Is screening for renal anomalies warranted in neonates with isolated single umbilical artery?

abstract：BACKGROUND:We hypothesized that color Doppler-measured cerebral blood flow velocity (CD-CBFV) as measured in the three feeding arteries of the brain can be used as an estimator of global cerebral blood flow. PATIENTS AND METHODS:CD-CBFV was determined as soon as possible after determination of phase-contrast magnetic ...
