The pregnancy was brought to 34, 5 weeks of gestation with all six babies in good conditions and high birth weight (1200-1750 gr.). The effectiveness of early diagnosis, intensive follow-up, and elective caesarean section is discussed. Suggestions are made for the prenatal, intrapartum, and post natal problems connected with mulitple gestation of high fetal number.
4 cases of rebel ascites from advanced ovarian cancer, considered lost to chemotherapy, are treated with Leveen's peritoneo-venous shunt. Deterioration of general conditions for the ascites and progressive unaffectiveness of chemotherapy induced the authors to find better conditions of life for these patients. By the peritoneo-venous shunt life condition improved significantly; the patients were able to continue chemotherapy with good results; 2 patients are living more than 2 years after the shunt.
The Authors studied the trend of HbA1 values in 215 normal pregnant women and in 31 normal non-pregnant women (control group). HbA1 values appeared to decrease in the course of pregnancy, according to a parabolic regression. A minimum value was reached near 25 weeks. The levels of HbA1 in the last weeks were not different from the control group ones. HbA1 did not change significantly during post-partum period.
