 | | The regular "record" transfusion needle was inserted into the largest of these three vessels, the umbilical vein, and a ligature was tied over the cord to the needle to hold the needle in place. | | | In my experience, the median basilic vein is always large enough to admit an 18 gage needle in infants as young as 2 or 3 weeks, and is preferable to the superior longitudinal sinus usually; but it is necessary to dissect it out. | | | The needle was then withdrawn from the umbilical vein, and the cord was again tied off as before. |

| | Medical References: Umbilical Cord Abnormalities |
| | The umbilical cord is a narrow, tube-like structure that connects the developing baby (also referred to, in medical terms, as the fetus) to the placenta. | | | The risk of umbilical cord prolapse is increased if the baby is in a breech (foot-first) position or if the baby is premature. | | | This is an emergency situation, and the provider will take steps to relieve pressure on the umbilical cord by lifting the presenting fetal part away from the cord while preparing the woman for prompt cesarean delivery. |

| | umbilical cord |
| | The presence of a single umbilical artery in the umbilical cord of the baby is sometimes associated with pre-eclampsia in the mother (eg: Sener et al, 1997), but there is no evidence at present of a causal link between the two. | | | In one study, approximately one third of fetuses with single umbilical artery had structural defects, mostly affecting the heart (Chow, Benson, and Doubilet, 1998). | | | With regard to the likelihood of the problems you have experienced happening again in future pregnancies, it will be worth discussing this with your doctor who will have a more complete understanding of your situation. |

| | If the umbilical coiling index was to be of clinical value, Dr. Strong recognized the importance of being able to determine cord coiling antepartum. | | | In the early 1990's, Dr. Strong and his colleagues attempted to quantify this relationship, by first confirming what others had observed, that a child born with non-coiled umbilical vessels is at increased risk for perinatal morbidity and mortality (2). | | | By studying prenatal ultrasounds, he discovered that although 30% of noncoiled cords early in gestation will become coiled by delivery, the 2-6% of cords that remain uncoiled throughout gestation can be recognized on ultrasound, and may represent a real risk for suboptimal perinatal outcome. |

| | Due to the readily available nature of umbilical cords, this allows for greater usage of the model in the study of blood-borne metastasis. | | | We have previously described an in vitro perfusion model that utilizes saphenous vein, which permits the study of the interactions among tumor cells, the hemostatic system, and heparins under physiologic and sheer stress flow conditions. | | | The clinical association between cancer and hemostasis has long been recognized. |

| | During gestation the placenta delivers blood with food and oxygen from the mother through the umbilical vein. | | | This means that in the fetus, circulation is the reverse of circulation after birth, because the fetus' veins have the oxygenated blood and arteries return unoxygentated blood to the heart. | | | In order to make this work, there is a shunt from the liver venous circulation to the arterial circulation. |
