[AIDS and pregnancy. Management of the seropositive pregnant female].

The population of women, HIV positive, and susceptible to become pregnant, increases with time. Pregnancy must be contra-indicated in seropositive women. A termination of pregnancy must be performed in the first trimester and a therapeutic abortion may be offered but left to the mother's decision. Delivery must be carried out via natural passages in the absence of obstetrical dystocia. Nursing is contra-indicated. A number of precautions must be taken by the medical and para-medical personnel during obstetrical procedures.

[Endometrial hyperplasia].

Atypical and severe hyperplasia of the endometrium is often associated with a carcinoma and, on their own, present a malignant potential which requires a specific treatment, involving an extension of the indications for hysterectomy after the menopause.

[Sterility in North African immigrant women].

Sterility in North African immigrants does not differ greatly from the sterility observed in French women. The authors emphasise one particular difference: the frequency of genital tuberculosis present in 1/3 of cases compared with 6 per cent of the general population.

[Pelvic arteriovenous fistulas. Apropos of a case report].

Gynaecological arteriovenous fistulae are a difficult diagnosis and their aetiology is often difficult to determine. The surgical treatment is not always satisfactory and the prognosis can be transformed by means of embolisation.

[Current aspects of fetomaternal immunizations].

The authors study all of the possible forms of foeto-maternal immunisation (ABO system, D antigen and other antigens). They present a general review of the course of allo-immunisations since the establishment of prophylaxis against anti-D allo-immunisations and they define the current situation.

[Pregnancy and childbirth in gypsies].

The features of the gypsy population, including the conditions of their lifestyle, are very unusual and medical follow-up is very irregular, resulting in obstetric and neonatal pathology. On the basis of a series of 1571 pregnancies, the authors describe the disadvantages of these features which can only be improved by a reciprocal confidence between gypsies and the medical profession.

[Pregnancy and childbirth in the North African woman].

The obstetric pathology of North African women, which used to be fairly different from that of French women, is now tending to resemble that of the French population, as the customs of the immigrants tend to coincide with those of the local population, especially in the context of information and antenatal care.

[Genital prolapse. Apropos of a series of 220 cases].

On the basis of a series of 220 operated cases of genital prolapse, the authors describe the complications and classify the various elementary components of the prolapse (120 complete prolapses) and the associated lesions. The operative techniques are classified by category and the results are presented with a follow-up of two and three years. This homogeneous series demonstrates that the vaginal techniques are generally more effective.

[The labor test under epidural analgesia. Apropos of 87 cases].

Two series of trials of labour are compared: the first series without any particular analgesia and the second under epidural analgesia. The caesarian rate was significantly less in the second series because the trial of labour was able to be pursued for a longer period of time without any danger to the foetus. The authors consider that, provided cases of mechanical dystocia and maternal agitation are eliminated, trial of labour under epidural anaesthesia can result in a real cephalopelvic engagement.

[The elderly primipara].

From the analysis of 190 case histories of elderly primiparas, the following conclusions were drawn concerning their pregnancy and delivery. Frequency = 0.6%. The high frequency of spontaneous abortion (26.8%) and infertility treatment (20.5%) should be stressed. Age-related obstetric pathology in the sample group is dominated by the high frequency of toxaemia (32.4%), premature delivery (14.3%) and uterine fibromata (17.3%). Dystocia is frequent: normal, unassisted vaginal deliveries: 32%; forceps: 33.2%; Caesarean section: 34.2%. Neonatal mortality remains high: 5.2% as does morbidity (Apgar less than 7: 29.6%).

[Plasma levels of HCS and beta SP1 in normal and pathological pregnancies].

A study was carried out on 599 pregnant women from whom 2,991 levels were estimated of HCS and beta SP1 to determine their variations. The control group was of 400 normal pregnancies (1,770 couples of levels of HCS and beta SP1. The pathological population was in two groups: - non-complicated pathological pregnancies, from whom 510 coupled levels were estimated in 77 women, and - complicated pregnancies, from whom 711 coupled levels were estimated in 122 patients. This pathological group was compared with the control population statistically. The results conform to those that have already been published. This work shows two original features: - very high levels of beta SP1 and HCS ;are an index of the severity of the prognosis of fetuses and hydramnios, - a drop in the level of beta SP1 towards the end of pregnancies is a warning that fetal distress may occur in labour.
