Abstract

Total and unconjugated plasma estriol levels from the 24th to the 40th gestational week in 161 normal and 44 pathological pregnancies were studied. A lack of correlation between the two fractions was observed at the different gestational ages, probably due to the different rates of the several metabolic steps which condition the levels of the hormone fractions also in quite physiological conditions. The onset of pregnancy complications further modifies the ratio between the two fractions, as they differently affect the single metabolic processes which are essential for estriol to be produced, conjugated, recovered and excreted. E.P.H. gestosis and poor intrauterine fetal growth can be better diagnosed by the assay of total than unconjugated estriol: the total fraction proved to have the higher sensitivity, predictive value and relative risk and should therefore be preferred for pregnancy monitoring, as it better corresponds to the clinical situation.

Abstract

Ethical problems related to intensive care of extremely preterm newborns of ≤ 25 weeks' gestational age and at risk of disability have been extensively debated. The Bioethical Committee of the Department of Paediatrics of the University Hospital of Padua organized and started a multidisciplinary group to release guidelines to help staff facing problems related to prematurity. The vitality limit, survival, outcome, and ethical aspects were analyzed. Consequently, we suggest the following: at 22 weeks' gestational age, the deliverance of comfort care only; at 23 weeks, in the presence of detectable vital signs, the practice of immediate intubation, respiratory support, and a reassessment of the neonatal conditions; and at 24 weeks, the provision of intubation, ventilatory support, and cardiovascular resuscitation. If the clinical age and anamnestic gestational age are different, we proceed according to the more advanced one. The importance of providing parents with correct information and the role of comfort care are outlined. ( J Child Neurol 2004;19:31—34).

Abstract

Summary Background Results from observational studies suggest that caesarean-section delivery may reduce the risk of mother-to-child transmission of HIV-1 infection in comparison with vaginal delivery. We carried out a randomised clinical trial to address this issue and to assess the extent of postdelivery complications. Methods Eligible women were between 34 and 36 weeks of pregnancy, with a confirmed diagnosis of HIV-1 infection, and without an indication for caesarean-section delivery or a contraindication to this mode of delivery. Women were randomly assigned elective caesareansection delivery at 38 weeks of pregnancy or vaginal delivery. An infant was classified as uninfected if he or she became negative for antibody to HIV-1 by age 18 months or was negative for virus by PCR or culture on at least two occasions, with no clinical, immunological, or viral evidence of infection. From 1993, to March, 1998, 436 women were randomised. Findings We present the results of an analysis updated to November, 1998, with data on the infection status of 370 infants. Three (1·8%) of 170 infants born to women assigned caesarean-section delivery were infected, compared with 21 (10·5%) of 200 born to women assigned vaginal delivery (p
