Congenital anomalies associated with hypothyroidism.

Seven of the 34 infants identified through the Welsh Hypothyroid Screening Programme have additional congenital abnormalities. Two infants have a previously undescribed syndrome, two have chromosomal abnormalities, two have congenital heart disease, and one has a myelomeningocoele. Congenital hypothyroidism often seems to be associated with other congenital abnormalities.

An open assessment of a new low dose oestrogen combined oral contraceptive.

This was a multicentre general practitioner study using a new low dose oral contraceptive, Ovamin 30 (ethinyloestradiol 30 microgram, ethynodiol diacetate 2 mg). Results showed a pregnancy rate calculated as a Pearl Index of 0.4. An analysis of bleeding patterns showed consistently acceptable cycle control. From these results it would appear that Ovamin 30 is an effective and well tolerated low dose oral contraceptive preparation.
