Embryotoxicity of micropore filters used in liquid sterilization.
Microfiltration is the usual method of sterilization of tissue culture media. The filtrates of eight commercial filters were tested for embryotoxicity using mouse embryo growth. Four of five disk filters tested showed embryo-toxicity in the first 5 ml of filtrate and the three larger-capacity filters showed embryotoxicity for up to the first 10 ml of filtrate. The ethylene oxide-sterilized filters appeared to give poorer results than the gamma-irradiated filters. The importance of discarding the initial filtrate or preflushing such filters before use is emphasized.

Ectopic pregnancy: a review of 113 selected cases.
One hundred and thirteen selected cases of ectopic pregnancy were analyzed to clarify the diagnostic and therapeutic factors. The incidence of this condition was higher in "ward" patients and in the Negro. Salpingitis was the commonest etiological factor. The common symptoms were pain, a missed period, vaginal bleeding, faintness, nausea and vomiting, and shoulder pain. The common signs were abdominal tenderness, a positive "chandelier sign", rebound tenderness, a pelvic mass and pallor. Fertility of the women in this series was equal to that of women in the general population of the same age group. The frog (pregnancy) test was the only significant laboratory test. Colpocentesis proved very helpful, whereas dilatation and curettage did not. Conservative operation, consisting of salpingectomy plus a uterine wedge, was recommended for tubal pregnancy and was performed in 107 patients. The ovary was removed only if involved. Interstitial pregnancies were treated by removal of the corneal portion of the uterus and by salpingectomy, rather than hysterectomy; this procedure was successful in four out of four patients. Incidental appendectomy is not recommended.
