How to define a normal or abnormal nuchal translucency measurement can be difficult. The use of a single millimeter cutoff (such as 2.5 or 3.0 mm) is inappropriate because nuchal translucency measurements normally increases with gestational age (by approximately 15% to 20% per gestational week from 10 to 13 weeks).

The French scale measures and is proportional to the outer diameter of a catheter, with 1 French (Fr) defined as 1 ⁄ 3 millimeter, making the relationship: 1 mm = 3 Fr. Thus, the outer diameter of a catheter in millimeters can be calculated by dividing the French size by 3. [ 2 ]
In electrical engineering, characteristics like current or voltage can be measured by an ammeter, a voltmeter, a multimeter, etc.The ammeter is used in series with the load, so the same current flows through the load and the ammeter.
Uses ultrasound to measure nuchal translucency in addition to blood tests for free or total beta-hCG and PAPP-A: Quad screen: 15–20 wks 81% 5% Measures the maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein, unconjugated estriol, hCG, and inhibin-A Integrated test 15–20 wks 94–96% 5% Is a combination of the quad screen, PAPP-A, and NT Cell-free fetal DNA
The basic module (M) is a unit of distance equal to one hundred millimetres (100 mm). The myriametre (mym) is a unit of distance equal to ten kilometres (10 km). The hebdometre is a unit of distance equal to ten megametres (10 Mm). The spat (S) is a unit of distance equal to one terametre (1 Tm).
In addition to regular prenatal care, prenatal aneuploidy screening based on maternal age, nuchal translucency scan and biomarkers is appropriate. However, biomarkers seem to be altered for pregnancies resulting from ICSI, causing a higher false-positive rate.
The aim of an accurate intraocular lens power calculation is to provide an intraocular lens (IOL) that fits the specific needs and desires of the individual patient. The development of better instrumentation for measuring the eye's axial length (AL) and the use of more precise mathematical formulas to perform the appropriate calculations have significantly improved the accuracy with which the ...
Absence of the portal system in a first trimester case associated with hygroma and aorto-umbilical fistula. (A): Transverse plane of the upper abdomen with color Doppler applied, showing umbilical cord insertion, stomach, the prominent hepatic artery and no afferent liver venous perfusion; (B): midsagittal plane reconstructed from a three-dimensional volume acquisition were the crown-rump ...
