The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) is a well-documented postoperative complication but infrequently seen after gynecologic procedures. Clinical presentation is often insidious, and neurologic sequelae may be severe, especially in women. We report the first published
OBJECTIVE
Umbilical cord prolapse (UCP) is a rare event believed to be associated with adverse outcomes. The purpose of our study was to use a large administrative database to better identify incidence, predictors, and outcomes of births with UCP.
METHODS

The aim of this study was to assess the contribution of current obstetrical practice to the occurrence and complications of umbilical cord prolapse. Maternal and neonatal charts of 87 pregnancies complicated by true umbilical cord prolapse during a 5-year period were reviewed. Twin gestation and
The clinical and laboratory features of 24 patients with proven mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and brain dysfunction are reported. The age range of affected patients was between 20 and 63 years (average of 43) and 70 percent were women. MVP was documented prior to the brain illness in only 4 patients.
Several neurological syndromes, including syncope, convulsions, amnesia, transient ischaemic attacks and cerebral infarction, have been associated with mitral valve prolapse. It has been presumed that emboli may account for some of these. We report a case of retinal infarction in association with

OBJECTIVE
To validate umbilical arterial and venous pH and base deficit (pH(UA), pH(UV), BD(UA), and BD(UV), respectively), as well as venous-arterial pH differences, as measures of perinatal condition at birth (in relation to emergency intervention, resuscitation, facial mask, low Apgar, seizures,
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether a term neonate who has had sufficient intrapartum asphyxia to produce persistent brain injury will manifest the following four criteria: profound acidemia (arterial pH <7.00), an APGAR score < or =3 for 5 min or longer, seizures within 24 h of birth, and multiorgan
Background: In low-resource settings with few health workers, Fetal Heart Rate (FHR) monitoring in labour can be inconsistent and unreliable. An initiative to improve fetal monitoring was implemented in two public hospitals in rural
To determine whether severity of the prodromal gastrointestinal illness is associated with the course and complications of the extraintestinal manifestations of hemolytic-uremic syndrome, we conducted a retrospective review of children (n = 509) hospitalized with hemolytic-uremic syndrome. Those who
