Amniocentesis in the context of infertility.
The encounter with amniocentesis compels infertile couples to experience again the mix of adversity, uncertainty, and hope characterizing both infertility and prenatal testing. Findings from open-ended interviews of 38 couples, 25 infertile and 13 fertile, participating in an ongoing longitudinal field study of infertile childbearing and adopting couples suggest that amniocentesis both reprises elements of the infertility experience and interrupts elements of the pregnancy experience.
Beyond couvade: pregnancy symptoms in couples with a history of infertility.
Thirty-six couples with a history of infertility reported their physical, positive emotional, and negative emotional symptoms during pregnancy. The women experienced more physical symptoms than did the men. Both the men and women experienced second-trimester decreases in negative emotional symptoms and third-trimester increases in negative emotional symptoms. The women's physical symptoms also showed a second-trimester dip. Each symptom type was correlated for husbands and wives, but only 6 husbands showed evidence of couvade syndrome by exhibiting exact correspondence with their wives' symptoms. Symptom attunement appears to be a better term than couvade for most infertile men's experiences of pregnancy.

Expecting in prison: preparing for birth under conditions of stress.
When a pregnant woman is separated from her customary support system and placed in a high-stress environment, she experiences concurrent developmental and situational crises. A unique example of this is the incarcerated pregnant woman. A prenatal program developed to decrease the stress of being pregnant in prison is presented. The needs and concerns of the women are described. Nursing strategies are presented, with emphasis on practical interventions. Problems in implementation and ways to alleviate those problems are discussed.
Determination of metabolite and regulatory enzyme levels in Dirofilaria immitis and Ascaris suum: a comparative study.
Studies on metabolite levels in Dirofilaria immitis revealed similarities in several metabolites with those of Ascaris suum. The glycogen level in the filariid was however 3-4 times lower than that in A. suum. Levels of three regulatory enzymes were also determined in D. immitis and compared with those in A. suum. The activities of Hexokinase and Phosphofructokinase were similar. However, the levels of Glycogen phosphorylase b appeared to be much lower in the filariid than in A. suum. The subtle but important differences observed may reflect modifications of the parasite enzymes suggesting salient differences in the regulation of energy production from carbohydrates in the worms. The differences may also represent specialization required for the unique life style of the worms in their different locations in their hosts.
