Sequelae of unrecognized gestational diabetes

Article Abstract:

Unrecognized gestational diabetes can lead to difficult labor, infants that are large for their age and birth trauma. Gestational diabetes is diabetes that begins during pregnancy. Researchers compared birth outcomes in 472 women with gestational diabetes, including 16 who were not diagnosed until after their pregnancy. These 16 women were more likely to have large for gestational age infants, difficult labor and birth trauma. This was true even in those who were not overweight to begin with.

Randomized comparison of intravenous nitroglycerin and subcutaneous terbutaline for external cephalic version under tocolysis

Article Abstract:

The efficacy and safety of intravenous nitroglycerin is compared with that of subcutaneous terbutaline as a tocolytic agent for external cephalic version at term. The results indicate that compared with intravenous nitroglycerin, subcutaneous terbutaline is associated with a significantly higher rate of successful external cephalic version at term.
