Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a complex disease, being one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide. As a consequence, pregnancy-associated diabetes is increasingly common. Given the numerous studies about the influence of diabetes on offspring of diabetic rat dams, the neurological outcome is of outmost importance. This paper aimed at evaluating the neurofunctional performance of young male offspring of rat dams with diabetes induced by streptozotocin. Diabetes was induced in Wistar female rats by streptozotocin administration, while control groups received vehicle injection. At two-month survival period, male offspring from each group were randomized to the water maze Morris test, in order to assess their neurofunctional status. There was no significant difference between the groups as assessed by the Morris water maze test for spatial reference task. Our results point to the need of further investigation on the offspring neurofunctional performance.
Poster abstracts was also present. The thired patient was reffered at 15 weeks. Fetus had normal face and head, but also marked pipelike scoliosis, short limbs and malformed lower extremities, ventral defect which included liver and bowels. It was not possible to confirm the presence of fetal kidneys, and also olygohidramnion was present. The short umbilical cord was also present. The fourth and most complex case was referred to our office at 20 weeks as twin pregnancy with one anomalous fetus. The anomalous monochorionic twin was acardiac, associated with holoprosencephaly, cystic hygroma, facial edema, marked scoliosis, gastroschisis. This twin had short ubmilical cord. 3D surface and 3D maximum rendering showed conjoined upper and lower extremities in one stalk for upper and one for lower limbs. This pregnancy was continuted until 33 weeks and delivered by cesarean section due to premature rupture of membranes. Fetal kariotyping in all cases showed normal kariotype. Conclusions: 3D and 3D multislice ultrasound gave significant information about types of anomalies in FBSA. Analysis of the fetuses in different 3D modes and in 3D multislice technique had important role in establishing the diagnosis of fetal body stalk anomaly.
Ultraschnelle Spinsonde: Photoangeregtes [Fe(bpy)3]2+ (bpy=2,2′‐Bipyridin) zeigt kurzlebige Strukturänderungen, die einer Anregung in einen High‐Spin‐Zustand entsprechen. In diesem Zustand wurde der Spin von FeII durch spinsensitive ultraschnelle Röntgenemissionsspektroskopie mit harter Röntgenstrahlung zu S=2 bestimmt.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
