Objective Cerebrovascular complications that are associated with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (preeclampsia, chronic hypertension [CHTN], and gestational hypertension [GHTN]) are believed to be associated with impaired cerebral autoregulation, which is…
Materials and Methods The population-based case-control study providing the data for this report was designed to investigate factors associated with risk of CP, defined as a disorder of movement and/or…
Objective The purpose of this study was to compare the performance of first-trimester nuchal translucency (NT) cutoff of ≥3.5 mm with NT percentiles that were calculated for crown-rump length to…
