Perinatal outcome of term pregnancies with borderline amniotic fluid index: a prospective case control study [PDF]

, 2020
Background: It has been since antiquity that the importance of amniotic fluid and fetal growth with perinatal outcome is being documented. But the lacunae lies in studying the relationship between borderline amniotic fluid and perinatal outcome.

Association between oxytocin discontinuation during active labor and occiput posterior rotation at birth

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Oxytocin is commonly used in occiput posterior (OP) positions based on the assumption that it promotes rotation to the occiput anterior (OA) position, although supporting evidence is lacking. We compared OP‐to‐OA rotation at birth among women in whom oxytocin was discontinued versus continued during active labor.

The impact of pre‐pregnancy underweight on the risk of perineal and anal sphincter injury in nulliparous women

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Perineal injury is a common complication of vaginal delivery with maternal consequences. Although the effects of obesity are established, the impact of underweight on perineal and obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASI), remains unclear.

Demonstration of astrocytes in cultured amniotic fluid cells of three cases with neural-tube defect [PDF]

, 1981
We have investigated the origin of rapidly adhering (RA) cells in three cases of neural tube defects (two anencephali, one encephalocele). We were able to demonstrate the presence of glial fibrillary acidic (GFA) protein in variable percentages (4–80 ...

Clinical performance of sFlt‐1/PlGF ratio triage in suspected pre‐eclampsia: A prospective, observational multicenter diagnostic‐triage study in South Africa (TsHEPPO study)

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To evaluate the diagnostic and short‐term predictive performance of the soluble fms‐like tyrosine kinase‐1/placental growth factor (sFlt‐1/PlGF ratio) in South African women with suspected pre‐eclampsia (PE), comparing thresholds of ≥ 33 and ≥ 38 in a predominantly African population.
