Radioactivity was determined in the milk from 39 patients and in amniotic fluid, urine and placentas from 17 patients shortly after the Chernobyl disaster by means of a beta and gamma-scintillation counter. Elevated radioactivity (7.6 nCi/l beta activity and 7.4 nCi/l gamma activity) was found only in one sample of breast milk.

This study investigates the degree of effectiveness of post partum rubella vaccination, measured as percentage of true seroconversions. The vaccine used was RA 27/3. In the years 1983/84 the seronegative rate was 7% of the total number of births. The 270 seronegative women who had given birth during these two years had all been vaccinated post partum. 128 of them were controlled, and a seroconversion rate of 91.4% was obtained.
A fist-sized tumour was seen in a Caesarean section scar of a 28-year old pregnant Turkish woman who had been operated on three years previously. The tumour was excised during Caesarean section and diagnosed as desmoid tumour. Etiology and pathogenesis of these rare soft tissue tumours are discussed and the literature reviewed.
The influence of serotonine, a vasoactive neurotransmitter, on the spontaneous motility of uterine strips was investigated. A highly significant (p less than 0.001) increase of uterine activity was observed when serotonine 10(-6) M was added to the perfusing medium.
