Since the sensitivity of US is as high as that of PET, MR imaging, and the combination of three modalities, it remains the method of choice for diagnosis and assessment of asymptomatic adnexal masses.
Absent or reversed end-diastolic flow velocity is not only associated with a higher mortality and morbidity during the neonatal period, but the surviving infants of this high risk group have an increased risk for mental retardation and severe motor impairment as compared with appropriate for gestational age preterm infants of the same gestational age.
We can confirm the presence of an inverse correlation between MCA PSV measurements and hemoglobin values in fetuses at risk for anemia due to maternal blood group alloimmunization and fetal parvovirus B19 infection. The MCA PSV is a reliable method for the prediction of anemia not only in fetuses before the first intrauterine transfusion, but also in those which have undergone one or more transfusions, with good sensitivity and specificity in both groups of fetuses at risk.
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.
