Caffeine, theophylline and theobromine in pregnancy.

Dietary surveys estimated the caffeine intake of pregnant women in London to average 1.4 mmol (270 mg) with a range of 0 to 6.0 mmol (0-1160 mg)/day. The average plasma caffeine was 6.5 (SD 2.8-14.8), plasma theophylline 2.9 (SD 1.3-6.7), plasma theobromine 2.1 (SD 0.9-4.9) mumol/l. The results of the dietary surveys showed a fair correlation (r = 0.59; p less than 0.01) with plasma caffeine levels, but the surveys are best regarded as a basis for counseling rather than an accurate estimate of intake.

Dilatation and curettage.

A retrospective study was undertaken in which the histopathology reports on 1,000 specimens of endometrial curettings were reviewed in order to assess the value of pathological examination of the endometrium. In this series the reports were of use in only one-half of the specimens submitted. A seemingly high proportion of specimens was unsuitable for histological assessment. The main factors contributing to the pathologist's inability to provide a useful report appear to be inadequacy of the specimen and a lack of information regarding the clinical and menstrual history. Alternative methods of endometrial sampling are also briefly reviewed.
