Analytical theory of oxygen transfer in the human placenta
A. S. Serov, C. Salafia, M. Filoche +1
We propose an analytical approach to solving the diffusion-convection equations governing oxygen transport in the human placenta. We show that only two geometrical characteristics…
Optimal villi density for maximal oxygen uptake in the human placenta
A. S. Serov, C. Salafia, P. Brownbill +2
We present a stream-tube model of oxygen exchange inside a human placenta functional unit (a placentone). The effect of villi density on oxygen transfer efficiency is assessed by n…
Probability distributions for measures of placental shape and morphology
Joshua S. Gill, Mischa P. Woods, Carolyn M. Salafia +1
Weight at delivery is a standard cumulative measure of placental growth. But weight is a crude summary of other placental characteristics, such as the size and shape of the chorion…
Abnormality of the placental vasculature affects placental thickness
Michael Yampolsky, Carolyn M. Salafia, Oleksandr Shlakhter +3
Our empirical modeling suggests that deformation of placental vascular growth is associated with abnormal placental chorionic surface shape. Altered chorionic surface shape is asso…
Mean surface shape of a human placenta
Michael Yampolsky, Oleksandr Shlakhter, Carolyn M. Salafia +1
The chorionic plate (or "fetal surface") of the human placenta is drawn as round, with the umbilical cord inserted roughly at the center, but variability of this shape is common. T…
Allometric metabolic scaling and fetal and placental weight
Carolyn M. Salafia, Dawn P. Misra, Michael Yampolsky +2
We tested the hypothesis that the fetal-placental relationship scales allometrically and identified modifying factors. Among women delivering after 34 weeks but prior to 43 weeks g…
