Disease relevance of Fetal Monitoring

• Thus, in diabetic pregnancies with a well-regulated blood glucose, intervention due to abnormal fetal monitoring is more associated with acute pregnancy complications than the diabetes per se [1].

High impact information on Fetal Monitoring

• Plasma nicotine was measured at baseline and repeated at times of fetal monitoring [2].
• In this article, we report on the use of polyclonal antibodies against the chicken myogenic regulatory factor proteins MyoD and myogenin for monitoring fetal and adult chicken myoblasts as they progress from proliferation to differentiation in culture [3].
• Owing to its simplicity of performance, lactate analysis is an attractive alternative for intrapartum fetal monitoring [4].
• Fetal monitoring with adenosine administration [5].
• Since no prior processing or extraction of the clinical samples is necessary, the method is potentially applicable for routine use in fetal monitoring as well as in a steroid laboratory [6].

Biological context of Fetal Monitoring

• Second-trimester fetal monitoring and preterm delivery in pregnancies with systemic lupus erythematosus and/or circulating anticoagulant [7].
• Maternal blood glucose level was monitored and controlled utilizing an artificial pancreas (Biostator) while fetal activity and heart rate were quantitated by continuous ultrasonic and electrocardiac fetal monitoring [8].

Anatomical context of Fetal Monitoring

• Creatine kinase isoenzyme analysis was performed on the cord blood of 125 infants who had undergone at least 30 minutes of intrapartum electronic fetal monitoring [9].

Associations of Fetal Monitoring with chemical compounds

• Scalp blood lactate: a new test strip method for monitoring fetal wellbeing in labour [10].
• The results show that fetal monitoring by maternal oestriol determinations is not reliable during intravenous beta-adrenoceptor agonist therapy [11].
• A 5-year experience of the effects of fetal monitoring at the University of Utah College of Medicine (1971-1975) are reported [12].
• Prophylactic cefazolin was evaluated in high-risk obstetric patients who had invasive fetal monitoring and subsequent cesarean section [13].
• This study utilized internal fetal monitoring and an on-line voltage control oscillator for measurement of uterine activity unit (UAU) determination in patients who received a paracervical block (PCB) with the use of bupivacaine hydrochloride (Marcaine) [14].

Gene context of Fetal Monitoring

• Human placenta as a 'dual' biomarker for monitoring fetal and maternal environment with special reference to potentially toxic trace elements. Part 2: essential minor, trace and other (non-essential) elements in human placenta [15].
• Statistical methods for fetal monitoring with alpha-fetoprotein in maternal serum [16].
• Fetal monitoring by combined CTG and FBA [17].
• 3. Women in a very low risk category (one low-transverse PCS) should be managed like any laboring patient but including fetal monitoring [18].
• The Cochrane Data Base (www.cochranelibrary. com/clibhome/clib.htm, retrieved February 23, 2001), a comprehensive international review of current medical and obstetric practices, demonstrates that birth outcomes improve with one-to-one labor support but not necessarily with continuous fetal monitoring [19].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Fetal Monitoring

• Fetal pulse oximetry, fetal electrocardiogram waveform analysis and the intermittent measurement of lactate levels by fetal blood sampling may become established as an adjunct to electronic fetal monitoring [20].
• Antepartum fetal monitoring (nonstress test [NST] and contraction stress test [CST]) in the presence of significant fetal anemia is of limited diagnostic value [21].
