estriol/vomiting

BACKGROUND X-linked adrenal hypoplasia congenita (AHC) is a rare cause of adrenocortical insufficiency. Early postnatal diagnosis may prevent severe hypoglycemia, Addisonian crises and death. Low maternal estriol (E3) levels in the second trimester of pregnancy could indicate the possibility that

OBJECTIVE To determine whether supplementation with vitamin B(6) improves nausea and/or vomiting in pregnancy. METHODS This experimental study was conducted with 60 pregnant women experiencing nausea and/or vomiting prior to the 12th gestational week. Of these women, 30 were treated daily with 10mg

OBJECTIVE To assess pregnancy hormone levels in relation to nausea with or without vomiting. METHODS In the context of a prospective cohort study, 262 white pregnant women in Boston were observed through delivery. Maternal blood was collected at 16 and 27 weeks' gestation and serum levels of

In the People's Republic of China one of the most widely used methods of second-trimester abortion is the intraamniotic injection of ethacridine (Rivanol). Intraamniotic ethacridine produces fetal death, a fall in maternal urinary estriol excretion, and a rise in prostaglandin levels. Although the

We present an unusual case in which a 23-year-old nulliparous patient was noted to have bilateral multicystic adnexal masses at 21 weeks gestation. Subsequent severe nausea, vomiting, and hyperglycemia with a serum glucose level of 450 mg/dL led to the diagnosis of gestational diabetes. Gradual

OBJECTIVE The pathogenesis of hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is probably multifactorial, involving several hormones. Androgen concentrations are reported to correlate positively with emesis gravidarum. Hypothesizing a continuum between emesis gravidarum and HG, we investigated androgen concentrations
