Does prenatal magnetic resonance imaging demonstrate linear growth of the human fetal kidneys during gestation?
This prenatal magnetic resonance imaging study demonstrates linear growth of the bipolar and anteroposterior diameters of human fetal kidneys in relation to gestational age. In addition, it is clear that bipolar diameter grows twice as rapidly as anteroposterior diameter and there is less variability for bipolar diameter. These normative curves may allow us to detect abnormal fetal evolution.
A brief wakeful response to a command of opening the eyes or squeezing the hand was not associated with increased memory formation during surgery. A brief wakeful response to command was found during surgery when patients received fentanyl 4 micrograms/kg; but it was rarely found at fentanyl dosages of 2 micrograms/kg or less.
