COLLOCATIONS FROM CORPUS
■ NOUN
calf
▪
Monolayers of human hepatoma cell line Hep3B were maintained in Dulbecco modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum.
▪
Dulbeco's modified Eagles' medium containing 10% fetal calf serum had an advantage in both plating efficiency and growth.
cell
▪
As she suspected, the women with sclerosis had 20 times more fetal cells in their blood than those without the disease.
▪
Theoretically, fetal cells serve as progenitors, differentiating into the family of cells that constitute the central nervous system.
death
▪
Thus the perinatal mortality ratio is the sum of the late fetal death ratio and the under-7-day mortality rate.
▪
Adequate control is very important, because grand mal seizures may harm the fetus or even precipitate fetal death .
▪
Usually expressed as the ratio of fetal deaths; i.e. the number of fetal deaths per 1,000 live births.
growth
▪
This pattern of impaired fetal growth has now been shown to be linked to cardiovascular disease.
▪
Maternal diet is only one of the many factors that can lead to fetal growth retardation.
▪
This study does, however, give an insight into the influences which reduce fetal growth and their timing in gestation.
▪
We suggest that maternal undernutrition, by constraining fetal growth , may programme cardiovascular disease.
▪
The associations with head circumference and thinness must therefore reflect reduced fetal growth .
▪
This suggests that the mechanisms which constrain fetal growth to prevent maternal-fetal disproportion do not effect long term programming of cardiovascular disease.
▪
Birth weight has been used as a measure of fetal growth but it is strongly dependent on gestational age.
heart
▪
Arguably, however, the midwife's record of a normal fetal heart rate should be just as acceptable as evidence.
▪
The available evidence does not support routine continuous fetal heart rate monitoring during all labours.
▪
The procedure was not associated with alterations in fetal heart rate and there was no evidence of haemorrhage into the coelomic cavity.
life
▪
We suggest that this is further evidence that cardiovascular disease originates through programming in fetal life and infancy.
▪
State regulation protective of fetal life after viability thus has both logical and biological justifications.
▪
Introduction People who had low growth rates during fetal life and infancy have high death rates from ischaemic heart disease.
▪
Infants also have a memory for stories or music they heard repeatedly in late fetal life .
▪
The effect of biological and physiological factors is predominant during fetal life and in the perinatal period.
mortality
▪
In two developing countries, the lowest frequency of fetal mortality is at births above second but below sixth or seventh order.
▪
Most studies have found no increase in fetal mortality when blood glucose levels are controlled in this way.
position
▪
I curled up in a fetal position after the Elimination Ritual and waited for sleep to come.
▪
She lay without moving in a fetal position .
▪
Her body resumes its fetal position and Jakhaila relaxes into sleep.
▪
He was in a fetal position , trying even in death to nestle like a spoon with others.
▪
The patient had been institutionalized, was in the fetal position and had regressed physically.
tissue
▪
Much of the effort of the anti-abortion movement has been directed against clinicians and against researchers working on fetal tissue .
EXAMPLES FROM CORPUS
▪
Adequate control is very important, because grand mal seizures may harm the fetus or even precipitate fetal death.
▪
Arguably, however, the midwife's record of a normal fetal heart rate should be just as acceptable as evidence.
▪
He had been born with the caul, the inner fetal membrane had covered his head at birth.
▪
I curled up in a fetal position after the Elimination Ritual and waited for sleep to come.
▪
In two developing countries, the lowest frequency of fetal mortality is at births above second but below sixth or seventh order.
▪
Maternal infection can result in fetal infection and damage and is estimated to occur in 0-1-0-5% of pregnancies in the United Kingdom.
▪
Perhaps the most remarkable result, however, was the apparent influence of fetal experience on career and marriage priorities.
▪
The mechanisms which link low fetal and infant growth rates with disease in adult life are not defined.
