Intensive care management of Guillain-Barré syndrome during pregnancy.

A particularly severe case of Guillain-Barré syndrome occurring during pregnancy is reported. The therapeutic approach including plasmapheresis, ventilation, analgesia, sedation, metabolic requirements and heparin therapy is discussed with the consequences on foetal development and the early days of life.

Incidence of pathological factors not revealed by hysterosalpingography but disclosed by laparoscopy in 500 infertile women.

Hysterosalpingography and laparoscopy were performed in 500 infertile women. Results obtained by both techniques were compared. Taking into consideration only the tubal patency, the present study shows an agreement in 90% of cases. In total of 980 fallopian tubes examined, fimbrial conglutination was suspected in 79 tubes (8%) and diagnosed by laparoscopy in 154 tubes (15.7%). Peritubal adhesions with tubal patency are a frequent pathology (23.8%) and hysterosalpingography alone permits the diagnosis in only 68.8% of the cases confirmed by laparoscopy. Other additional findings by laparoscopy are frequent: endometriosis was found in 124 women. Isolated periovarian adhesions were disclosed in 48 women. The high incidence of unsuspected pathology is an additional support in favor of laparoscopy in each case of infertility.

[Laparoscopic sterilization with the Hulka-Clemens clip. Review of 215 cases (author's transl)].

The application of a modified Hulka-Clemens spring loaded clip to each fallopian tube is a real progress in the fertility control. The operation is quick and easy to perform. The method avoids the dangers of hemorrhage and the complications encountered with other sterilization techniques. The authors give the results by 215 patients. One pregnancy has followed the sterilization procedure. The complications are infrequent in experienced hands.

A new treatment of vaginal candidiasis: three-day treatment with econazole.

From an open comparative multicentric trial it became clear that econazole was an active and well-tolerated agent for the treatment of vulvo-vaginal mycoses. Combined treatment with pessaries and econazole cream seems to be worthwhile in order to isolate the vagina from possible Candida reservoirs or to hasten symptomatic relief.
