Ultrasonic prediction of fetal mass.

A clinically accurate method for estimating fetal mass from fetal body parameters is reviewed. The abdominal circumference is first calculated from the anteroposterior and transverse diameters. This is used as an extra indicator of fetal age. By adding the biparietal diameter, these measurements are converted into fetal mass. From percentile tables the fetal mass at different stages of pregnancy and at term can then be predicted. This method was used on 101 private patients and the average error between actual and predicted mass was 210 g (6.5% of the birth mass).

[Clinical aspects of the anti-androgens].

The ongoing development and gradual availability of the new anti-androgens hold exciting clinical implications for the future. The biosynthesis and interchangeability of the sex steroids, the roles of the ovaries and adrenals and the value and interpretation of biochemical assays in clinical practice are briefly discussed. Because the anti-androgens are used primarily for seborrhoea/acne/hirsutism/oligomenorrhoea, the pathophysiological basis of this socially debilitating syndrome is discussed. The classification of the anti-androgens, their indications, side-effects, dosage schemes and results of treatment are reviewed. Finally, a summary of a possible clinical management regimen is presented.
