Outcome of pregnancy among women in anaesthetic practice.

A survey has been made of the outcome of the pregnancies of 5700 women doctors first registered in England and Wales in 1950 or later. Conceptions that occurred when the mother was in an anaesthetic appointment resulted in smaller babies, higher stillbirth-rates, and more congenital malformations of the cardiovascular system than the pregnancies of other women doctors. There was no significant difference in the spontaneous-abortion rate between the two groups. A pronounced effect of age on this rate was evident among all groups examined.

Self-checking the intrauterine device.

The self-examination habits of 155 women wearing an intrauterine device have been analyzed. One-third were persistently unable to find the tail. There was a loose relationship between the type of device, the length of the tail, and failure to detect. The more parous and those of higher social class were more adept at detection, as were those who examined themselves each month.

Long-term effects of laparoscopic sterilization on menstruation.

The menstrual changes after laparoscopic sterilization were assessed in 200 women and compared with changes after conventional tubal ligation. About one third of the patients after laparoscopy had longer and heavier periods, but those women who were using oral contraception before operation fared worst. The reason for the menstrual changes may not be due to operation alone. There was no significant difference between laparoscopy and laparotomy in terms of increase in heavy bleeding or number of days of bleeding.

Steroids in the assessment of prenatal development.

Methods for identifying the fetus at risk and monitoring fetal well-being as pregnancy progresses are now an established part of prenatal care in the Western World. In this short review the use of steroids in the assessment of prenatal development is discussed. The metabolism of oestrogens, progestogens, corticosteroids and androgens during pregnancy is outlined and the relative merits, in terms of usefulness and practicability, of urinary and plasma steroid assays are discussed.
