摘要:

Primary hyperparathyroidism during pregnancy lias been reported in 36 women; 1 new case is reported here. Screening by determining serum calcium levels is a valuable method of diagnosing the disease. Kad minium noassay of serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) greatly aids in the diagnosis. Amniotic fluid PTH values are discussed. Hyperparathyroidism has a high association with progressive renal insufficiency, renal calculi, hypertension, and bone disease. During pregnancy, there is an increased incidence of stillborns, premature labor, and neonatal tetany. Acute hyperparathyroid crisis may result in maternal death. This is the first reported case surgically treated during the third trimester of pregnancy. Surgery should be considered when the diagnosis is made late in pregnancy, as this may protect the infant from neonatal tetany.

摘要:

A new uterine curette is described, with features designed to help eliminate some of the instrumentation hazards in the operation of uterine curettage. An analysis of the disadvantages of the traditional curette is presented together with a description of how these have been minimized or eliminated in the new instrument. The fundamental difference in the new instrument is its tip. It has features to minimize the likelihood of perforation, deep gouging, and unnecessary injury to the basilar endometrium. Prototypes of the new instrument have gone through an evolutionary and testing period of 25 years, during which the instrument has been used by many operators. There have been no serious accidents or complications reported, and there has been no need for repeat curettage.
