As a general rule, this vowel almost always acts as a joint-stem to connect two consonantal roots (e.g. arthr-+ -o-+ -logy = arthrology), but generally, the -o-is dropped when connecting to a vowel-stem (e.g. arthr-+ -itis = arthritis, instead of arthr-o-itis). Second, medical roots generally go together according to language, i.e., Greek ...
Cerebroplacental ratio is a tool used in obstetric ultrasound to predict adverse pregnancy outcome. [1] It is measured by dividing the pulsatility index of the middle cerebral artery of the foetus by the pulsatility index of the umbilical artery of the foetus. A cerebroplacental ratio lower than 1-1.1 in uncomplicated pregnancies is indicative ...

The pregnancy category of a medication is an assessment of the risk of fetal injury due to the pharmaceutical, if it is used as directed by the mother during pregnancy. It does not include any risks conferred by pharmaceutical agents or their metabolites in breast milk .
CSF pressure, as measured by lumbar puncture, is 10–18 cmH 2 O (8–15 mmHg or 1.1–2 kPa) with the patient lying on the side and 20–30 cmH 2 O (16–24 mmHg or 2.1–3.2 kPa) with the patient sitting up. [30] In newborns, CSF pressure ranges from 8 to 10 cmH 2 O (4.4–7.3 mmHg or 0.78–0.98 kPa).
Pregnant females were studied using a 2-plex massively parallel maternal plasma DNA sequencing and trisomy was diagnosed with z-score greater than 3. [34] The sequencing gave sensitivity of 100 percent, specificity of 97.9 percent, a positive predictive value of 96.6 percent and a negative predictive value of 100 percent.
In obstetrics, a cephalic presentation or head presentation or head-first presentation is a situation at childbirth where the fetus is in a longitudinal lie and the head enters the pelvis first; the most common form of cephalic presentation is the vertex presentation, where the occiput is the leading part (the part that first enters the birth canal).
