Be sure to know more about Hypoplastic Left Heart Disorder (HLHS)


At the point when a child is determined to have basic aortic stenosis that is in danger for advancing to hypoplastic left heart disorder (HLHS) in utero. Hypoplastic left heart disorder (HLHS) is an intricate and uncommon heart imperfection present during childbirth in which the left half of a tyke's heart is seriously immature.

The doctors can play out a method called fetal aortic valvuloplasty.

The method utilizes a needle and a minor inflatable to develop the tight aortic valve to build blood course through the left half of the fetal heart, which will prompt improved left heart work and advance typical left-sided heart development.

On the off chance that untreated, basic aortic stenosis and HLHS can be deadly. By playing out this system before birth, it can advance improved development of the left-sided heart structures and lead to less medical procedures after birth.

Atrial septal stenting:

At the point when a baby has hypoplastic left heart disorder (HLHS) with a prohibitive or unblemished atrial septum, the doctors can play out this fetal method to diminish the high mortality related with this mix of injuries.

In this method, the chamber septum is additionally opened with stents, which decompresses and permits blood from the lungs and left upper heart chamber (left chamber) to stream back to the correct side of the heart.

This counteracts harm to the baby's lungs, diminishes weight in the left chamber and enables the fetal lungs to grow regularly.

Just 50 percent of children with HLHS with unblemished atrial septum get by to return home after birth. This fetal technique offers any expectation of limiting the danger or conceivably tiring condition influencing the baby, serving to both encourage safe conveyance and possibly improving long haul results of the tyke.

These intercessions were impractical 20 years prior. The researchers are proceeding to break new hindrances with fetal heart intercessions.

Understand Maternal Obesity Before You Regret.

Understand Maternal Obesity Before You Regret. Obesity is the root cause of many diseases and it is the major health issue for the public. It has been linked to several health problems such as cancer , heart diseases , hypertension,  etc. It also has an adverse effect during pregnancy as it can cause complications in pregnancy by increasing the mother's risk of having gestational diabetes , preterm birth , preeclampsia or baby with birth defects.  Maternal obesity is related to many severe outcomes for the infant , which can persist into adulthood such as heart disease, mortality and type-2 diabetes . Maternal obesity also compromises the  immune system of babies. Researches have proven that pre-pregnancy maternal weight plays a significant role in the neonate's immune system. The immune system of the babies born to obese mothers gets comprised very early in baby’s life. The researchers analyzed the umbilical cord blood sample of babies born t...

Gestation Alters Maternal Gut Microbiota

Gestation Alters Maternal Gut Microbiota Millions of bacteria are living inside and on our body weighing around four pounds of our body weight. These bacteria are very useful and important in health and in fighting disease. These microbiomes are altered during gestation . It was seen that during pregnancy microbiomes are responsible for partial weight gain and some essential inflammatory responses . But the mechanism responsible for such changes is still unknown. Several studies have been done to see the changes in bacteria with progression in pregnancy . Recently in one of the studies, it was found that during pregnancy progesterone regulates the microbial composition of bacteria in such a way that may help the baby develop. It was found that as the pregnancy progressed there was a dramatic change in the composition of bacteria mostly during late pregnancy along with the increase in the relative abundance of Bifidobacterium . These bacteria metabolize the...
