Maternal and cord blood background mercury levels: a longitudinal surveillance.
Fifty-seven prenatal patients with no known exposure to the element mercury, or any of its compounds, were observed for change in whole blood total mercury concentration from the initial prenatal clinic examination through delivery and postpartum hospitalization. On hospital admission for labor and delivery, whole blood total mercury averaged 1.15 parts per billion (ppb), compared to 0.79 ppb from the first prenatal clinic visit; these levels represent a 46% increase and significant difference in maternal concentration of a substance previously recognized for its peculiar ease at crossing the placental barrier. Previous stillbirths, as well as history of birth defects, exhibited significant positive correlation with background mercury levels. Search of the literature of the last 5 years revealed no other report of cohort heavy metal surveillance throughout pregnancy.

Supine pressor (roll-over) test: an evaluation.
One hundred supine pressor (roll-over) tests were reviewed and results were compared with clinical outcome and the literature. The present study revealed statistical differences, except for test sensitivity, in a comparison of all pregnancies without a prior history of hypertension, with subgroupings excluding patients with history of or potential urinary disease and patients with a recorded elevation in blood pressure occurring only in the early postpartum period. This lent support to the lowest false positive and false negative rates observed, 46% and 27%, respectively, seen in the subgroup having neither history of urinary disease nor significant potential for renal disease. For this subgroup, sensitivity of the test was 60%. Data were combined to create a hypothetical situation and reveal maximal potential in test predictability.

The pregnant woman in industry.
The intent of this paper is to relate current thought in proper perspective to the mounting concern for the pregnant woman in industry. Embryo toxicology may demonstrate a need for lowered standards of exposure for the woman worker during a pregnancy. Lastly, a plan is offered to obtain data for comparison of female work populations which may or may not be exposed to certain, primarily airborn, contaminants.
