Evaluation of the total lung profile, including the two-dimensional L/S ratio for the establishment of fetal lung maturation.

Abstract:

:Recently some articles have been published in which the total lung profile has been introduced to determine the fetal lung maturation. In the present study the two-dimensional L/S ratio and the total lung profile, especially the phosphatidyl-glycerol content, are compared with the conventional one-dimensional L/S ratio. The predictive value of each parameter in repect of its significance as an index of the occurrence of neonatal respiratory distress was studied and a mutual comparison is drawn between the respective indices of prenatal lung maturation. It is concluded that the two-dimensional L/S ratio and the total lung profile are promising new tools to estimate the fetal lung maturity.

  • Intraoperative Ultrasound during Fertility-Sparing Surgery: A Systematic Review and Practical Applications.

    abstract::Fertility-sparing surgery (FSS) is an established concept within operative gynaecology. Intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) has the potential of assessing lesion margins, allowing complete resection with minimal damage to the surrounding healthy tissue and could potentially play a major role in FSS for benign or malignan...
