[Continuous extra-amniotic intracavitary application of prostaglandin F2 alpha for medicamentous induction of labour in high-risk cases of pregnancy interruption].

Reported in the paper is continuous extra-amniotic application of Prostaglandin F2 alpha (PG F2 alpha) to 70 juvenile primigravidae for termination of pregnancy. Successful priming was achieved in 54 patients after three and a half hours of induction, following administration of an average induction dose of 3 mg PG F2 alpha. Induced abortion was "incomplete or retained" and, therefore, stopped in 16 cases. An account is given of advantages of the above approach over intermittent intra-uterine application. The technique described in this paper was found to be suitable and commendable for minimizing of side-effects and risk as well as for better and individual controllability. It has also proved to reduce the variety of contra-indications to prostaglandin induction for patients with pre-existing diseases. Continuous intracavitary induction of labour may be considered as a justified alternative to the risks implied in other techniques of interruption.

[Prospective studies on pregnancy following induced and spontaneous abortion of primigravidae and assessment of fertility. IV. report].

Prospects for imminent and spontaneous abortion were studied in three groups of probands. These included secundigravidae following induced abortion, secundigravidae after spontaneous abortion, and primigravidae. --Chronological distribution of abortion was determined for two periods of time, up to the 16th week of pregnancy and between the 17th and 27th weeks of pregnancy. Reference is made to correlations between abortion and cervical insufficiency. Poor prognosis in a group with a record of spontaneous abortions was compared with accumulation of functional bleeding in the same group. --An account is given also of the incidence of defective infants in all three groups, in the context of prematurity.

[Tubal factors as possible causes of sterility or infertility of primigravidae, following therapeutic abortion (author's transl)].

A screening test was applied to 136 primigravidae, between six months and one year following therapeutic abortion, to check tubal patency, using pertubation, according to Semm. --The methodical errors involved were compared and checked by laparoscopy with chromopertubation. --Reference is made to effects of age at the time of abortion, week of pregnancy, and technique of abortion. --Complete tubal occlusion, as a secondary cause of secondary sterility in the wake of therapeutic abortion, was recorded from 2.96 per cent of the above primigravidae. The rate of tubal infertility (tubal abortion or extra-uterine gravidity) was not significantly increased beyond the figures of other patients (0.96 per cent of all primigravidae, following therapeutic abortion). --Derived from the above results are recommendations for techniques of abortion which should be used on primigravidae.

[Clinical experience from transcervical intra-amnionic hypertonic saline instillation for termination of pregnancy in second trimester].

Transcervical intra-amnionic hypertonic saline instillation was used and tested for its practicability on pregnant women in the second trimester with contra-indications to prostaglandins. The pregnancies were terminated without any remarkable complication, under most stringent observation of aseptic conditions, careful cleaning of the birth canal, and preventive use of broad-range antibiotics. Immediate morbidity accounted for 4.35 per cent. Hence, the technique was not inferior to other approaches, when reference was made to negative outcome of termination. No late morbidity was recorded by clinical follow-up checks. Once the method will be verified by a higher number of patients and further improved, for example, by reducing the time required for induction, it may become a readily practicable and inexpensive variant of termination in the second trimester.

[Prospective studies into pregnancies of primiparae with record of therapeutic termination of previous pregnancies or of spontaneous abortion and assessment of fertility. First communication (author's transl)].

A comparison was made between 535 primiparae with a record of therapeutic termination of previous pregnancies, 305 primiparae with previous abortion, and 501 primiparae without any record of spontaneous or medically induced abortion, all of these being compared for their prepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum phases as well as the conditions of their children delivered in their first intrapartum, and postpartum phases as well as the conditions of their children delivered in their first full-term pregnancy.--Significant accumulation of spontaneous abortions, bleeding in the first and second thirds of pregnancy, as well as postpartum complications were recordable from women with record of induced or spontaneous abortions, in comparison with primigravid primiparae. All probands with record of previous termination of pregnancies exhibited a trend towards premature births, yet, with no significant accumulation of these. Significantly increased use of therapeutic and prophylactic measures, such as cerclage and tocolysis, should be taken into due consideration, in that context.

[Prospective studies into pregnancies of primiparae with record of therapeutic termination of previous pregnancies or of spontaneous abortion and assessment of fertility. Second communication (author's transl)].

Three groups of probands (conditions following induced or spontaneous abortion and primigravid primiparae) were compared for duration of pregnancy, birth weights, and occurrence of premature births, all against the normal percentiles, was not recordable from newborns whose mothers had undergone abortions during their first gravidity. Very moderate accumulation of foetuses with birth weights of 2,000 g or below was attributed to a general increase in the number of premature births in lower weight classes. Yet, the number of women with record of induced abortion who reached the percentile values, depending on duration of pregnancy, was higher than that of women who had never been pregnant before.

[Measurement of intrauterine pressure during extra-amnial induced abortion with prostaglandin F2 alpha].

There was given Pg F2 alpha extraamnially and intracavitary to thirty firstgravid nulliparae of the eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth or fourteenth week of pregnancy and there were taken through measurements of the intrauterine pressure in labour. The uterine activity was measured in Montevideo-Units. We registered labour duration, number of labours, amplitude and basal tonus. During the time of observation we attained a basal tonus of 30 +/- 10 mm Hg, a number of labours from 8 to 13 within 10 minutes, Montevideo-Units of 600 +/- 100 and a labour duration of about 45 seconds in 65% of the cases. The types of labour number 1 and 2 were predominant. In these cases we were able to demonstrate optimal clinical results in cases of Pg F2 alpha induction.--The meaning of Pg F2 alpha (extraamnially) for the induction of abortion will be discussed.

[Abortion induced by prostaglandin F 2 alpha in risk patients].

For 245 cases of risk the intermittend extraamnial Prostaglandin F 2 alpha application was used for medicamentous dilatation of the cervix when carrying out the legal abortion in the I. trimenon. The low morbidity rate of 3% in cases of legal abortion as well as the preventive method of dilatation are able to prevent disturbances of fertility. Especially for all the young primigravidae we hope for a diminution of the cervix insufficiencies in the following desired gravidity.--In contrast to this, the danger of bacterial contamination as well as the burden onto the cervix' holding and supporting function up to the complete abortion are much higher with Prostaglandininductions.--The low doses of 3 mg Prostaglandin F 2 alpha for medicamentous dilatation of the cervix and economical advantages let this method be recommended as a method of selection for cases of legal abortion with risk.

[Effect of abortion on subsequent fertility with special reference to the abortion process].

UNLABELLED: The influence of a first gravida's legal abortion to the later reproduction was researched on 406 patients in the age between 13 up to 18 years-- RESULT: The rate of abortion and premature birth is significantly increased at subsequent pregnancies when there took place an interruption of the first gravidity.--About 70% of the coming gravidities following an interruption of the first gravidity deliver in the time between 37. up to 39. week of pregnancy.--Premature births having a birth weight below 2500 g are found in 10,17% of the cases compared with a control group showing 5,45%.

[Clinical results of two-time abortion technics with special regard to ascending genital infections].

If risk of the one-time mechanical dilatation will be too high (with young first gravidae and progressed pregnancy) the methods of the two-time interruptio should be applied. As long as there will not be available sufficient quantities of Prostaglandin-analoga the present method of choice is the abort-induction by means of the extra-amnial application of Prostaglandin F2alpha. In 101 cases when extra-amnial Pg F2alpha with an average induction time of four hours, the contamination rate was checked and no danger of ascension appeared. If prostaglandines will not be available, metranoicter or laminarias should be applied in the first trimenon when there is a high risk of dilatation, in the second trimenon extra-amnial instillation methods should be used. In both the cases only can be spoken of interruptios low if risks of they are made up under guard of broad spectrum antibiotics--after negative proof of blastomyces (buddings). This recommendation results from microbiological researches made up with 423 patients under the aspect of possible hospital infections. With induction times longer than 18 hours, the cavum uteri proved accelerating contaminated microbially. There were found microbes in the cavum uteri respectively at laminarias and metranoicters of, enterobacteria (45,7%), staphylococci (24,7%), hemolyzing and anhemolytic streptococci (17,6%), enterococci (8,0%), Corynebacteria (3,0%) and blastomyces (buddings) (1,0%).

[Behavior of blood pressure during pregnancy].

In 948 women of the blood-pressure behaviour was registered weekly, from the 12. up to the 42. week of normal pregnancy. The normal range is stated with the single and double dissemination of the blood-pressure values; depending from the number of weeks being pregnant, and dessignation and meening to the pathological behaviour are represented. Desides, the frequency of various course-types of the blood-pressure during pregnancy is given, their possible meaning being discussed. For this purpose, 1337 single courses of the blood-pressure behaviour within pregnancy were explored.
