The successful treatment of a case of primary sterility resulting from Fredrickson's Type V hyperlipemia and panhypopituitarism.

Successful treatment of primary sterility in a woman having the rare association of panhypopituitarism with Fredrickson's Type V hyperlipemia is described. Replacement therapy with l-thyroxine, prednisone and a low fat diet cleared the patient's blood of the excessive chylomicrons and very low density lipoproteins. Ovulation was induced with human gonadotrophins, and triplets (two normal girls and a boy) were born.

Fracture and chemical composition of the deposit formed on the Lippes loop after prolonged use.

In order to confirm or refute the theory that there is the need to replace IUD's every few years due to their breaking, 26 Lippes Loops were tested. The sediment found on the devices was composed mainly of calcium carbonate. After removal of the sedimentation, it was seen that there was some corrosion of the body of the devices which caused a decrease in the IUD thickness. Pressure tests showed that an IUD which has been in use for a long period of time is more rigid, has less ability to deform and breaks under less pressure. It seems that the current medical opinion stating that IUD's should be replaced every few years, is valid.

Leukocyte alkaline phosphate determinations and urinary estriol excretion in normal and pathologic pregnancies.

A comparison of the results of two assays for monitoring fetal well-being in normal and pathologic pregnancies is described. Concomitant leukocyte alkaline phosphatase (LAP) score determinations and 24-hour urinary estriol excretion were preformed in the same groups of pregnant women from the 31st week of pregnancy onward. There were 45 women with normal pregnancies, 10 women with antepartum death, 8 women in whom the membranes ruptured at least 30 hours before the determination, 40 women with moderate or severe preeclampsia and 26 women with postmaturity. Determination of LAP score is an easy, rapid and inexpensive method which can be performed in every laboratory. The results are as reliable as estriol determination. Thus LAP score may serve as a valuable method for evaluation of fetal well-being.

Congenital malformations due to anticonvulsive drugs.

A retrospective study of congenital malformations in the offspring of 20 women who received antiepileptic drugs during pregnancy is presented. Of 56 births, 9 children (16%) were born with malformations. Four children were born dead or died shortly after delivery. Congenital heart disease, cleft lip with or without cleft palate, neural tube defects, and skeletal abnormalities were the commonest anomalies found. One child had a recognizable pattern of multiple malformations. The increased perinatal mortality was mainly due to congenital malformations and spontaneous hemorrhage. The teratogenic activity of anticonvulsant drugs is mediated by interference with folic acid metabolism, and such activity might be influenced by hereditary and environmental factors. Bearing in mind the importance of anticonvulsant therapy in epilepsy, there is certainly need for an investigation of the problem in a larger and more representative birth population than that described.

Cesarean section in a patient with a mitral valve prosthesis.

A successful cesarean section performed in a 24-year-old woman with rheumatic heart disease and a Starr-Edwards mitral valve prosthesis is reported. In the 33rd week of pregnancy, previous warfarin sodium therapy was discontinued and dipyridamole therapy instituted. Successful pregnancy and cesarean section in patients with mitral valve prostheses are possible with this regimen.
