OverviewAI-generated summary

Nafisa K. Dajani's research focuses on maternal and fetal health, particularly in pregnancies complicated by conditions such as diabetes and polyhydramnios. Her work investigates the associations between maternal factors, fetal development, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Dajani has published studies examining the risks of intrauterine fetal demise in cases of idiopathic polyhydramnios and exploring the relationship between maternal hemoglobin A1c levels and left ventricular hypertrophy in infants of mothers with pre-gestational diabetes. She also studies the utility of advanced imaging techniques like magnetoencephalography for prenatal diagnosis of fetal neurological conditions, including seizures. Her publications include case reports on rare conditions like fetal intracranial hemorrhage and reviews on topics such as gastric and esophageal cancer in pregnancy. Dajani has collaborated with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Everett F. Magann, Nirvana Manning, Megan Pagan, and Kaitlyn H. Taylor.
