The second stage of labour: durational dilemmas.

The optimal management of prolonged second stage of labour remains a confused area of thought and action. This confusion is particularly evident when epidural analgesia is also being used. A review of the literature indicates that prolonged duration of the second stage, i.e. from full dilation of the cervix until delivery, with or without epidural analgesia, has little adverse effect on perinatal outcome. More attention should be paid to the expulsive phase of the second stage and greater efforts made to reduce unnecessary interventions.

Microcephaly, holoprosencephaly, hypokinesia--second report of a new syndrome.

Two still-born males whose mothers were sisters are presented. The features holoprosencephaly, hypokinesia, microcephaly, talipes, and other contractures correspond to those in the two male sibs reported by Morse et al. (1987). We suggest that our cases now provide evidence of an X-linked rather than an autosomal recessive new syndrome.

Early manifestations of the Martin-Bell syndrome based on a series of both sexes from infancy.

A small series of male and female fra(X) positive children is reviewed retrospectively clinically and photographically to identify a profile of age-related manifestations and behavioral traits of predictive value. This method involves a crossmatch with the cases and trait lists in the POSSUM Data Base. The plan then is to test the sensitivity and specificity in a prospective series. If this proves reliable, a request for a fra(X) cytogenetic analysis could be limited to the clinically screened matching cases, rather than the present costly exercise of testing all undiagnosed intellectually handicapped children.
