Incidence of preterm delivery in patients with previous preterm delivery and/or abortion.

Patients with a history of two or more pregnancies which ended spontaneously before 37 weeks' gestation had an increased risk of spontaneous labour and delivery in subsequent pregnancies. This risk was correlated with previous second trimester abortion and spontaneous preterm delivery but not with previous first trimester abortions. Patients with one or more pregnancies ending in spontaneous second trimester abortion or with preterm labour and delivery had a 38--43% risk of again delivering before term.

[Rapid radioimmunological test for HCG in normal and disturbed early pregnancy (author's transl)].

The clinical evaluation of a rapid radioimmunological test for HCG in serum showed that this method is as suitable as conventional radioimmunoassay or receptor methods in the diagnosis of normal and disturbed early pregnancy. Using a direct immunosorbent method total time requirements for the estimation could be reduced to half a working day. Sera of 314 women with normal pregnancies showed an exponential increase of HCG concentrations in serum during the first 8 weeks and thereafter steady levels for several weeks. As the anti-HCG serum used has only a slight cross reactivity with LH, false-positive results need hardly be expected in states of high LH levels in serum (menopause, polycystic ovaries, preovulatory LH peak). HCG concentrations in serum were clearly diminished in all pregnancies ending in abortion and in nearly all extrauterine pregnancies. Repeated estimations in early pregnancy enable a diagnosis of ectopic or disturbed intrauterine pregnancy to be made before symptoms of rupture, haemorrhage and similar complications occur.

[Antimicrobial therapy in pregnancy (author's transl)].

At the present time there is no medicament completely harmless to the embryo or fetus. Passage through the placenta probably occurs by simple diffusion. Substances with a molecular weight under 600, low protein binding, a low degree of ionization and good solubility in lipids cross the placenta most easily. The harmful effects of the different groups of medicaments are describedand the substances classified into those not particularly toxic, those which can only be used in certain conditions and those only to be used in exceptional cases. The treatment of the most common infections in pregnancy is dealth with in detail. Infections of the maternal urinary tract and amnionitis raise most problems. For the treatment of amnionitis, direct instillation of the medicament into the amniotic sac is recommended.
