    ObjectiveTo investigate the association between maternal intrapartum fever and ST-waveform changes of the fetal electrocardiogram.DesignRetrospective cohort study.SettingThree academic and six non-academic teaching hospitals in the Netherlands.PopulationLabouring women with a high-risk singleton pregnancy in cephalic position beyond 36 weeks of gestation.MethodsWe studied 142 women with fever (≥38.0°C) during labour and 141 women with normal temperature who had been included in two previous studies. In both groups, we counted the number and type of ST-events and classified them as significant (intervention needed) or not significant, based on STAN(®) clinical guidelines.Main outcome measuresNumber and type of ST-events.ResultsBoth univariable and multivariable regression analysis showed no association between the presence of maternal intrapartum fever and the number or type of ST-events.ConclusionsMaternal intrapartum fever is not associated with ST-segment changes of the fetal electrocardiogram. Interpretation of ST-changes in labouring women with fever should therefore not differ from other situations.JH Becker, J van Rijswijk, B Versteijnen, ACC Evers, ESA van den Akker, E van Beek, AC Bolte, RJP Rijnders, BWJ Mol, KGM Moons, MM Porath, AP Drogtrop, NWE Schuitemaker, C Willekes, MEMH Westerhuis, GHA Visser, A Kwee

    Heart rate variability in hypertensive pregnancy disorders:a systematic review

    No full text
    \u3cp\u3eBACKGROUND: Hypertensive pregnancy disorders (HPD) are associated with dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. Cardiac autonomic functions can be assessed by heart rate variability (HRV) measurements.\u3c/p\u3e\u3cp\u3eOBJECTIVE: To study whether HRV detects differences in the function of the autonomic nervous system between pregnant women with HPD compared to normotensive pregnant women and between women with a history of a pregnancy complicated by HPD compared to women with a history of an uncomplicated pregnancy.\u3c/p\u3e\u3cp\u3eMETHODS: A systematic search was performed in Medline, EMBASE, and CENTRAL to identify studies comparing HRV between pregnant women with HPD or women with a history of HPD to women with (a history of) normotensive pregnancies.\u3c/p\u3e\u3cp\u3eRESULTS: The search identified 523 articles of which 24 were included in this review, including 850 women with (a history of) HPD and 1205 normotensive controls. The included studies showed a large heterogenicity. A decrease in overall HRV was found in preeclampsia (PE), compared to normotensive pregnant controls. A trend is seen towards increased low frequency/high frequency-ratio in women with PE compared to normotensive pregnant controls.\u3c/p\u3e\u3cp\u3eCONCLUSION: Our systematic review supports the hypothesis a sympathetic overdrive is found in HPD which is associated with a parasympathetic withdrawal. However, the included studies in our review showed a large diversity in the methods applied and their results.\u3c/p\u3

    Uterine monitoring techniques from patients' and users' perspectives

    Objective To evaluate preferences from patients and users on 3 uterine monitoring techniques, during labor. Study Design Women in term labor were simultaneously monitored with the intrauterine pressure catheter, the external tocodynamometer, and the electrohysterograph. Postpartum, these women filled out a questionnaire evaluating their preferences and important aspects. Nurses completed a questionnaire evaluating users' preferences. Results Of all 52 participating women, 80.8% preferred the electrohysterograph, 17.3% the intrauterine pressure catheter and 1.9% the external tocodynamometer. For these women, the electrohysterograph scored best regarding application and presence during labor (p < 0.001). Most important aspects were least likely to harm and least discomfort. Of 57 nurses, 40.4% preferred the electrohysterograph, 35.1% the external tocodynamometer, and 24.6% had no preference, or replied that their preference is subject to situation and patient. Conclusion Patients prefer the electrohysterograph over the external tocodynamometer and the intrauterine pressure catheter, while healthcare providers report ambiguous results

    A clinical prediction model to assess the risk of operative delivery

    Objective To predict instrumental vaginal delivery or caesarean section for suspected fetal distress or failure to progress. Design Secondary analysis of a randomised trial. Setting Three academic and six non-academic teaching hospitals in the Netherlands. Population 5667 labouring women with a singleton term pregnancy in cephalic presentation. Methods We developed multinomial prediction models to assess the risk of operative delivery using both antepartum (model 1) and antepartum plus intrapartum characteristics (model 2). The models were validated by bootstrapping techniques and adjusted for overfitting. Predictive performance was assessed by calibration and discrimination (area under the receiver operating characteristic), and easy-to-use nomograms were developed. Main outcome measures Incidence of instrumental vaginal delivery or caesarean section for fetal distress or failure to progress with respect to a spontaneous vaginal delivery (reference). Results 375 (6.6%) and 212 (3.6%) women had an instrumental vaginal delivery or caesarean section due to fetal distress, and 433 (7.6%) and 571 (10.1%) due to failure to progress, respectively. Predictors were age, parity, previous caesarean section, diabetes, gestational age, gender, estimated birthweight (model 1) and induction of labour, oxytocin augmentation, intrapartum fever, prolonged rupture of membranes, meconium stained amniotic fluid, epidural anaesthesia, and use of ST-analysis (model 2). Both models showed excellent calibration and the receiver operating characteristics areas were 0.70–0.78 and 0.73–0.81, respectively. Conclusion In Dutch women with a singleton term pregnancy in cephalic presentation, antepartum and intrapartum characteristics can assist in the prediction of the need for an instrumental vaginal delivery or caesarean section for fetal distress or failure to progress

    Council cottages and community in inter-war Britain: a study of class, culture,politics and place.

    No full text
    PhDThis thesis makes a contribution to the debates surrounding the idea of community on the cottage council estates of inter-war Britain. It questions the conventional wisdom that community was lacking upon these estates. Recognising the problematic nature of the notion of community, this thesis overcomes the confusion inherent in the term when it is used to describe social structures by viewing community instead as a structure of meaning, as a discursive rather than material reality. This guides my examination of community on the estates. Rather than there being no community, it is argued that there were at least three different discourses of community, and what is important is the relationships between them. Chapter One discusses the contexts in which these estates were built, and then sets out the ways in which community is understood in this thesis. Chapter Two explains the methodology that was used, a combination of archival and oral histoiy. In Chapter Three Roehampton and Watling - the two estates this research focuses upon - are described in order to provide the contextual setting for my interpretation of the discourses of community that were present there. Chapter Four is concerned with community from the viewpoint of the residents who lived on the estates. Chapter Five considers discourses of community from the point of view of the tenants' and residents' associations that developed upon Roehampton and Watling. Chapter Six explores the discourse of community that was promoted on the estates by the Community Association movement. Overall the thesis argues that the discourses of community on inter-war housing estates have to be understood in terms of the occupational structures, cultures and politics of these estates

    Fetal blood sampling in addition to intrapartum ST-analysis of the fetal electrocardiogram: evaluation of the recommendations in the Dutch STAN (R) trial

    No full text
    Objectives:  To evaluate the recommendations for additional fetal blood sampling (FBS) when using ST-analysis of the fetal electrocardiogram. Design:  Prospective cohort study. Setting:  Three academic and six non-academic teaching hospitals in the Netherlands. Population:  Labouring women with a high-risk singleton pregnancy in cephalic position beyond 36 weeks of gestation. Methods:  In labouring women allocated to the STAN® arm of a previously published randomised controlled trial who underwent one or more FBS during delivery, we assessed whether FBS was performed according to the trial protocol and how fetal acidosis, defined as an FBS pH 60 minutes, and poor electrocardiogram quality, respectively. When the predefined criteria were not met and ST-analysis showed no ST-events, only two incidents of fetal acidosis were seen. Conclusions:  The performance of FBS is valuable in the advised STAN® criteria. When these criteria are not met, performance of FBS does not seem helpful in the detection of fetal acidosis.JH Becker ... A Kwee ... et al

    A new glimpse of Day One : an intertextual history of Genesis 1.1-5 in Hebrew and Greek texts up to 200 CE

    No full text
    This thesis is an unconventional history of the interpretation of Day One, Genesis 1.1-5, in Hebrew and Greek texts up to c. 200 CE. Using the concept of ‘intertextuality’ as developed by Kristeva, Derrida, and others, the method for this historical exploration looks at the dynamic interconnectedness of texts. The results reach beyond deliberate exegetical and eisegetical interpretations of Day One to include intertextual, and therefore not necessarily deliberate, connections between texts. The purpose of the study is to gain a glimpse into the textual possibilities available to the ancient reader / interpreter. Central to the method employed is the identification of the intertexts of Day One. This is achieved, at least in part, by identifying and tracing flags that may draw the reader from one text to another. In this study these flags are called ‘intertextual markers’ and may be individual words, word-pairs, or small phrases that occur relatively infrequently within the corpus of texts being examined. The thesis first explores the intertextuality of Genesis 1.1-5 in the confines of the Hebrew Bible and the Septuagint. The second half of the thesis identifies and explores the intertexts of Day One in other Hebrew texts (e.g. the Dead Sea Scrolls, Sirach) and other Greek texts (e.g. Philo, the New Testament) up to c. 200 CE. The thesis concludes with a summation of some of the more prominent and surprising threads in this intertextual ‘tapestry’ of Day One. These summary threads include observations within the texts in a given language and a comparative look at the role of language in the intertextual history of Day One
