Do the Levels of Maternal Plasma Trace Elements Affect Fetal Nuchal Translucency Thickness?
Maternal plasma K levels during the first trimester appeared to be associated with NT thickness. The essential elements tended to decrease NT thickness, and non-essential elements tended to increase it.
Anterior movement of the dorsalis pedis artery during dorsiflexion increases the AWA for anterior arthroscopy. Increasing the AWA with maximal dorsiflexion may prove to be a valuable method for lowering the risk of iatrogenic DPA damage. Additionally, increased AWA may allow the use of larger diameter surgical instruments allowing greater control and a reduction in operation time.
