Article Synopsis
- - This study investigated the link between Doppler indices of the ophthalmic artery and negative outcomes for newborns in pregnant women with preeclampsia (PE) using data collected from 110 patients in southeastern Brazil.
- - Researchers measured various ophthalmic parameters and tracked multiple neonatal outcomes, such as neonatal death and low birth weight, but found no significant relationship between Doppler results and these outcomes.
- - The findings suggest that while ophthalmic artery Doppler can help assess maternal health, it does not independently predict adverse outcomes for newborns in cases of severe preeclampsia.
Objective: To study the effect of antenatal corticosteroid administration on fetal hemodynamics using longitudinal analysis of Doppler waveforms in the umbilical artery (UA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA).
Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective study that included 30 fetuses at risk for preterm birth. Twenty-eight pregnant women were treated with betamethasone for fetal lung maturation.
Our main objective was to evaluate the ophthalmic artery Doppler behavior in twin pregnancies and compare with singleton pregnancies. We studied 64 healthy twin pregnant women between 12 to 38 weeks of gestation. Resistance index (RI), pulsatility index (PI), and peak ratio (PR) were determined.

Contrary to metapopulation models, however, current empirical studies of metacommunity structure using variation partitioning assume a space-for-dispersal substitution due to the lack of analytical frameworks that incorporate patch connectivity predictors of dispersal dynamics.

Methods: Healthy women (n = 30) were evaluated. The resistive index, pulsatility index, and peak ratio were determined by two independent observers who were blind to each other.
Germline mutations that inactivate BRCA1 are responsible for breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility. One possible outcome of genetic testing for BRCA1 is the finding of a genetic variant of uncertain significance for which there is no information regarding its cancer association. This outcome leads to problems in risk assessment, counseling and preventive care.
