Hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma in a preterm newborn: demonstration by low-dose multidetector CT.

2007

Primary liver tumours are very rare in the neonatal period. Differential diagnoses include haemangioendothelioma, malignant hepatoblastoma and mesenchymal hamartoma. Due to non-specific clinical symptoms and indecisive imaging findings, correct diagnosis may be difficult to establish. We report a female preterm newborn who was delivered at 33 weeks of gestation and in whom ultrasonography (US) revealed a large cystic intraabdominal tumour of unknown origin. For further evaluation, contrast-enhanced multidetector computed tomography (CT) was performed on the 4th day of life using a low-dose protocol (80 kVp, 50 mAs, collimation 0.75 mm, total effective dose 3.6 mSv). Based on CT findings, di…

1124 FERTILITY AND PREGNANCY IN PRIMARY SCLEROSING CHOLANGITIS

Isolated erythema (cellulitis) of the breast.

2002

Abstract This paper reports nine cases of breast cellulitis in women patients (four cases in pregnancy, four postmenopausal cases following hormone replacement therapy and one case of unilateral breast oedema following a mediastinal lymphoma). Biopsies were obtained from the erythematous area in one pregnant patient, one postmenopausal patient and the patient with breast oedema associated with the mediastinal lymphoma. Histology revealed unspecific dermatitis with extensive perivascular lymphoplasmocellular infiltrates. Histopathological examination of biopsies obtained from the underlying mammary tissue along with the corresponding mammographic data gave no evidence of mastitis or mammary …

Couples share similar changes in depressive symptoms and marital satisfaction anticipating the birth of a child

2006

The birth of a child is a demanding family life situation. This longitudinal study investigated to what extent spouses' depressive symptoms and marital dissatisfaction associated with pregnancy and childbirth (and their changes over time) were characteristic of the spousal relationship and/or the individual spouses. Pregnant women (N= 320) and their spouses (N = 259) were examined twice before and twice following childbirth. Results indicated that changes in depressive symptoms and marital satisfaction during pregnancy were characteristic of the spousal relationship, whereas changes after birth were characteristic of both the relationship and the individual spouses. Couples with initially …

Influence of induced intrauterine diuresis on the upper urinary tract

1993

There are many possible etiologies of sonographically detected dilatation of the renal pelvis and the ureter during pregnancy. The observation that fetal ureteral dilatation occurs with congenital diabetes insipidus has led to the suspicion of at least a modifying influence resulting from intrauterine diuresis. To increase fetal diuresis experimentally, Wistar rats were treated with 100 mg chlorthalidon and 40 mg furosemide per kg bodyweight per day. The animal experiment was performed with four groups. Group I was treated during the entire course of pregnancy. Group II during the first half and Group III during the second half. Group C was the untreated control group. For morphometric inve…

Treatment of congenital abdominal wall defects —a 25-year review of 132 patients

2013

The outcome data of 132 patients treated at the Department of Pediatric Surgery in Mainz during the last 25 years were reviewed. Prenatal diagnosis of abdominal wall defects (AWDs) and associated malformations led to increasing selection of the patient population. The aim of primary closure of the abdominal wall can be achieved more frequently in gastroschisis (GS) than omphalocele (OC), while the postoperative course is more complicated and of longer duration in GS. Delayed or secondary closure extended the hospitalization period but had no negative effects on the outcome. Reoperations or planned secondary operations were performed in 23 patients with GS and 14 with OC. Early mortality was…

Respiratory Gas Transport in Blood during Pregnancy with Hemoglobin Concentrations Below 12g/100ml

1978

During pregnancy the conditions for respiratory gas transport in blood and respiratory gas exchange differ from that of non-pregnant healthy women. The hemoglobin concentration and, consequently, the O2 capacity of blood decreases. The arterial CO2 tension falls between the 10th and the 40th week of gestation to values of about 30 mmHg, while the pH of the arterial blood during the same period was found to be nearly constant at an elevated level (7). Investigations of blood O2 affinity during pregnancy led to non-uniform results. Several investigators found no significant change whereas others described a significant decrease of blood O2 affinity in pregnant women and a mean P50 value of ab…

Associations of adherence to the New Nordic Diet with risk of preeclampsia and preterm delivery in the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study (MoBa)

2014

Preeclampsia and preterm delivery are serious complications of pregnancy and leading causes of perinatal mortality and morbidity worldwide. Dietary factors might be associated with these adverse outcomes. We investigated whether adherence to the New Nordic Diet (NND) was associated with preeclampsia and preterm delivery risks in the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study (MoBa). Participants were recruited from all over Norway during the period 1999-2008. A previously constructed diet score assessing meal frequency, and the consumption of Nordic fruits, root vegetables, cabbages, potatoes, oatmeal porridge, whole grains, wild fish, game, berries, milk and water, was used to assess NND adhe…

Strategies for managing Asherman's syndrome and endometrial atrophy: Since the classical experimental models to the new bioengineering approach

2021

Endometrial function is essential for embryo implantation and pregnancy, but managing endometrial thickness that is too thin to support pregnancy or an endometrium of compromised functionality due to intrauterine adhesions is an ongoing challenge in reproductive medicine. Here, we review current and emerging therapeutic and experimental options for endometrial regeneration with a focus on animal models used to study solutions for Asherman's syndrome and endometrial atrophy, which both involve a damaged endometrium. A review of existing literature was performed that confirmed the lack of consensus on endometrial therapeutic options, though promising new alternatives have emerged in recent ye…
