Pain associated with chorionic villus sampling: transabdominal vs transcervical approach.

13 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare anticipated and perceived pain that is associated with transabdominal and transcervical chorionic villus sampling (CVS). STUDY DESIGN: Women with singleton pregnancies who were undergoing CVS ... Read more...

The association between chorionic villus sampling and preeclampsia.

30 Jul 2009 OBJECTIVE: To determine whether an association exists between prenatal diagnostic procedures and preeclampsia. METHODS: All women who underwent invasive prenatal diagnosis and were not at high risk for preeclampsia were identified during a 15-month ... Read more...

[Molecular biology usefulness for rapid diagnosis of Down's syndrome and common aneuploidies]

29 Jun 2009 OBJECTIVE: Trisomy of chromosome 13, 18, 21 and sex chromosome aneuploidies are the most common chromosomal abnormalities encountered in prenatal screening and are responsible for polymaformative syndrome associated with severe mental retardation. ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Chorionic Villi Sampling'

Definition: A method for diagnosis of fetal diseases by sampling the cells of the placental chorionic villi for DNA analysis, presence of bacteria, concentration of metabolites, etc. The advantage over amniocentesis is that the procedure can be carried out in the first trimester.
