Guest of the column, conducted by journalist Fabrizio Meloni, head of Communications and External Relations of the Aou, will be Dr. Silvia Ajossa, of the Integrated Center for Medically Assisted Procreation (PMA) and obstetric-gynecological diagnostics of the Duilio Casula Polyclinic.
Prenatal diagnosis is a set of instrumental and laboratory investigations which aim to monitor aspects of the state of health of the fetus during pregnancy, from the early stages of embryonic development up to the moments preceding the birth.
Prenatal investigations allow early detection of diseases that can be caused by DNA abnormalities, chromosome alterations, infectious diseases contracted during pregnancy, such as rubella or toxoplasmosis, by taking drugs that can induce fetal malformations and other causes including, some, treatable in utero before birth.
The integrated center for medically assisted procreation and obstetric-gynecological diagnostics of the Duilio Casula Polyclinic offers assistance to the couple during the procreation process and, when there is a high risk of congenital diseases, through targeted tests it ascertains the presence of any specific anomalies.
The talk “15 minutes with…” is edited by Aou Cagliari News, the newspaper of the university hospital. An agile and simple format, it includes 15 minutes of discussions with specialists and the possibility for the public to ask questions live.
