Esta obra es el compendio y la culminación de 35 años de trabajo del equipo del herbario de la Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes (1980-2020) con el proyecto “Flora del Estado de Aguascalientes”, encabezado por la maestra Margarita de la Cerda Lemus. Desde principios de la década de los ochenta se inició este proyecto, primero con un enfoque general para generar un conocimiento global de la flora, y posteriormente por familias o grupos particulares de plantas. Han participado en él más de 30 colaboradores, incluyendo profesores, alumnos con tesis y tesinas, y botánicos de otras instituciones como el INEGI (Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía). El proyecto de “Inventario Florístico de familias selectas de Dicotiledóneas del Estado de Aguascalientes” fue apoyado por la CONABIO (Comisión Nacional para el conocimiento y uso de la Biodiversidad) mediante el convenio JF140, y permitió alcanzar la meta de completar en una buena proporción nuestra flora dicotiledónea y su posterior publicación. Se describen 102 familias, 548 géneros y 1 340 especies de todos los municipios del estado, recolectados durante 35 años de trabajo y ordenados en orden alfabético de familias, géneros y especies.
Objectives: 1) To assess the accuracy of fetal echocardiography in multiple pregnancy, and 2) To evaluate the type of congenital heart disease (CHD) and of extracardiac anomalies detected in 36 cases of multiple pregnancy. Method : We analysed a population of 248 pregnancies (546 fetuses, 39 with CHD). Diagnostic accuracy was calculated for fetal echocardiography. In fetuses with CHD, the following variables were analysed: chorionicity, gestational age at diagnosis, type of CHD, associated chromosomal and extracardiac abnormalities, fetoneonatal outcome. Results: In this series, sensitivity was 88.8%, specificity 99.8%, PPV 97.1% and NPV 99.1%. There were 4 FP and 1 FN cases. The association with aneuploidy was 9.3% (3/32). The spectrum of CHD was similar to that seen in singleton during the same period of time. Of note, that 8/32 (25.0%) fetuses with CHD were recipients from monochorionic pregnancies complicated by TTTS. As for the outcome, 21 (65.6%) neonates survived and 11 (34.4%) died prior to (9) or after surgery (2). Conclusions: Fetal echocardiography is clearly feasible also in multiple pregnancy without particular difficulties, at least for twins. In triplets and quadruplets, fetal crowding makes things a great deal more difficult. The association with aneuploidy is lower than expected, possibly due to the low incidence of extracardiac anomalies in this series and to the relatively small number of cases. As to the outcome, low birthweight coupled with CHD seem to be an important bad prognostic indicator, be it for growth restriction or simply prematurity.
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.
