No effect of single dose ofloxacin on postoperative infection rate after first-trimester abortion. A clinical, controlled trial.

In a double-blind stratificated, placebo controlled study the efficacy and safety of a single oral dose of ofloxanin (Tarivid) (400 mg) in preventing postabortal pelvic inflammatory disease (P-PID) in women with induced first-trimester abortions were assessed. The tablets were given 1 1/2-2 h before the abortion, and the women were followed one month after the operation. Group I consisted of 308 with previous PID. Ofloxacin tablets were given to 149 women and 159 women received placebo tablets. In the ofloxacin group 20 women (13.4%) and in the placebo group 27 women (17%) developed P-PID, a non-significant difference (p = 0.39). Group II consisted of 765 women without a history of PID. Ofloxacin tablets were given to 376 women and 389 women received placebo tablets. Thirty-five women (9.3%) in the ofloxacin group and 46 women (11.9%) in the placebo group developed P-PID, a non-significant difference (p = 0.26). A single oral dose of ofloxacin (400 mg) did not reduce the incidence of P-PID either among women with previous PID or among women without previous PID.

[Pelvic inflammation after induced abortion].

A total of 949 women referred for legal termination of pregnancy in the first trimester participated in an investigation to assess the risk of pelvic inflammation in connection with the intervention in women with and without previous pelvic inflammation in connection with previous pregnancies, the gestational age and the clinical experience of the surgeon. Women who had not borne children developed pelvic inflammation more frequently after legal termination of pregnancy (p < 0.01) than women who had previously borne children. Women with previous pelvic inflammation developed renewed pelvic inflammation, if they had not previously borne children (p < 0.01) or if they had previously undergone legal termination of pregnancy (p < 0.05). Women without previous pelvic inflammation developed pelvic inflammation significantly more frequently, if they had not previously been pregnant (p < 0.05). The occurrence of pelvic inflammation was independent of the gestational age and the clinical experience of the surgeon.

[Treatment with rectal diazepam or acetylsalicylic acid in effervescing tablets in ambulatory cervical curettage and biopsy. A double-blind randomized study].

A double-blind randomised investigation with placebo control was undertaken to investigate the effect of 10 mg diazepam rectally or 1 g acetyl salicylic acid as effervescing tablets on pain and nervousness during and after outpatient cervical curettage and biopsy from the vaginal cervix or the cervical endothelium. A total of 97 women participated and were subdivided at random. Three patients were, however, excluded as they did not participate as planned. No differences were found between the three groups as regards pain and nervousness during the intervention and fatigue and drowsiness after the intervention. No statistically significant difference was found in the degree of satisfaction with the treatment in the various therapeutic groups.

The effect of incisional plastic drapes and redisinfection of operation site on wound infection following caesarean section.

In a randomized prospective multicentre study of post-caesarean wound infection among 1,340 women in eight hospitals, the effect of redisinfection of the skin around the incision before skin closure and the effect of adhesive skin drapes were investigated. The overall rate of wound infection with pus was 5.0% (range 3.5-8.9%). The study showed a reduction in postoperative wound infection associated with redisinfection (P = 5.5%), while no benefit from adhesive plastic drapes could be demonstrated.

Carcinofibroma--a rare variant of mixed müllerian tumor.

We report a case of an endometrial neoplasm of Müllerian origin, consisting of a malignant epithelial component and a benign stromal component. Only 3 similar cases have been described previously. By comparative study of other, more common mixed Müllerian tumors, we have tried to determine the behavior and management of this neoplasm.

Sigmoid mesocolic hernia. Case report.

Internal abdominal hernias are uncommon. A case of sigmoid mesocolic hernia involving cystadenoma of the uterine adnexa is described. Symptoms from internal hernias are vague and uncharacteristic. Most cases are diagnosed at laparotomy for ileus.

Growth potential of cranial suture bone autografts. I. An experimental macrosopic investigation in young rabbits.

On 25 rabbit sucklings a coronal suture-bone graft was transplanted into an experimental unilateral premaxillo-maxillary bone and stuture defect. 21 animals survived the experimental period and were sacrificed fullgrown (6 months). The graft was found to be well incorporated into the recipient site in all cases, its structure being remodelled to a striking similarity with the unoperated side and the suture was still visible. Photographic measurement of the snout deviation revealed that the longitudinal growth of the grafted suture approximately followed the general growth of the facial skeleton. This indicates an up to 3-fold increase of the growth in comparison to its original cranial growth site.

Growth potential of cranial suture bone autograft. II. An experimental microscopic investigation in young rabbits.

On rabbit sucklings a coronal suture-bone graft, covered by periosteum and dura, was transplanted into an experimental unilateral premaxillo-maxillary bone and suture defect. In 21 animals microscopical analysis was carried out using triple fluorochrome vital labelling over a period from the 3rd to the 36th postoperative day. In another 7 animals conventional histological methods were used. The grafts were readily incorporated and during the second postoperative week longitudinal sutural growth was fully restored as compared to the unoperated control side and growth far exceeded that of the original coronal suture.
