Induction of labour--a six year review.

A retrospective survey of surgical induction of labour has shown that induced patients had a lower perinatal mortality rate and a lower Caesarean section rate than non-induced women.

The ultrasonic measurement of fetal crown-rump length as a method of assessing gestational age.

The fetal crown-rump length (CRL) was measured by means of pulsed ultrasound, and the normal values between 47 and 101 days from the onset of the last menstrual period were determined from cross-sectional data in 253 patients. For any given CRL, the range was found to be within three days of the menstrual age with a maximum variation for a given occasion of three days. Detailed statistical analysis showed that the acceleration in the rate of change in the CRL was a constant and that the intrapatient variability, where measured, was low. A close correlation between the measurement and the date of ovulation was demonstrated in a further 40 patients.

Effect of oestrogens and progestogens on liver function in the puerperium.

A modified bromsulphthalein test has been used to detect alterations in liver function in puerperal women taking either a synthetic oestrogen, stilboestrol, or a pure progestogen, megestrol acetate. The oestrogen appreciably reduced the ability of the liver to excrete dye into the bile. It also reduced significantly the equivalent liver volume and the plasma clearance of dye. The progestogen did not have this effect. In so far as these results represent liver dysfunction they are due to the oestrogen component of the combined preparation.
