High-resolution imaging of the human placenta provides new insights into blood circulation patterns that are crucial for fetal development, according to a study publishing May, 28 2020 in the open ...

Placental insufficiency is linked to blood flow problems. While maternal blood and vascular disorders can trigger it, medications and lifestyle habits are also possible triggers. The most common ...

ARTICLE: Liu, D. Human placenta blood flow during early gestation with pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling MRI. TITLE. Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging. 2019. DOI: 10.1002/jmri.26944.

Because the placenta is located far below the body's surface, one of the key technical challenges addressed by Wang, a postdoc in Yodh's lab, was reducing background noise in the opto-electronic ...

The image shows the longitudinal UFF-PAM placenta on day 8, day 10, day 12, and day 15. Blood vessels diameter and density increased by more than 200% over this period. DURHAM, N.C. -- Physicians ...

By computationally replicating realistic placenta blood flow, Noelia Grande Gutiérrez of Carnegie Mellon University's Department of Mechanical Engineering is addressing this lack of data.

The study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Pathology, found that 12 of the women, or 80%, had a type of injury that can impair blood flow from the mother to the fetus called vascular ...

Aspirin improves blood flow to the placenta. As a result it can help with preeclampsia and antiphospholipid syndrome — two conditions that can affect the health of a pregnancy.
