      Wagle, Madhu; D'Antonio, Francesco; Reierth, Eirik; Basnet, Purusotam; Trovik, Tordis A; Orsini, Giovanna; Manzoli, Lamberto; Acharya, Ganesh (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-02)
      Objectives:<br> The primary objective of this systematic review was to evaluate the association between dental caries and preterm birth (PTB). The secondary objective was ascertaining the difference between women with dental caries who experienced PTB and those who did not with regard to decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT), and decayed, missing and filled surfaces (DMFS) indices. <br>M ...

      Baiju, Nikita; Acharya, Ganesh; D'Antonio, Francesco; Berg, Rigmor (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-08-31)
      <i>Background</i> - For many women, the need for multiple clinical visits is a barrier to medical abortion.<p> <p><i>Objectives</i> - We assessed the effectiveness, safety, and acceptability of self‐assessment of the outcome of medical abortion completed at home versus routine clinic follow up after medical abortion.<p> <p><i>Search strategy</i> - We searched databases such as MEDLINE, Embase, ...
    • Maternal functional hemodynamics in the second half of pregnancy: A longitudinal study 

      Vårtun, Åse; Flo, Kari; Wilsgaard, Tom; Acharya, Ganesh (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-08-10)
      Objective: Cardiovascular response to passive leg raising (PLR) is useful in assessing preload reserve, but it has not been studied longitudinally during pregnancy. We aimed to investigate gestational age associated serial changes in maternal functional hemodynamics and establish longitudinal reference ranges for the second half of pregnancy. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective ...

      <i>Introduction</i> - Cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) and umbilicocerebral ratio (UCR) are clinically used as a measure of fetal brain sparing. These are calculated as the ratios between the pulsatility indices (PIs) of middle cerebral (MCA) and umbilical (UA) arteries, and are an indirect representation of the balance between cerebral and placental perfusion. Volume blood flow (Q)‐based ratios, ie ...
