Placental histopathology of midtrimester termination.

Placentas spontaneously passed after second-trimester terminations of pregnancy using either hypertonic sodium chloride or hyperosmolar urea plus prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha) were examined to determine histologic characteristics. The placentas of hypertonic sodium chloride terminations demonstrated a type of "coagulation necrosis" that has been described previously, while placentas of pregnancies terminated by hyperosmolar urea plus PGF2alpha showed a similar pattern in about one half the cases but a histologic pattern of less severe damage in the remaining cases. The 2 groups showed no significant differences when characteristics such as injection-abortion interval or estimated hypertonicity of the fluid were examined.

Local alcohol injection of the vulva: discussion of 35 cases.

During the past 20 years the senior author has, in selected cases, used alcohol injection of the anogenital area for the treatment of intractable pruritus. The initial experience of this treatment in 30 cases that had failed to respond to other appropriate local therapy was reported 6 years ago. During the past 5 years an additional 35 procedures have been performed. The results are similar to those reported previously and indicate that if the cases are carefully selected and have had appropriate but unsuccessful conservative treatment, the results of alcohol injection may prove to be satisfactory.

Pregnancy success following abdominal myomectomy for infertility.

There were 46 patients with primary infertility (34 patients) or secondary infertility (12 patients) with no other detectable cause except myomas. After myomectomy, 38% of the patients with primary infertility had full-term pregnancies and 50% of those with secondary infertility. Preoperative distortion of the endometrial cavity was not impressively correlated with the postoperative prognosis.

The effect of magnesium sulfate on fetal heart rate baseline variability.

Variability of the baseline fetal heart rate is correlated with good fetal outcome, and loss of baseline variability has been observed as a sign of fetal distress. Central nervous system depressing drugs may also decrease fetal heart rate variability, and thus recognition of the effect of medication on the baseline fetal heart rate is important for accurate interpretation of fetal monitor tracings. In the cases reported, marked decrease in fetal heart rate variability was observed within 4 minutes of intravenous administration of magnesium sulfate, and fetal outcome was good in all cases.
