Prevalence and diagnostic accuracy of microcephaly in a pediatric cohort in Bra...
Bertozzi,Ana Paula Antunes Pascalicchio; Gazeta,Rosa Estela; Fajardo,Thamirys Cosmo Gillo; Moron,Antonio Fernandes; Soriano-Arandes,Antoni; Alarcon,AnaAbstract Objective We sought to describe the prevalence of microcephaly and to compare the different cutoff points established by the Brazilian Ministry of Health at various times during a Zika virus epidemic. As a secondary aim, we investigated the possible etiology of the microcephaly. Method This retrospective study utilized newborn participants in the Zika Cohort Study Jundiaí. Newborns from the Zika Cohort...
Histological analysis of the intestinal wall of newborn rats submitted to hypox...
Silvares,Soraia Guerra; Moron,Antonio Fernandes; Simões,Manuel de Jesus; Cintra,Álvaro Ulhoa; Montero,Edna Frasson de Souza; Araujo Júnior,EdwardAbstract Purpose To evaluate the effect of N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) in newborn rats submitted to hypoxia and reoxygenation (H/R) conditions in an experimental model of necrotizing enterocolitis. Methods Eight pregnant rats and their 70 cubs were used (5 groups) and exposed to H/R conditions and received NAC at different times. The animals in the H/R groups were placed in a gas chamber (100% CO2) for 10 minutes an...
Pubic Arch Angle Measurement by Transperineal Ultrasonography: A Prospective Cr...
Carvalho Neto,Raimundo Homero; Viana Junior,Antonio Brazil; Moron,Antonio Fernandes; Araujo Júnior,Edward; Carvalho,Francisco Herlânio CostaAbstract Objective To evaluate the ability of the pubic arch angle (PAA) as measured by transperineal ultrasonography during labor to predict the delivery type and cephalic pole disengagement mode. Methods The present prospective cross-sectional study included 221 women in singleton-gestational labor ≥ 37 weeks with cephalic fetuses who underwent PAA measurement using transperineal ultrasonography. These measur...
Cervical Pessary Plus Progesterone for Twin Pregnancy with Short Cervix Compare...
França,Marcelo Santucci; Hatanaka,Alan Roberto; Andrade Junior,Valter Lacerda de; Elito Junior,Julio; Pares,David Baptista SilvaAbstract Objective The present study aims to determine if the use of cervical pessary plus progesterone in short-cervix (≤ 25 mm) dichorionic-diamniotic (DC-DA) twin pregnancies is equivalent to the rate of preterm births (PBs) with no intervention in unselected DC-DA twin pregnancies. Methods A historical cohort study was performed between 2010 and 2018, including a total of 57 pregnant women with DC-DA twin p...
Ultrasonographic evaluation of the fetal central nervous system: review of guid...
Milani,Hérbene José Figuinha; Barreto,Enoch Quindere de Sá; Araujo Júnior,Edward; Peixoto,Alberto Borges; Nardozza,Luciano Marcondes MachadoAbstract Central nervous system malformations constitute the second most common group of anomalies in fetuses. Such malformations have assumed clinical importance because of their association with high rates of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Therefore, it is extremely important to assess the fetal central nervous system during the prenatal period, in order to identify any changes in its development and ther...
Fetal posterior fossa malformations: review of the current knowledge
Milani,Hérbene Jose Figuinha; Barreto,Enoch Quindere de Sá; Ximenes,Renato Luis da Silveira; Baldo,Carlos Alberto Raimundo; Araujo Júnior,EdwardAbstract Ultrasound diagnosis of posterior fossa malformations in the prenatal period is a challenge, having major implications for the counseling and follow-up of pregnant women. The purpose of this study was to review aspects of the ultrasound evaluation of the fetal posterior fossa, as well as to describe the most relevant ultrasound findings of the main posterior fossa malformations that can affect the fetu...
Zika Virus Infection in Pregnant Women and Microcephaly
Duarte,Geraldo; Moron,Antonio Fernandes; Timerman,Artur; Fernandes,César Eduardo; Mariani Neto,Corintio; Almeida Filho,Gutemberg Leão deAbstract From the discovery of the Zika virus (ZIKV) in 1947 in Uganda (Africa), until its arrival in South America, it was not known that it would affect human reproductive life so severely. Today, damagetothe central nervous system is known to be multiple, and microcephaly is considered the tip of the iceberg. Microcephaly actually represents the epilogue of this infection’s devastating process on the central...
Assessment of Length of Maternal Cervix between 18 and 24 weeks of Gestation in...
Andrade,Soraya Gomes de Amorim; Andrade,Fernando Moreira de; Araujo Júnior,Edward; Pires,Cláudio Rodrigues; Mattar,Rosiane; Moron,Antonio FernandesAbstract Purpose To determine cervical biometry in pregnant women between 18 and 24 weeks of gestation and the ideal mode of measurement of cervical length in cases of curved and straight cervical morphology. Methods The uterine cervices of 752 low-risk pregnant women were assessed using transvaginal ultrasound in a prospective cross-sectional study. In women with straight uterine cervices, cervical biometry wa...
Assessment of embryo/fetus during pregnancy by threedimensional ultrasonography...
Araujo Júnior,Edward; Santana,Eduardo Félix Martins; Nardozza,Luciano Marcondes Machado; Moron,Antonio FernandesFetal development is studied since the advent of two-dimensional ultrasonography. However, a detailed assessment of structures and surfaces improved with three-dimensional ultrasonography. Currently, it is possible to identify embryonic components and fetal parts with greater detail, at all pregnancy trimesters, using the HD live software, where the images gain realistic features by means of appropriate control...
Intervalos de referência para o volume da cisterna magna fetal por meio do méto...
Nardozza,Luciano Marcondes Machado; Passos,Ana Paula; Araujo Júnior,Edward; Bruns,Rafael Frederico; Moron,Antonio FernandesObjetivo:Determinar intervalos de referência para o volume da cisterna magna fetal por meio do método bidimensional (2D) usando o modo multiplanar da ultrassonografia tridimensional.Materiais e Métodos:Estudo de corte transversal com 224 gestantes normais entre a 17ª e 29ª semanas. O volume foi obtido automaticamente pela multiplicação dos três maiores eixos nos planos axial e sagital pela constante 0,52. Regre...
