Objective: Nitric oxide, a potent vasodilator released by endothelial cells, inhibits platelet aggregation and adhesion to vascular surfaces. Because cell damage is considered pivotal in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia, this study was initiated determine whether nitric oxide production decreased patients with preeclampsia. Study Design: Twenty-six preeclampsia (as defined blood pressure ≥ 140 mm Hg systolic or 90 diastolic plus proteinuria, 300 mg per 24 hours 2 + dipstick, both occurring...
Abstract Objective. To assess the activity of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) during pregnancy and to distinguish it from preeclampsia. Methods. We prospectively measured complement activation products Ba, Bb, SC5b—9, C4d, as well conventional determinants C3, C4, CH50, in 14 patients with SLE 10 women Results. Four were considered have disease flares, 3 occurring second trimester 1 postpartum. In these patients, significant abnormalities CH50 noted. contrast, measures C4d did not between...
Abstract Hydrocephalic women with cerebrospinal fluid shunts are now surviving to reproductive age. Twenty-one pregnancies in 18 patients shunts, including 11 from the present series and 10 previous series, were analyzed for neurological, obstetrical, perinatal outcome. Fourteen had preexisting 4 onset of symptomatic hydrocephalus placement during pregnancy. Neurological complications occurred 13 17 (76%) symptoms increased intracranial pressure (ICP) (59%) pregnancies, exacerbation seizure...
This paper proposes a novel approach for detecting fetal heart rate (FHR) using seismo-cardiogram (SCG) and gyro-cardiogram (GCG) recordings collected from abdominal inertial sensors. A proof-of-concept setup with commercially available sensor nodes is prepared. The FHR components are extracted the fused cepstrum of all feasibility proposed method evaluated experiments on ten pregnant women under supine, seated, standing positions. results compared simultaneously-collected cardiotocography...
A method is described for the assay of estriol conjugates in amniotic fluid. Tritiated estriol-3 sulfate (E3-3S), estriol-16 glucosiduronate (E3-16G), (E3-3G) and sulfate-16 (E3-3S-16G) are added to After removal proteins, separated on a Celite partition column. Each conjugate hydrolyzed with Glusulase E3 purified by chromatography Sephadex LH-20. Assay fluorescence. The was applied 7 samples obtained from midpregnancy term pregnancy. total 0.84 9.3 μg/ml former 74 311 μg/100 ml latter. most...
In Brief Objective To determine whether the degree of cervical lengthening after cerclage and serial follow-up measurements length are predictive pregnancy outcome. Methods Eighty women whose primary physician determined that a prophylactic (n = 50) or urgent 30) was indicated had transvaginal ultrasonographic evaluation before cerclage. Thereafter, most three additional ultrasound examinations until 32 weeks' gestation. At each examination, mean calculated. Statistical analyses were done by...
This study attempts to determine the major source of lactate in normal and depressed human fetus, order assess applicability fetal blood measurement for evaluation stress during labor. We obtained umbilical arterial venous samples at delivery 132 liveborn infants, together with simultaneous maternal radial samples. All were analyzed immediately pH, gases, lactate. In vigorous newborns (1-minute Apgar score greater than or equal 7), levels lowest elective cesarean section done before onset...
We report only the 3 rd case of closure amniorrhexis following genetic amniocentesis. Our techinque is first to use endoscopic visualization rupture site and apply maternal platelets fibrinogen/thrombin (Hemaseel ® Haemacure Corp Sarasota Fl). The patient underwent repair at 20.6 weeks, 26 days after spontaneous membranes post-amniocentesis. At time procedure amniotic fluid index was 1 cm. Patient delivered 32.3 weeks secondary complications diabetes severe preeclampsia. neonate had APGARS 7...
To describe a new technique for wound closure after endoscopic intrauterine procedures which prevents amniotic fluid leakage the procedure.This is an observational study reviews under IRB-approved protocol. The rationale this was increasing frequency of procedures. most common complication these persistent from puncture sites, can result in preterm labor and delivery. Thus, carry high morbidity rate that may overcome benefit intervention. We have employed technique, has successfully...
