Treatment of the ruptured uterus.

Three hundred and thirty-five patients with ruptured uterus were reviewed. The incidence of this condition is increasing, probably owing to poor antenatal care and lack of facilities. The most common site of rupture in the previously unscarred uterus was found to be longitudinal on the lateral aspects of the lower and upper segments. When the ruptures were in these areas, total hysterectomy proved to be best. Repair of the rupture should only be considered when the tear is simple, transverse in the lower segment, and in the absence of infection.

Carbohydrate metabolism in African women with twin pregnancy.

Carbohydrate metabolism was evaluated in 21 twin pregnancies and in 21 women with singleton pregnancies. The groups were matched for age, weight, parity, and period of gestation. A 100-g oral glucose tolerance test was performed on all 42 subjects. No significant differences in venous plasma glucose responses were found between singleton and twin pregnancies. The only significant difference between the insulin responses of the two groups was a lower plasma insulin concentration at 60 min in the twin group (P less than 0.03).
