    Accelerations in greater than intra-partum greater than cardiotocographic recording I. Correlation with perinatal outcome

    No full text
    The authors examine 1994 cardiotocographic recordings during labour, equivalent to 89% of all deliveries of the same period. They evaluate the tendency of the acceleratory activity in the single recordings during their whole lenght, comparing it with the perinatal outcome, evaluated by the perinatal mortality and the Apgar score at 1' and 5'. They conclude that the presence of accelerations could be considered, when present in a certain degree, a sure index of foetal well-being or of good possibility of foetal reactions to hypoxic stimuli, allowing a more cautious evaluation of the cardiotocogram

    Accelerations in "intra-partum" cardiotocographic recording II. Present contemporaneously to prognostically unfavourable cardiotocographic aspects

    The Authors examine 1994 cardiotocographic recordings during labour, equivalent to 89% of all deliveries of the same period. They evaluate the acceleratory activity in the tract of recording presenting alterations considered expression of foetal distress (bradycardia, severe tachycardia, loss of cyclic variations, variable and late decelerations), and compare both parameters with the perinatal outcome. The presence of accelerations seems to allow a more oculate evaluation of the cardiotocogram and, in particular, a decreased incidence of hurried instrumental foetal extractions

    [Influence of high doses of ritodrine on basal cardiotocographic tracing during pregnancy]

    The authors examine whether high doses of ritodrine may alter the antepartum 'non-stressed FHR monitoring'. In particular, they studied modifications of the 'reactivity' of the tracing. The authors conclude that ritodrine does not significantly affect FHR monitoring, and does not interfere with the antepartum assessment of fetal well being

    Simultaneous laparoscopic cholecystectomy and laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysteroadnexectomy

    As a consequence of the wide applications of operative laparoscopy and thoracoscopy, simultaneous surgical procedures have been carried out endoscopically. We report a 51-year-old woman treated by simultaneous laparoscopic cholecystectomy and celioscopically assisted vaginal hysteroadnexectomy for hydropic calculous gallbladder, uterine myomas, and bilateral ovarian policystosis. These procedures were carried out using six abdominal trocar sites, and the gallbladder was removed through the colpotomic access. The patient had an uncomplicated postoperative course and was discharged on postoperative day 5. In our opinion, the multidisciplinary laparoscopic approach, with the original technical solutions, represents an effective, minimally invasive method of treatment that gives new perspective about the indications and the treatment of similar case
