The intestinal epithelium is the first physiological barrier breached by the Gram-positive
facultative pathogen Listeria monocytogenes during an in vivo infection. Listeria monocytogenes …

Background: Multifetal pregnancies are considered high-risk pregnancies compared to
singleton pregnancies. Monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twin pregnancies tend to have a more …

Objective The purpose of this study was to establish an Indian reference for normal fetal nasal
bone length at 16–26 weeks of gestation. Methods The fetal nasal bone was measured by …

Intracellular pathogens alter their host cells' mechanics to promote dissemination through
tissues. Conversely, host cells may respond to the presence of pathogens by altering their …

To combat infectious diseases, it is important to understand how host cells interact with
bacterial pathogens. Signals conveyed from pathogen to host, and vice versa, may be either …

Mechanical forces are important in (patho)physiological processes, including how host
epithelial cells interact with intracellular bacterial pathogens. As these pathogens disseminate …

Multiple studies have demonstrated that obtaining standardized fetal brain biometry from
mid-trimester ultrasonography (USG) examination is key for the reliable assessment of fetal …

Ultrasound is now an established tool in the clinical management of pregnancy. Consequent
to its major role in clinical decision-making and its remarkable operator dependence, it is …

Introduction: Peak systolic velocity (PSV) of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) shows 100%
sensitivity for predicting fetal anemia before the first intrauterine transfusion (IUT). However, its …
