Single umbilical artery (SUA), a congenital abnormality with one umbilical artery, can occur in some pregnancies.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n The current observational study was conducted at the Parul Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Waghodia, Vadodara, Gujarat. Ten percent formalin was used to preserve 5 cm segment of the placental cord after delivery. Paraffin-embedded slices were produced, and H and E staining was performed on a 3 \u03bcm segment.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n This study compared 125 normal and 125 intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) infant umbilical cords. IUGR neonates had significantly thinner umbilical vessel walls than normal newborns, although their cross-sectional area was similar between sexes.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n The thickness of umbilical cord blood arteries affects IUGR, according to this study. These large vessel wall thickness changes may indicate IUGR or associated disorders.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jpbs.jpbs_543_25","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,25]],"date-time":"2025-04-25T03:00:10Z","timestamp":1745550010000},"page":"S770-S773","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Isolated Single Umbilical Artery and Histomorphometric Changes of Umbilical Blood Vessels in Intrauterine Growth Retarded Foetus in Comparison to Normal Neonates"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Dinesh","family":"Kumar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"PhD Scholar, Department of Anatomy, Parul Institute of Medical Sciences & Research, Faculty of Medicine, Parul University, Waghodia, Vadodara, Gujarat, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jagdish S.","family":"Soni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Professor and Head, Department of Anatomy, Parul Institute of Medical Sciences & Research, Faculty of Medicine, Parul University, Waghodia, Vadodara, Gujarat, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20250513","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"216","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1469-0705.1995.06030216.x","article-title":"Single umbilical artery: A clinical enigma in modern prenatal diagnosis","volume":"6","author":"Persutte","year":"1995","journal-title":"Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol"},{"key":"R2-20250513","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"584","DOI":"10.1017\/thg.2014.47","article-title":"Pregnancy prognosis associated with an isolated single umbilical artery in twin pregnancy","volume":"17","author":"Cade","year":"2014","journal-title":"Twin Res Hum Genet"},{"key":"R3-20250513","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"54","DOI":"10.1097\/01.GIM.0000105743.91723.B0","article-title":"Single umbilical artery: What does it mean for the fetus.
