS thickness, RMWT, and LMWT were measured.

Feasibility of prediction of cesarean section scar dehiscence in the third trimester by three-dimensional ultrasound.

Purpose: To assess the role of three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound mutiplanar view in prediction of cesarean section (CS) scars dehiscence.

Subjects And Methods: One hundred pregnant women with previous CS scars were investigated by ultrasound to measure the scar thickness by 2D ultrasound and to depict the uterine wall by 3D coronal plane, using 3D multiplanar view. Straight line cut section by 3D multiplanar view was used and prediction of dehiscence was by detecting fenestration of the wall.

Three-dimensional power Doppler indices of preeclamptic placentas correlated to umbilical artery Doppler and albuminuria.

Unlabelled: Abstract Purpose: To obtain three-dimensional power Doppler (3DPD) indices of placenta in pregnancies complicated with preeclampsia compared to normal pregnancies and correlated to umbilical artery Doppler and albuminuria.

Methods: A case-control study was conducted at Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital. Evaluation of placental vascular indices, vascularization index (VI), flow index (FI) and vascularization flow index (VFI), was done using 3DPD in 80 preeclampsia pregnancies compared to 80 normal controls.

Three-dimensional power Doppler and endometrial volume as predictors of malignancy in patients with postmenopausal bleeding.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of 3D power Doppler angiography (3D-PDA) for distinguishing between benign endometrial lesions and endometrial carcinoma in patients with postmenopausal bleeding (PMB).

Material And Methods: One-hundred and fifty women with PMB and an endometrial thickness (ET) of ≥4 mm on 2D sonography were assessed by 3D-PDA before endometrial sampling to obtain definitive histological diagnosis of endometrial pathology. Endometrial volume (EV), vascularity index (VI), flow index (FI) and vascularity-flow index (VFI) were calculated by computer-aided analysis.
