[The effect of low-dose pre-ovulatory progesterone administration on the outcome of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and intra-tubal gamete transfer (GIFT)].

The influence of application of low-dose progesterone 4 hours before induction of ovulation by HCG on the outcome of IVF and GIFT was investigated in a bilateral study. The number of patients was 38 from both clinics for IVF and 36 for GIFT. With a pregnancy rate of 35.3% and 17.6% of ongoing pregnancies per transfer the results of the study are much better than before. The rather low number of patients and the low rate of transfers relativate these results. After GIFT an elevated abortion rate leads to only 11.1% ongoing pregnancies following a pregnancy rate of 33.3%. The effect of progesterone supplementation on the LH-peak and the endometrium should be further investigated to find new ways to increase success of IVF and GIFT treatment.

[Early diagnosis of dermoid cysts in the treatment of sterility].

Two cases of occult dermoid cysts in sterility patients were reported. In one case the follicular puncture during a gamete intra fallopian transfer (GIFT) trial led to diagnosis, in the other case it has been argued by sonography. Early diagnostic and subsequent therapeutic possibilities were discussed.

[The role of anxiety as a psychological co-factor in invasive treatment of sterility].

To prove the importance of anxiety as a disturbing factor during invasive sterility therapy 87 women of an IVF- and GIFT-series were investigated by a standardized anxiety inventory. We could not find any direct relations between breaking off stimulation and a striking level of anxiety. The role of anxiety as a co-factor in the different kinds of sterility management will be discussed.

Adult

[Pregnancy following gamete intra-fallopian transfer (GIFT)].

In the present paper we will report on a pregnancy following a Gamete Intra Fallopian Transfer (GIFT). This is a 26 years old female, treated in our sterility dispensaire for a secondary sterility since 1982. All basic hormone levels were normal. The andrological examination of her husband showed an oligozoospermia stage 2. A following hormone treatment was unsuccessful. Stimulation, monitoring and laparoscopy are demonstrated.

[Pre-, peri- and postnatal factors in 419 handicapped children of a specific region].

A retrospective analysis was done in 419 children with handicaps, born 1966-1980 in a territory. In comparison with 419 children with normal development the following factors were found more often in the group with handicaps: Mother older than 30 years, brothers and sisters with handicaps, low birth weight, low placental weight, obstetric operations, vaginal labour in breech presentation, low Apgar score, neonatal reanimation, transfer in a children hospital, pathological reflexes in newborn, retardation of early development, bad social environment.

[Damage pattern in 419 handicapped children in one region].

Report about 419 children with handicaps, born 1966-1980 in one territory. 9.8 per cent of these 419 children have a severe damage, not able for education. 11.9 per cent have a moderate damage and 78.3 per cent a mild one. The mental retardation is combined with damage of senses, cerebral palsy and seizures. Frequency of children with handicaps seems to decrease in the last years.

Adolescent

[Results obtained from lumbar catheterisation for epidural analgesia for painless labour (author's transl)].

Experience obtained from 115 childbirths with catheterisation for epidural analgesia is reported in this paper. Reduction of labour pain was optimum with all patients.--The rate of CTG alterations and acidosis of foetal blood was not beyond that recordable from normal deliveries. The rate of vaginal surgery was increased to 14.8 per cent due to one patient in whom expulsion was delayed and the expulsion period thus prolonged.

[Programmed childbirth - methods and results (author's transl)].

Reported are 304 patients with whom programmed childbirths were introduced, between 1976 and 1978. A control group was made up of 100 women in labour who had been hospitalised for spontaneous onset of labour but then given slow drip oxytocin infusions for secondary uterine inertia. The parameters tested (time of labour, FHF behaviour, pH of umbilical artery, Apgar score, weight, length, and perinatal mortality) did not reveal any aggravated risk to mother and child. Programmed childbirth may be recommended as another important preventive step towards lower infantile morbidity.
