[Possibility of predicting intrauterine fetal growth retardation by a single ultrasonic examination (using varying standards)].

The paper deals with early prediction of fetal growth retardation and its severity in a newborn from single ultrasound fetal biometric findings (biparietal head size, chest and belly diameters) at week 20 of pregnancy. The prediction was made by employing the developed varying standards for these parameters as percentile curves and tables. A stepwise prediction of fetal growth retardation was proposed for obstetric in- and outpatient settings, which was presented as an IBM personal computer dialogue program. The positive diagnostic value of fetal growth retardation prediction was found to be 69.7%, its negative value was 86.9%. The paper discusses whether therapeutic measures and pregnancy length affect the efficiency of its prediction and stresses that the prediction is valuable for individual well-grounded tactics for pregnancy management.

[Chronic placental insufficiency: incidence and causes].

This population study has examined the incidence and determinants of placental insufficiency. Predictors of placental dysfunction were ascertained. They included somatic diseases, gestational complications, a positive obstetric and gynecologic history and a series of constitutional factors. Populations of primiparae+- and multigravidae at risk of placental insufficiency were identified.

[Nomograms for calculating the parameters of a system of recording intracavitary pressure through sounds].

The signal of the intracavitary pressure registered through a probe is, as a rule, distorted by fluctuations of the liquid column in the probe. Nomograms enabling the velocity of the sound wave and the own frequency oscillations of the measuring system to be found from the size of the probe, elastic modulus of its material and elasticity of the bulk of the guage are described. In this way a selection of probes to secure high-quality recording of the signal is facilitated. An example of a calculation with the use of the nomograms is given.

[Fetoplacental hormone complex measurements to predict fetal and neonatal viability in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus].

A dynamic follow-up of 79 pregnant patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus was carried out. Specific fetoplacental hormonal profiles were detected and analyzed in complex with glycemic levels, this permitting the authors obtain new prognostic criteria of fetal and newborn viability. The results helped optimize the policy of following up such patients and the developed prediction regulations allowed preventive measures aimed at improvement of the future baby health status to be carried out before clinical manifestation of fetal intrauterine suffering.
