A case of pulmonary edema during tocolytic therapy with beta-mimetic drugs is demonstrated. Isotonic hyperhydration is suspected as the reason favoured by oliguria and hypocalcemia. Diagnostic and therapeutic consequences are discussed.
The alpha-feto-protein (AFP) ist described on the basis of the available literature; its diagnostic use up to the present is outlined, and an immunological method of its quantitative determination is presented. The results obtained by quantitating the level of AFP in the cord serum of 50 mature newborns (-x = 9,9 mg/100 ml) are in good agreement with other reports.
