Editor's Notes
- #5 Fetal swallowing- 25% of fetal weight Fetal urine- Daily urine production is approximately 30% of fetal weight
- #17 Amniotic fluid index (AFI). It is a total of the DVPs in each four quadrants of the uterus. it is a more sensitive indicator of AFV throughout pregnancy
- #20 In Dm, reflex hyperglycemia in fetus leads to osmotic diuresis , women requiring insulin have five fold increase of hydraminos.
- #21 Anencephaly/spina bifida- increased fluid transudation from exposed meninges, abnormal swallowing, excessive urination from either stimulation of cerebrospinal centers or deprived of their protective coverings or by lack of antidiuretic effect because of impaired arginine vasopressin production. Hyperprostaglandin E syndrome (HPS) is the antenatal variant of Bartter syndrome and characterized by polyhydramnios and preterm delivery in the antenatal period and salt-wasting, isosthenuric or hyposthenuric polyuria, hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis in the postnatal period. We report a one-month-old infant with HPS with a 15-year-old sister with Bartter syndrome
- #22 Hydrops fetalis: congestive heart failure, severe anaemia or hypoproteinemia → placental transudation
- #23 Symptoms mostly from pressure symptoms. Mirror syndrome was defined by Ballantyne in 1892- the mother develops edema and protinuria and frequently eclampsia
- #33 Pulmonary hypoplasia Oligohydrominios Twisted skin (wrinkly skin) Twisted face (Potter facies) Extremities defects Renal agenesis (bilateral)
- #39 Serial FBC- WBC, absolute neutrophil count
- #42 1.Diagnostic 2.Prophylactic 3.Therapeutic
- #44 Pulmonary hypoplasia-.
