The aim of this study was to evaluate AC and DC of fHR [recorded by trans-abdominal fetal electrocardiogram (ta-fECG)] in relation to Doppler velocimetry characteristics of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DESIGN: &lt;/b&gt;Prospective case-control study.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;SETTING: &lt;/b&gt;Single third referral centre.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;POPULATION: &lt;/b&gt;IUGR (n = 66) between 25 and 40 gestational weeks and uncomplicated pregnancies (n = 79).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;In IUGR the nearest ta-fECG monitoring to delivery was used for PRSA analysis and Doppler velocimetry parameters obtained within 48 hours. AC and DC were computed at s = T = 9. The relation was evaluated between either AC or DC and Doppler velocimetry parameters adjusting for gestational age at monitoring, as well as the association between either AC or DC and IUGR with or without brain sparing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;In IUGRs there was a significant association between either AC and DC and middle cerebral artery pulsatility index (PI; P = 0.01; P = 0.005), but the same was not true for uterine or umbilical artery PI (P &gt; 0.05). Both IUGR fetuses with and without brain sparing had lower AC and DC than controls, but this association was stronger for IUGRs with brain sparing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Our study observed for the first time that AC and DC at PRSA analysis are associated with middle cerebral artery PI, but not with uterine or umbilical artery PI, and that there is a significant decrease of AC and DC in association with brain sparing in IUGR fetuses from 25 weeks of gestation to term.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;TWEETABLE ABSTRACT: &lt;/b&gt;Brain sparing in IUGR fetuses is associated with decreased acceleration and deceleration capacities of the heart.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26395895?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Floridia, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tamburrini, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anzidei, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tibaldi, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Muggiasca, M L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guaraldi, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fiscon, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vimercati, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martinelli, P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Donisi, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dalzero, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ravizza, M</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Italian Group on Surveillance on Antiretroviral Treatment in Pregnancy</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Declining HCV seroprevalence in pregnant women with HIV.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Epidemiol Infect</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Epidemiol.

Based on 1240 pregnancies, we observed a 3.4-fold decline in HCV seroprevalence in pregnant women with HIV between 2001 (29.3%) and 2008 (8.6%). This decline was the net result of two components: a progressively declining HCV seroprevalence in non-African women (from 35.7% in 2001 to 16.7% in 2008), sustained by a parallel reduction in history of injecting drug use (IDU) in this population, and a significantly growing presence (from 21.2% in 2001 to 48.6% in 2008) of women of African origin, at very low risk of being HCV-infected [average HCV prevalence 1%, adjusted odds ratio (aOR) for HCV 0.09, 95% CI 0.03-0.29]. Previous IDU was the stronger determinant of HCV co-infection in pregnant women with HIV (aOR 30.9, 95% CI 18.8-51.1). The observed trend is expected to translate into a reduced number of cases of vertical HCV transmission.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20096149?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
