Fetal ultrasound biometry for pregnant population in the County of Primorje-Gorski Kotar (Croatia)

Abstract

Normal fetal biometry charts for population of pregnant women in the northern coastal region of Croatia were constructed. Due to existence of statistically significant differences in ultrasound fetal biometry values among various populations under comparison, construction of own charts and their implementation in routine obstetrical work are justified.

Secular Trend in the Development of Permanent Teeth in a Population of Istria and the Littoral Region of Croatia

“…The occurrence of a progressive increase in the height and weight of children of the same chronological age in the last 100 years is called secular trend . Accelerated growth and development is present in all segments of the organism: height and weight , commencement of puberty , fetal growth and birth weight , skeletal development , craniofacial morphology , dental arch dimensions, teeth and their eruption . It is assumed that dental development and dental age also follow secular trends and teeth mature at an earlier chronological age than several decades ago.…”

“…In their studies, different authors obtained different data on the age when mineralization of permanent teeth takes place . The wide diversity in the time of the mineralization of permanent teeth is a result of the large number of factors that can have an effect on the same—from nutrition, living standards, disease, and disturbed growth up to chromosomal aberrations . Investigations have shown that the development of teeth is to a large extent regulated genetically .…”

“…Specifically in Uberaba city, Southeast of Brazil, in the same census of 2010, the rate of mixed amounted to 28.0% (21) , in other words a difference of 35.1% regarding the whole Brazilian population. Because of regional ethnic differences among populations in the same country, some authors have established reference charts for fetal biometrical parameters to specific regions (14,22) . Araujo Júnior et al (16) determined reference charts for fetal biometric parameters in 31,476 singleton Brazilian pregnant women.…”
