Abstract.Up to 30 per cent of pregnant women suffer from leg cramps. The cause of these cramps is not known, but changes in calcium concentration have been suggested. Therefore 42 pregnant women with leg cramps were studied. No differences in total serum or ionized serum calcium concentrations were found as compared with a control group of pregnant women without leg cramps. Twenty‐one patients were treated with 1 g calcium orally twice daily for 2 weeks and in this group good clinical improvement was achieved (p<0.001). The treatment increased the total serum calcium concentration from 2.25 mmol/1 to 2.30 mmol/1 but did not alter the ionized serum calcium concentration. Twenty‐one untreated patients had the same frequency of cramps and showed no change in serum calcium concentrations throughout the investigat

摘要:

Abstract.Uterine tonicity has been determined by means of hysterometry on the first day of menstruation in 5 women with severe primary dysmenorrhea. The effect of intravenous infusion of salbutamol in a dose of 10 μg/min was evaluated. The results indicate that this β2‐receptor stimulating agent is capable of eliciting a marked decrease in uterine tonicity in dysmenorrheic women. The diminished uterine tonicity was closely associated with pain rel

Abstract.Uterine inversion is a rare condition that occurs in various degrees. Predisposing and etiologic factors are discussed, as are therapy and prophylaxis.These points are illustrated by 4 own cases and by 172 cases collected from literature.

摘要:

Abstract.One hundred and ten singleton breech infants with a birth‐weight less than 2500 g have been delivered at Huddinge University Hospital during the years 1972‐78. The cesarean section rate was 30.1 per cent. Vaginal and abdominal deliveries were compared with regard to perinatal mortality and asphyxial morbidity at birth. All infants born with reduced Apgar scores or traumatic birth injuries have been followed up. During a 6‐year period 3 children born with low Apgar scores were found to have persistent sequelae. Two of these were considered to relate to the delivery. We conclude that cesarean section is of benefit for infants weighing 1000–1500 g. However, it is doubtful if abdominal delivery is of benefit for the fetus weighing 1500‐2500 g. A high congenital anomaly rate (13.6 per cent)

摘要:

Abstract.In a retrospective analysis over the six year period, January, 1973 to December, 1978, the incidence of placenta previa in cases with previous cesarean section (C.S.) was found to be 3.9 per cent as compared to an overall incidence of 1.9 per cent (p<0.01) The risk of placenta previa was greater in the pregnancy immediately following the cesarean section. The incidence of a morbidly adherent placenta was also significantly higher in these cases.

摘要:

Abstract.The effects of suprapubic Marshall‐Marchetti‐Krantz (MMK) operation or vaginal Kelly's operation on roentgenographic anatomy of the lower urinary tract were elucidated by means of chain urethrocystography (UCG). A selected series of 30 postoperatively continent and 70 incontinent patients were examined both preoperatively and 3–4 years after operation.Both the urethral inclination (UI) and the posterior urethrovesical (PUV) angle decreased after the operation. The decrease was more marked after successful than unsuccessful operations. The MMK operation reduced the UI and the PUV angle significantly more than did Kelly's operation in both successful and unsuccessful cases. The position of the bladder base or the PUV junction was not altered significantly by either of the operations, whether successful or unsuccessful. The patients with postoperative detrusor instability had roentgen‐anatomical findings similar to those of continent p

摘要:

Abstract.One hundred and eight patients with imminent premature labor in the 24–36th week of pregnancy and with intact membranes were allocated randomly to two groups. Fifty‐four patients were treated with intravenous infusion of 12–50 μg/min of salbutamol (VentolineR) and 4 mg was subsequently given orally at 4‐hour intervals. The weight of the newborn was over 2500 g in 72% of cases. The duration of pregnancy was prolonged by over seven days in 67%, and 37 weeks of pregnancy and more was achieved in 61%. The comparable figures for the control group treated with fenoterol, 3–4 μg/min and subsequently 5 mg orally at 4‐hour intervals, were 78, 80 and 70%

摘要:

Abstract.Plasma and red blood cell folate concentrations (Lactobacillus caseiactivity) have been studied in 56 newborn twins and in 26 of their mothers, and in a control group consisting of 186 singletons and 155 of their mothers. The duration of the pregnancies ranged from 30–40 weeks. Iron, but no folic acid supplementation was given during pregnancy.The plasma and red cell folate concentrations in the twin mothers were at all stages of pregnancy similar to those observed in women with single pregnancies having an adequate folate intake. The twins had plasma folate concentrations similar to singletons at all gestational ages. Their red cell folate concentrations were lower than in singletons until 37 weeks of gestation, while the values were similar at term, indicating an increased transfer of folate to the twins during the last week of pregnancy. The smaller of the twins had similar plasma folate concentrations and lower red cell folate concentrations compared to the bigger one. At 30–32 weeks of pregnancy twin mothers had lower Hb, RBC and VPRC‐values than women with single pregnancies. Twin mothers, delivering at 38–40 weeks of pregnancy, had values corresponding to those of single pregnancy women, probably indicating a recovery from a physiological lowering of the blood values. The twins had similar Hb, lower RBC and higher MCV and reticulocyte values compared to singletons, possibly indicating a more active erythropoiesis in the twins.Folic acid supplementation is not recommended as a routine in twin pregnancies in this population. Twins delivered before term should be ensured an adequate folate

摘要:

Abstract.Serum HCG‐β has been assayed in 100 cases of ectopic pregnancy. Results above 10 IU/I were considered positive. Positive values were found in 97 cases, of which 23 were within the range of a normal pregnancy, one was above and 73 below the normal range.In the 3 cases with a negative HCG‐β value, devitalized ectopic pregnancies were found at operation.The routine urine pregnancy test was negative in 53, positive in 29 and not performed in 18
