Eighty to 85% of the venous perfusion to the fetal liver is from the umbilical vein, the rest from the portal vein. Umbilical venous flow to the liver is essential for intrauterine growth, and is...
Ebbing, Cathrine, Rasmussen, Svein, Godfrey, Keith M., Hanson, Mark A., Kiserud, Torvid
Objective: To establish longitudinal reference ranges for the fetal superior mesenteric artery (SMA) flow velocity and pulsatility index (PISMA). Also to examine the hemodynamic relationship to...
Fetal age assessment based on 2ndtrimester ultrasound in Africa and the effect of ethnicity (2008)
Salpou, Daniel, Kiserud, Torvid, Rasmussen, Svein, Johnsen, Synnøve
Abstract Background The African population is composed of a variety of ethnic groups, which differ considerably from each other. Some studies suggest that ethnic variation may influence dating. The...

Abstract Background Conventionally, the pregnancy duration is accepted to be 280–282 days. Fetuses determined by ultrasound biometry to be small in early pregnancy, have an increased risk of...

Recent data suggest that umbilical venous perfusion of the fetal liver has an important influence on fetal growth and postnatal liver function, and that maternal factors in late pregnancy modify this...
Fetal liver-sparing cardiovascular adaptations linked to mother's slimness and diet (2005)
Haugen, Guttorm, Hanson, Mark, Kiserud, Torvid, Crozier, Sarah, Inskip, Hazel, Godfrey, Keith M.
Fetal adaptations to impaired maternoplacental nutrient supply include altered regional blood flow. Whether such responses operate within the normal range of maternal body composition or diet is...
Kiserud, Torvid, Jauniaux, Eric, West, Daniel, Ozturk, Ozkan, Hanson, Mark A.
Objectives: to determine fetal haemodynamic responses to hyperoxaemia and hypoxaemia in early pregnancy. Design: repeated measurements in acute experiments. Setting: experimental physiology...
