Varner, Michael W. | hPL: physiologic and pathophysiologic observations. | Serum human placental lactogen (hPL) levels were studied in 806 women in late pregnancy. The hPL levels were positively correlated with birth weight but were unrelated to maternal age, parity, socioeconomic status, or the sex of the newborn. The hPL levels peaked at 37 weeks' gestation and then decl... | hPL; Pregnancy Complications; Pregnancy, Multiple; Infant, Newborn; Birth Weight | 1979-08 |

Varner, Michael W.; Clark, Edward B.; Fernando, Kumari L.; Mathews, V. John | Robust estimation of fetal heart rate variability using Doppler ultrasound. | This paper presents a new measure of heart rate variability (HRV) that can be estimated using Doppler ultrasound techniques and is robust to variations in the angle of incidence of the ultrasound beam and the measurement noise. This measure employs the multiple signal characterization (MUSIC) algori... | Prenatal Ultrasonography; Fetal Heart Rate; Blood Flow Velocity; Algorithms | 2003-08 |

Varner, Michael W. | X-ray pelvimetry in clinical obstetrics. | X-ray pelvimetry has been used in obstetrics for over 80 years, but its clinical usefulness remains uncertain. Review of 101 consecutive x-ray pelvimetries obtained by Brown's modification of the Colcher-Sussman technique demonstrated the anteroposterior measurements to be of no value in predicting ... | X-rey Pelvimetry;Labor Presentation; Ultrasonography; Abdominal Scout Film | 1980-09 |
