Video display system for fetal and maternal monitoring.

Signals from different fetal and maternal monitoring equipment were combined in a video system. Analogue curves and digital figures were displayed on the same screen and included warning signals. Sweeps for different curves are selected individually. It is possible to show fast and slow changing parameters on the same screen. The system has great flexibility and signals from equipment from different manufacturers may be added easily.

Course in basic sexology for medical students.

The present article describes the pilot course in basic sexology for medical students. The duration of the course was 5 days (35 hours). The themes-sex and gender, sexual physiology, contraception, sexual inadequacy, sexual deviations, and sexual counselling-were approached from many different angles. The teaching procedure comprised lectures, group work, and group discussions, internal television, films, plenary discussions, and debates. The course was evaluated by means of the sex knowledge and attitude test (SKAT) given before and after the course. Furthermore an evaluation was given by the students, by a professional teacher, and by a paramedical evaluator at the end of the course. The results showed significant changes in attitudes and knowledge.

A study of comparative efficacy of oral prostaglandin E2 as liquid formulation and tablets for induction of labour.

16 patients were treated with prostaglandin E2 tablets and 15 patients with the liquid formulation. Seven of the patients who received tablets delivered vaginally within 24 houres (44%). In the group treated with the liquid formulation eight patients delivered within 24 hours (53%). Only three patients had severe side effects from the alimentary tract, but in all cases the treatment could be continued. No serious side effects were observed. As no significant difference between the tablets and liquid formulations was found, with regard to tolerance and efficacy, the tablets are recommended because they need no special preparation before use.

Prostaglandin F2alpha and oxytocin compared with hypertonic saline and oxytocin for the induction of second trimester abortion.

Second trimester abortion was induced in a randomized investigation using a single dose of prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha) in combination with oxytocin in one group of patients, and hypertonic saline (20%) in combination with oxytocin in another group of patients. Oxytocin was administered in order to induce a rapid abortion, and was given intravenously in a glucose drip (100 I.U. oxytocin added to 1 litre of 5% glucose). Administration rate was 10 I.U./hour. The PG-group consisted of 16 patients. The mean induction-abortion interval for this group was 14.2 hours, and all patients aborted within 24 hours. In three cases the bleeding exceeded 200 ml. In one of these cases infection occurred. Only mild side effects occurred. The saline group also consisted of 16 patients. The mean induction-abortion interval in this group was 21.5 hours. Eleven patients aborted within 24 hours. In two cases the bleeding exceeded 200 ml. No side effects occurred. Intraamniotic instillation of PGF2alpha seems to be a good alternative to hypertonic saline for termination of second trimester pregnancies.
