30. Maternal weight gain in low-income black and hispanic women: evaluation by use of weight-for-height near term

Abstract

The health of infants is strongly related to birth weight, which in turn is associated with the mother's weight gain. Like low birth weight, suboptimal birth weight, 5.5 to 6.6 pounds, is associated with health disadvantages, although the problems tend to not be as serious. Preventive action is important in reducing infant illness and death, and this includes improvement of strategies used to assess maternal weight gain. Methods have been developed that evaluate maternal weight gain for particular gestational periods by standardizing it to weight-for-height ratios, with a total of 18.3 percent growth expected in excess of the prepregnancy weight-for-height ratio. This technique was used to evaluate the prevalence of low maternal weight gain among 325 low-income Hispanic and black women, and was compared with other guidelines for weight gain and birth weight classification. About half the women did not seek prenatal care until they were well into the second trimester, when interventions may be less effective. Prepregnancy weight was not available for 21 percent of subjects, but about 22 percent were estimated to be below 90 percent of standard weight-for-height, while 16 percent were estimated to be greater than 120 percent of the expected figure. Thirty-one percent of women did not achieve the desired 120 percent of prepregnancy weight-for-height within two weeks of delivery. Average birth weight was 6.6 pounds for infants born to women whose weights near the time of delivery were under the 100 percent standard of weight-for-height, while it was 7.5 pounds for infants of women who achieved over 135 percent of standard. More of the black women than Hispanic who had suboptimal weight gains had babies of birth weight less than 6.6 pounds, and this was likely related to deficiencies in prepregnancy weight for many. Comparison of weight-for-height standards with total pregnancy weight gain indicated that each measurement had particular advantages and disadvantages. Further comparisons of these techniques in populations whose prepregnancy weights are definite are needed. The study indicates that there is a high prevalence of suboptimal maternal weight gain and consequent suboptimal infant birth weight among low-income women, and the current data are likely to underestimate the extent of this problem.

34. Acute liver allograft antibody-mediated rejection:an inter-institutional study of significant histopathological features

Abstract

Acute antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) occurs in a small minority of sensitized liver transplant recipients. Although histopathologic characteristics have been described, specific features that could be used: a) for a generalizable scoring system; and b) to trigger a more in-depth analysis are needed to screen for this rare but important finding. Toward this goal, we created a training and validation cohort from 3 high volume liver transplant programs of putative acute AMR and control cases that were evaluated blindly by 4 independent transplant pathologists. Evaluations were performed on H&E sections alone without knowledge of either serum DSA results or C4d stains. Routine histopathological features strongly correlated with severe acute AMR included portal eosinophilia, portal vein endothelial cell hypertrophy, eosinophilic central venulitis, central venulitis severity, and cholestasis. Acute AMR inversely correlated with lymphocytic venulitis and lymphocytic portal inflammation. These and other characteristics were incorporated into models created from the training cohort alone. The final Acute-AMR (aAMR) score (portal vein endothelial cell hypertrophy + portal eosinophilia + eosinophilic venulitis / lymphocytic portal inflammation + lymphocytic venulitis) exhibited a strong correlation with severe acute AMR in the training (OR=2.86, p1.75 (sensitivity = 34%, specificity = 87%) and a second that optimized sensitivity at a score >1.0 (sensitivity = 81%, specificity = 71%). In conclusion, routine histopathological features of aAMR score can be used to screen for acute AMR on routine H&E in indication liver transplant biopsies, however, a definitive diagnosis requires substantiation by donor-specific HLA alloantibody testing, diffuse C4d staining, and exclusion of other insults.

38. Cognitive function and regional cerebral blood flow in partial seizures

Abstract

Impairment of cognitive function (mental awareness) occurs in patients with partial seizures. This impairment may result from the toxic effects of anticonvulsant agents and structural damage of the brain. However, neuropsychological (NP) deficits have been shown to occur in the absence of anticonvulsant drug use or brain damage. Studies have shown that patients with partial seizures, but with normal brain structure, may have physiologic deficits in brain metabolism and blood flow. Tomography is an X-ray method that provides detailed images of structures on a selected plane of tissue and can be used to measure blood flow and metabolism within the brain. Fifty patients with partial seizures and without structural brain damage were assessed by two forms of tomography. Abnormalities of blood flow and metabolism in the brain where detected in these patients. Blood flow was lower in the temporal and frontal regions of the brain when compared with other brain areas. In addition, brain regions with abnormal blood flow correlated with the location of neuropsychological deficits of the brain. The presence of neuropsychological deficits may be used to distinguish patients with blood flow abnormalities of the brain. (Consumer Summary produced by Reliance Medical Information, Inc.)
