Does noninvasive monitoring of fetal heart rate during the last ten days of gestation in sow?
Noninvasive monitoring of FHR is possible and feasible during late gestation in pigs. This method permits longitudinal studies under pathophysiologic conditions and the evaluation of the effects of endogenous and exogenous influences on porcine FHR.
In a cohort of male patients undergoing coronary angiography, a single baseline determination of plasma TIMP-1 is independently predictive of the subsequent risk of death and MI.
