A study of circadian rhythms of estriol secretion in the third trimester of gestation complicated by gestosis and intra-uterine growth retardation (IUGR).

The circadian changes in serum estriol concentration in the case of gestosis (at 30-36 weeks gestation) and intra-uterine growth retardation-IUGR (at 28-36 weeks) were examined. The control group consisted of pregnant patients without placental insufficiency at 26-34 weeks gestation. No circadian rhythms of estriol secretion was found in patients with gestosis and IUGR, whereas such a rhythm was confirmed in normal pregnancies. The evaluation of circadian changes in estriol concentration in the third trimester of gestation may be useful when diagnosing chronic placenta insufficiency.

Albumin and packed red blood cells in the treatment of severely isoimmunised pregnancies.

The most effective method of treatment of severe cases of fetal haemolytic disease are intrauterine intravascular transfusions. In some hydroptic cases however, the administration of only packed red blood cells produces unsuccessful results. We found that albumin supplementation paralleled with PRBC injection significantly increases the effectiveness of intravascular treatment.

[Intrauterine blood transfusions in the treatment of severe serologic conflict].

Efficacy of the intraperitoneal and intravenous blood transfusions guided ultrasonographically was evaluated in severe cases of fetal hemolytic disease due to Rh conflict. It was shown, that survival rate of fetuses without generalized edema is two-fold higher in the group treated with intraperitoneal blood transfusions in comparison with the control group. It was found, that the proportion of erythrocytes containing HbA in umbilical blood of newborn is related to the number of intraperitoneal transfusions. One has to underline the failure of such a treatment in features with generalized edema. In such case intravenous blood transfusion is a method of choice.
