“…However in the present study correlation coefficient between FFL1 and gestational age (r = 0.828, p < 0.0001) and between FFL1 and femur length (r = 0.915, p < 0.0001) was found. The variation in values in our study was lower or higher due to significant racial and socioeconomic differences between individuals of the present study and that of previous studies such as the comparison between the values of FFL1 of present study with previous studies done by Pandey V D et al [14], Rajesh Bardale et al [15], Shripad Hebbar et al [8], Andrzej et al [13] and Joshi et al [7].…”

“…In the present study FFL1 showed good correlation with gestational age with correlation coefficient 0.828 with p < 0.0001, FFL2 showed good correlation with gestational age with correlation coefficient 0.817 with p < 0.0001, and FFW showed good correlation with gestational age with correlation coefficient 0.720 with p < 0.0001. Pandey V D et al [14] in 2015 conducted their study in 100 pregnant women between 15 to 36 weeks of gestation in 2nd and 3rd trimesters , their study is a comprehensive study in North India demonstrated a strong correlation on comparison of linear regression of foot length versus gestational age with correlation coefficient (r = 0.960, p < 0.001) which is comparatively much higher than the FFL1 in the present study has showing correlation coefficient (r = 0.828, p < 0.001). Although both studies were consistent, with the mean foot length (17.5 ± 1.29) in 15 weeks and mean sonographic foot length at 36 weeks of gestation (64.4 ± 3.28) which was closely related to the present study in which the mean FFL1 was.…”

Objectives: this research was conducted to describe the ultrasonic measurements of the foot full measurements (FFM) and their importance in the antenatal care (ANC). Material and methods: the Descriptive quantitative cross-sectional study conducted in the ultrasound department at Alshaekh Mohammed Ali Fadol hospital in Omdurman locality. The study included 400 healthy Sudanese pregnant women whom in the 1st (late), 2nd and 3rd trimesters (i.e., after 10 weeks gestational age) of different parity and ages (15 years old and above); they have regular menstrual cycle and well certain of their last menstrual period and calculated date of delivery. Ultrasonographic measurement of Full Foot Length1 (FFL1), Foot Full Length2 (FFL2), and Foot Full Width (FFW) of all pregnant women were done. Sonographically we measured fetal foot from 14 to 40 weeks of gestation. Results: the study revealed that the mean FFL1 was 58.7 ± 12.9 mm. The minimum measurement was 18.8 mm, and the maximum was 89.1 mm, while the mean value of FFL2 was 53.4 ± 11.4 mm, with minimum value 17.5 mm and maximum 81.7 mm, and the mean FFW was 23.7 ± 5.1 mm, with minimum value 7.0 mm and maximum 38.0 mm. Conclusion: a strongly significant relationships were observed between (FFL1, FFL2, FFW) and gestational age (p = 0.00). However there is no significant difference between the FFL1, FFL2, and correlations with sex of embryo, residence, occupation, parity, maternal height, socioeconomic status, bleeding during this pregnancy, chronic illness, and caesarian section, moreover there are significant correlations between the FFL1, FFL2 and the (maternal age, maHow to cite this paper:

“…Ethical Clearance was obtained from the University's Biomedical Research Ethics Committee (No: BE 390/15). Gestational ages (12 to 20 weeks) were determined as per Pandey et al (2016) method. All specimens were bilaterally micro-dissected to expose the vascular supply of the suprarenal glands utilizing a standard Carl Zeiss Stemi DV4 stereo-microscope.…”

Anatomical Investigation of the Vascular Supply of the Suprarenal Glands in Fetuses

The suprarenal glands are bilaterally supplied by three suprarenal arteries and drained by a single suprarenal vein. Variable vascular origins of the fetal suprarenal gland have been documented in different population groups viz. Indian, Polish and Argentinian. However, there is lack of a detailed description regarding the course, relations, number of branches and vertebral levels of the origins of the vasculature of the suprarenal glands in fetuses. This study aimed to identify and document the vascular supply of the suprarenal glands in fetuses in a South African setting. Fifty fetal specimens (26 males; 24 females) with a gestational age ranging between 12 and 20 weeks, were bilaterally micro-dissected (n=100) using a Zeiss Stemi DV4 microscope. Data was recorded and the frequencies of the origin, course, relations, number of branches and vertebral levels of the suprarenal vascular supply were determined. Arterial supply: Origin: (i) The superior suprarenal artery (SSA) bilaterally arose from the inferior phrenic arteries in 98 % of the fetuses; (ii) the middle suprarenal artery (MSA) frequently arose from the renal artery (RA) on the right side (46 %) and the abdominal aorta on the left side (34 %); while (iii) the inferior suprarenal artery (ISA) predominantly arose from the RA in 91 % of the specimens, bilaterally. Course and relations: The suprarenal arteries followed a superior, inferior, lateral, supero-lateral and infero-lateral course to the gland. These arteries were closely related to the crura of the diaphragm, the inferior vena cava, the left inferior phrenic vein and the pancreas. Number of branches: The branches ranged from one to seven for the SSA, one to four for the MSA and one to three for the ISA. Vertebral levels: The SSA predominantly arose from the first lumbar (L1) vertebral body (32 %), the MSA arose from the middle third of the intervertebral disc between the L1 and the second lumbar (L2) vertebrae (19 %) and the ISA arose from the L2 vertebral body (28 %). Venous drainage: In 1 % of the specimens, an additional right suprarenal vein (ARSV) was observed. This ARSV followed a superomedial course into the inferior vena cava, just below the entrance of the main right suprarenal vein. The arteries supplying the suprarenal gland presented varying origins and number of branches, corroborating with the reviewed literature and standard anatomical textbooks. The findings of this study may aid pediatric surgeons in understanding the vascular morphology (and the variations thereof) of the suprarenal gland, when performing adrenelectomy surgery in neonates.

“…Gestational age was estimated using the formula y = 7.130 + 0.503x, where y = gestational age in weeks and x = fetal foot length in mm (Pandey et al, 2015). The length and external diameter of the proximal RCA and LCA was measured with the length of the RCA measured from its origin to its first branch.…”

SINGH, S.; AJAYI, N.; LAZARUS, L. & SATYAPAL, K. S.Morphologic relationship between the coronary arteries during fetal development. Int. J. Morphol., 35(4):1197Morphol., 35(4): -1202Morphol., 35(4): , 2017. SUMMARY:A detailed understanding of the coronary arteries is of paramount importance in the management of coronary arterial diseases. The arterial supply to the heart originates from right (RCA) and left (LCA) coronary arteries which form an oblique inverted crown within the atrioventricular groove. This study aimed to document the embryologic relationship between the RCA and the LCA including their lengths, diameters, branching patterns and arterial dominance in fetuses. Forty-one human fetal heart specimens with an age range of 13.13 to 26.95 weeks were dissected at the Department of Clinical Anatomy, University of Kwazulu-Natal, Durban, South Africa. The RCA arose from the right aortic sinus and was dominant in all the specimens. The LCA was classified into types according to their branching pattern. The bifurcation, trifurcation and quadrifurcation of the LCA occurred in 68.3 %, 29.3 % and 2.4 % of hearts, respectively. The mean lengths of the RCA and LCA were 0.98±0.54 mm and 1.83±0.77 mm, respectively. The mean external diameters of the RCA and LCA were 0.38±0.12 mm and 0.49±0.17 mm, respectively. There was a significant correlation between the RCA and LCA length and the fetal age which is indicative of significant changes in the coronary vasculature with fetal growth.
