[Clinical aspects and diagnosis of intrauterine growth retardation].

Low birthweight infants add to a great extent to perinatal mortality. Among this group children with intrauterine growth retardation differ from premature children with respect to their pre-, intra- and postnatal risk. Early prenatal diagnosis and monitoring is of great importance for the outcome and later development of these children.

[A critical analysis of the present state of recognizing the fetal hazard in pregnancy, via hormonal determinations (author's transl)].

The experience published in medical literature on the pregnancy hormones HPL and estrogens, is subjected to a critical review. The reported studies are examined in detail, first of all, with regard to the performance of the pregnancy hormones in fetal risk situations, taking certain pregnancy complications into account. The ranking of these paremeters in arriving at obstetric decisions in fetal emergency situations, is then described. This is followed by an assessment of the importance of the pregnancy hormones as prognostic parameters for forecasting fetal hazard in cases where pregnancy appears to have taken an uneventful courese, basing on few results available to date. All findings indicate that biochemical monitoring during pregnancy contributes toward individualization of the obstetric decisions.

[A mobile reanimation model (reanimationmobile) for initial newborn infant care].

A mobile unit for reanimation of the newborn is reported to be used alternatively in the deliveryroom or in the surgical tract. The following adventages are achieved: a large working plate easily accessible from three sides, a complete and variable instrumentation, an efficent warmth supply and the possibility for easy cleaning and desinfection.

[Life threatening infection with bacteroides fragilis in connection with Dalkon shield (author's transl)].

A case of severe peritonitis in connection with the application of a Dalkon Shield is reported. By culturing the peritoneal exsudate a monoculture of Bacteroides fragilis was found as causing agens. The general aspects of severe infection in connection with IUD, particularly the Dalkon Shield, are discussed. By analysing the reports in the literature it cannot be ruled out, that Bacteroides fragilis may to be a major factor in cases with lethal outcome.

[Nucleic acid and electrolyte contents in human endometrium during menstrual cycle (author's transl)].

An analysis of RNA-, DNA-, Magnesium and Calcium tissue contents was performed to have a base for functional studies of biochemical steroid hormone effects on nucleic acid metabolism in human endometrium. DNA and RNA showed a cyclic, paralleled course with a first peak in the preovulatory phase and a second increase in the late secretory phase. In contrast to the Calcium tissue concentration, which showed a continuous decrease from the proliferative to the secretory phase, an increase of Magnesium concentration in the preovulatory phase was found.
