Abstract:BackgroundDuring pregnancy, exchanges between mother and fetus are provided by the placenta. Defects in the early stages of placentation prevent the creation of a high-flow, low-resistance circle resulting in an impaired maternal-fetal exchange. The development of aberrant microcirculation leads to placental abnormalities, detectable by placental histologic examination [1].ObjectivesTo assess whether nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC), in combination with umbilical artery doppler ultrasound (UA-dU), can detect… Show more
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.
