Effect of fetal magnetic resonance imaging on fetal heart rate patterns

Article Abstract:

MRI scans do not have any adverse effect on the fetal heart, according to a study of 10 pregnant women whose babies were monitored during an MRI scan. MRI is better than ultrasound in detecting certain fetal abnormalities.

Relationship between myometrial resistance artery behavior and circulating lipid composition

Article Abstract:

Abnormal fat metabolism may be one of the causes of preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is a complication of pregnancy characterized by high blood pressure and abnormal blood clotting. Researchers exposed samples of uterine blood vessels from healthy pregnant women to blood taken from pregnant women with preeclampsia. The blood vessels did not relax sufficiently when exposed to the blood of women with preeclampsia. This did not occur in vessels exposed to blood from healthy pregnant women. This indicates that a substance in blood may damage blood vessels. Blood samples from women with preeclampsia had higher levels of apolipoprotein A1, which is involved in fat metabolism.
