[External fetal electrocardiography, the maternal effort test and the oxytocin challenge in cases of fetomaternal rhesus isoimmunisation (author's transl)].

The authors present seven pregnant patients with Rh immunisation. Four of them were of mild degree and three were severely inmunised. All of them had an exercise tolerance test as well as an oxytocin test to evaluate the fetal response to maternal exercise and uterine contractility. The classification utilized for evaluating the fetal response to exercise and its clinical implications are presented. It is concluded that the exercise test is of diagnostic and prognostic value regarding chronic distress during pregnancy and the oxytocin test may help to decide wether the fetus will tolerate the uterine contractions of parturition, and if surgical intervention might be contemplated if during a monitorized labor severe fetal heart changes occur.

Premature ovarian failure and hypothyroidism associated with sicca syndrome.

Two cases of premature ovarian failure, hypothyroidism, and sicca syndrome are described. To our knowledge, this association of sicca syndrome and multiglandular deficiency has not been previously reported. The finding of specific organ antibodies, as well as antibodies to nonorgan antigens in the 2 cases studied, supports the hypothesis that these rare clinical conditions may share a common autoimmune pathogenesis.
