Second-trimester vaginal bleeding: correlation of ultrasonographic findings with perinatal outcome

Article Abstract:

Vaginal bleeding during the second trimester of pregnancy may increase the risk of pregnancy complications, and ultrasound examination may identify abnormalities that increase the risk. Researchers evaluated ultrasound examinations of 167 women with second-trimester bleeding, and compared them to ultrasound examinations conducted on 167 women with normal pregnancies. Previous pregnancies and previous preterm deliveries were more common in women with second-trimester bleeding, and bleeding predicted a greater risk of preterm delivery and fetal or newborn death.

Profound hypotension and associated electrocardiographic changes during prolonged cord occlusion in the near term fetal sheep

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted to determine whether the onset of fetal hypotension during profound asphyxia is reflected by alterations in the ratio between the T height, measured from the level of the PQ interval, and the QRS amplitude (T/QRS ratio) and ST waveform. Elevation of the T/QRS ratio does not identify fetal hypotension during severe hypoxia, but abnormal waveforms in the recovery phase may indicate developing cardiac injury.

Risk factors for neonatal death in twin gestations in the state of South Carolina

Article Abstract:

The mortality rate in twin pregnancies is higher in blacks, teenagers, and women who received no prenatal care. Extremely premature twins will have a better outcome if delivered at a hospital that has experience with premature deliveries.
