fetal distress/dental caries

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of infusion of sodium bicarbonate in amniotic cavity and exchange of amniotic fluid for fetus with distress and acidosis. METHODS The patients included 40 cases of oligohydramnios with mild and serious abnormality of fetal heart rate and amniotic fluid

The purpose of the study was to investigate an association between maternal and/or fetal complications during pregnancy and/or delivery and the occurrence of baby bottle tooth decay (BBTD) in the infant. The study population comprised 50 mothers of infants with BBTD (BBTD+ mothers): 50 mothers of

The Hourly fetal urine production rate (HFUPR) was measured by ultrasound to evaluate the relationship between qualitative amniotic fluid volume (vertical depth of amniotic cavity) and fetal renal function. A positive correlation was found between HFUPR and neonatal birth weight (r = 0.625, p <

OBJECTIVE To measure the pressure of the amniotic cavity during pregnancy and to study the effects of antepartum amnioinfusion on oligohydramnios with intact membranes. METHODS We used an improved three-way switch apparatus to measure 110 women during pregnancy, and treated 97 oligohydramnios with

BACKGROUND Intra-amniotic maternal hemorrhage is a rare condition, hard to differentiate from some other conditions in pregnancy. We report an unusual case of intra-amniotic maternal hemorrhage in term pregnancy ending in urgent cesarean section, identified on ultrasound examination. METHODS A

The authors report a series of 400 forceps deliveries practiced between 1 January 1968 and 30 June 1971, in a university hospital unit. Forceps were used in 3.9 percent of deliveries; 76.9 percent of cases were practiced on primaparas. The authors also note the frequency of narrow pelvis (27.2

Body stalk anomaly (BSA) is a rare abdominal defect, generally considered to be lethal. Reported prevalence ranges from 0.4 to 3.2 per 100 000 live births. An early prenatal diagnosis offers the possibility of parental counseling and the termination of pregnancy. Also called limb-body wall complex,

BACKGROUND Amnioinfusion aims to prevent or relieve umbilical cord compression during labour by infusing a solution into the uterine cavity. OBJECTIVE To assess the effects of amnioinfusion for potential or suspected umbilical cord compression on maternal and perinatal outcome . METHODS We searched

Differential diagnosis of neonatal respiratory distress includes pulmonary and systemic disorders and anatomic problems compromising respiratory system. We report on a 2770-g female born to a 29-year-old gravida 3, para 2 woman after 34 weeks of gestation. Antenatal ultrasound performed in week 8

BACKGROUND The change in obstetrical practices over the last decade in favor of trials of labor in patients with uterine scars has resulted in increased incidences of uterine ruptures. Although neither repeat cesarean delivery nor a trial of labor is risk free, evidence from a large multicenter

BACKGROUND Amnioinfusion aims to prevent or relieve umbilical cord compression during labour by infusing a solution into the uterine cavity. OBJECTIVE The objective of this review was to assess the effects of amnioinfusion on maternal and perinatal outcome for potential or suspected umbilical cord

OBJECTIVE To determine the clinical significance of meconium-stained amniotic fluid (AF) observed at amniocentesis in patients with preterm labor. METHODS A nested case-control study was constructed based on the color of AF during amniocentesis. Forty-five women admitted with preterm labor and

It has been suggested that meconium-stained amniotic fluid can be detected in the antepartum period by means of ultrasound, based on the following findings: (1) a diffuse echogenic pattern throughout the amniotic cavity, (2) a clear contrast between the amniotic fluid and the umbilical cord, and (3)

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to review published reports and contribute new cases of umbilical cord ulceration (UCU) with perinatal hemorrhage into the amniotic cavity in the setting of duodenal or jejunal obstruction because knowledge of this sequence is poorly disseminated and could be
