OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to evaluate perinatal outcome after thoracoamniotic shunting for fetal pleural effusions with hydrops.
METHODS
This was a retrospective study.
RESULTS
Shunting was performed immediately after diagnosis and was successful in all 54 of the cases that were
Two patients with chorioamnionitis due to Gardnerella vaginalis are described. Institution of tocolytic therapy for preterm labor is associated with maternal complications of septic hypotension and pulmonary edema in one patient. Diagnostic modalities, specifically culturing techniques, are
A study was undertaken to determine why there is such variability in morbidity and mortality in neonates exposed to antenatal chorioamnionitis. Villous edema provides a clue. It was present in 72/83 placentas with chorioamnionitis. The extent and severity of the edema had a strong, positive
OBJECTIVE
To study perinatal outcome following thoraco-amniotic shunting for fetal pleural effusions with hydrops.
METHODS
Retrospective study (1984-2004) to evaluate a policy of emergency thracoamniotic shunting in hydropic fetuses with suspected chylothorax, on the basis of the rationale that
BACKGROUND
The outcome for the fetus with hydrops fetalis secondary to complete congenital heart block is almost uniformly poor. Transplacental fetal therapy with inotropic drugs may be unreliable in the hydropic fetus. We describe our experience of direct fetal therapy with digoxin and furosemide
In a study of 82 cases of clinical chorioamnionitis in which no antibiotics were administered antenatally, significant villous edema was observed in 51 placentas (62%). Polymorphonuclear leukocyte invasion of the placental plate was found in 53 placentas (65%). The presence of SVE was significantly
OBJECTIVE
To determine the risk factors for pulmonary edema in women with preterm delivery.
METHODS
This was a case-controlled study of 52 (6.7%) cases with and 722 (93.3%) cases without pulmonary edema in a cohort of women who delivered between 24 and 33 weeks. Univariate and logistic regression
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate whether fetal heart rate (FHR) patterns obtained in nonstress testing within 24 hours of delivery in patients with preterm delivery were associated with histologic acute infection, and if so, whether the associations are with maternal as opposed to fetal acute inflammation
OBJECTIVE
This study was undertaken to determine the course of acute inflammation in the maternal and fetal compartments during experimentally induced ascending intra-amniotic infection.
METHODS
Forty pregnant rabbits at 70% gestation were inoculated endocervically with 10(5) colony-forming units of
BACKGROUND
Preterm birth is a major cause of infant morbidity and long-term disability, and is associated with numerous central nervous system (CNS) deficits. Infants exposed to intrauterine inflammation, specifically chorioamnionitis, are at risk for very early preterm birth and neurological
UNASSIGNED
Since acute respiratory failure (ARF) is a life-threatening complication, particularly in the gestational period, differential diagnosis and rapid treatment are required. Among the various causes of sudden onset of ARF, thyroid storm is a rare cause in a parturient complicated with
OBJECTIVE
To assess maternal morbidity and outcome in women undergoing minimal-access fetoscopic surgery for spina bifida aperta.
METHODS
This was a retrospective study of 51 women undergoing minimal-access fetoscopic surgery to improve postnatal neurological outcome of spina bifida aperta, at a
This histopathological study analyzes placentas of babies congenitally infected with T. cruzi (M+B+), or babies not infected but born from infected- (M+B-), or non infected-mothers (M-B-). Placentas M+B+ showed lesions of chorionitis, chorioamnionitis and cord edema with lymphocyte infiltration,
Five cases of macerated stillborn fetuses with congenital syphilis were studied. Despite severe maceration with visceral autolysis, spirochetes could be easily detected using Warthin-Starry stains. Clues that led to performing silver stains included the presence of an enlarged liver, spleen,
Extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants (<1 kg) have high rates of neurodisability. Although previous studies have implicated placental lesions in adverse short-term neurologic outcomes in this population, none have assessed their effects in these children once they reach school age. We conducted
