[Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome].

The ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is the most serious complication following ovulation induction. It is assuming greater clinical importance now that the indication for ovulation induction is no longer limited to anovulatory women but expands to other infertility problems. In its most severe manifestation the ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome consists of massive ovarian enlargement with multiple cysts, hemoconcentration, ascites, and pleural and pericardial effusion. There is no specific treatment and a reduction in the incidence of this iatrogenic syndrome can be achieved only by preventive measures.

[Selective abortion under sonographic control in multiple pregnancy].

Selective embryocide was performed at 9 weeks in a patient with a quadruplet pregnancy. No complications occurred and the patient was delivered of healthy triplets at 31 3/7 weeks of pregnancy. This procedure may be offered to patients with pregnancies with more than four embryos.

Effect of artificial insemination with donor semen on the psyche of the husband.

It has been argued that artificial insemination with donor semen (AID) can be detrimental to the psyche of the sterile husband. This issue has been scrutinized on a larger scale empirical basis using four groups of husbands whose wives were either pregnant due to AID or were under AID without being pregnant yet or were pregnant without AID or were assumedly fertile without being pregnant. Psychometric data was obtained of the corresponding husbands. The results indicate that AID is no threat to the husbands of all groups. Infertile men do not seem to be a psychological risk group. Fertile men tend to reject AID.

[Twin pregnancy with operative removaL of one fetus with chromosomal mosaicism 46,XX/45,XO and term delivery of a healthy baby].

During antenatal amniocentesis in a case of twin pregnancy, a healthy child 46,XY and a Turner-mosaic 46,XX/45, XO are diagnosed. The parents wish for an abortion, with an attempt to save the healthy child. the affected child is removed by sectio parva in the 22nd week of pregnancy, and the other child is delivered by caesarean section in the 39th week. Our experiences with regard to the management of dizygotic twins where antenatal morbidity of one of the fetuses occurs are compared and discussed with two similar cases from the literature.

[Statistic evaluation of anamnestic and clinical findings in a premature labor collective of 245 cases].

245 cases of premature birth were compared from the point of view of frequency of aetiologically significant factors with 200 cases of normal birth. The perinatal progress of these premature and normal births was also followed up. It was possible to obtain statistical confirmation of the connection between prematurity and frequent occurrence of some of these parameters. Prominent amongst these are previous abortions and premature births, cervical insufficiency and malformation of the uterus, multiple pregnancies and anomalous foetal position, also placental insufficiency. Increased mortality and morbidity--including perinatal complications--were recorded at the same time. Knowledge of predisposing factors will in many cases make it possible to recognize in good time when pregnancies may be at risk and give adequate supervision and treatment where appropriate.
