“…Garcia-Flores J et al [30] evaluated the value of fetal liver biometry to predict birth weight in gestational diabetes using 3D-US between 32 and 34 weeks and all data were stored for postacquisition processing with a specific software. All the hepatic diameters, area and sectional volume demonstrated significant association with birth weight.…”

Background: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a condition in which the fetus does not reach its growth potential. It is well known that a fetus affected with late IUGR has smaller abdominal size. The aim of the study is to evaluate the fetal liver size, fetal hepatic artery blood flow and other fetal vascular Doppler indices in cases of late IUGR. Methods: This observational analytical, cross-sectional study was carried out on 100 pregnant women at or above 32 weeks. Participants were divided into two groups: Group 1 (study group): 50 pregnant women as study group who were affected with IUGR. Group 2 (control group): 50 normally pregnant women as control group. Results: There was no statistically significant correlation between fetal weight and liver length. There was a positive highly statistically significant correlation between symphysial fundal height and the estimated fetal weight by ultrasound in cases of IUGR. There was a statistically significant decrease in the liver size in IUGR compared to the normal group. There was a statistically significant reduced hepatic arterial Doppler indices. Conclusions: Reduced liver size and hepatic arterial Doppler indices (PI, RI) can be valid diagnostic methods in IUGR. SFH, in fetuses suffering from IUGR when compared to normal cases, was correlated with EFW.

“…Because the degree of cord leptin is positively correlated with maternal leptin levels [ 18 , 23 , 36 , 43 ], and representative of fetal growth and newborn weight, adiposity, and BMI during pregnancy [ 17 , 18 , 23 , 26 , 36 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 ], the levels of cord leptin (approximately 15 ± 16 ng/mL; [ 23 ]) are considered to be a key predictor of childhood cardiovascular and metabolic state. Cord leptin levels can be linked with birth weight of neonates from women with gestational obesity and/or diabetes mellitus as well [ 36 , 47 , 48 ]. Together, the degree of leptin concentration in the maternal serum and cord blood could be an indicator for neonate birth weight and adiposity.…”

Leptin links peripheral adiposity and the central nervous system (CNS) to regulate cardiometabolic physiology. Within the CNS, leptin receptor-expressing cells are a counterpart to circulating leptin, and leptin receptor-mediated neural networks modulate the output of neuroendocrine and sympathetic nervous activity to balance cardiometabolic homeostasis. Therefore, disrupted CNS leptin signaling is directly implicated in the development of metabolic diseases, such as hypertension, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. Independently, maternal leptin also plays a central role in the development and growth of the infant during gestation. Accumulating evidence points to the dynamic maternal leptin environment as a predictor of cardiometabolic fate in their offspring as it is directly associated with infant metabolic parameters at birth. In postnatal life, the degree of serum leptin is representative of the level of body adiposity/weight, a driving factor for cardiometabolic alterations, and therefore, the levels of blood leptin through the CNS mechanism, in a large part, are a strong determinant for future cardiometabolic fate. The current review focuses on highlighting and discussing recent updates for temporal dissection of leptin-associated programing of future cardiometabolic fate throughout the entire life.

Birth defects and their associated deaths, high health and financial costs of maternal care and associated morbidity are major contributors to infant mortality. If permitted by law, prenatal diagnosis allows for intrauterine care, more complicated hospital deliveries, and termination of pregnancy. During pregnancy, a set of measurements is commonly used to monitor the fetal health, including fetal head circumference, crown‐rump length, abdominal circumference, and femur length. Because of the intricate interactions between the biological tissues and the US waves mother and fetus, analyzing fetal US images from a specialized perspective is difficult. Artifacts include acoustic shadows, speckle noise, motion blur, and missing borders. The fetus moves quickly, body structures close, and the weeks of pregnancy vary greatly. In this work, we propose a fetal growth analysis through US image of head circumference biometry using optimal segmentation and hybrid classifier. First, we introduce a hybrid whale with oppositional fruit fly optimization (WOFF) algorithm for optimal segmentation of segment fetal head which improves the detection accuracy. Next, an improved U‐Net design is utilized for the hidden feature (head circumference biometry) extraction which extracts features from the segmented extraction. Then, we design a modified Boosting arithmetic optimization (MBAO) algorithm for feature optimization to selects optimal best features among multiple features for the reduction of data dimensionality issues. Furthermore, a hybrid deep learning technique called bi‐directional LSTM with convolutional neural network (B‐LSTM‐CNN) for fetal growth analysis to compute the fetus growth and health. Finally, we validate our proposed method through the open benchmark datasets are HC18 (Ultrasound image) and oxford university research archive (ORA‐data) (Ultrasound video frames). We compared the simulation results of our proposed algorithm with the existing state‐of‐art techniques in terms of various metrics.
