Journal Article
Hypothyroidism complicating pregnancy.
TL;DR: It is speculated that overt thyroid deficiency is associated with adverse pregnancy outcome related to preeclampsia and placental abruption and Thyroxine replacement probably improves these outcomes even if subclinical hypothyroidism persists.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnosis of birth asphyxia on the basis of fetal pH, Apgar score, and newborn cerebral dysfunction
TL;DR: Stratification of umbilical artery blood pH values, Apgar scores, and combinations of these dependent variables in relation to newborn clinical outcomes revealed that infants must be severely depressed at delivery before birth asphyxia can be reliably diagnosed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cesarean delivery: a randomized trial of epidural versus patient-controlled meperidine analgesia during labor.
Shiv K. Sharma,J. Elaine Sidawi,Susan M. Ramin,Michael J. Lucas,Kenneth J. Leveno,F. Gary Cunningham +5 more
TL;DR: Evaluating the effects of epidural analgesia on the rate of cesarean deliveries by providing a suitable alternative: patient-controlled intravenous analgesia found it not associated with increased numbers of cedarean delivery when compared with a suitableAlternative method of analgesia.
Journal Article
Myocardial infarction during pregnancy: a review.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the increasing cardiovascular stresses of late pregnancy, especially when intensified by parturition, seriously compromise women with ischemic heart disease and efforts should be made to limit myocardial oxygen demand/consumption throughout pregnancy, and particularly during parturitions.
Journal ArticleDOI
A prospective comparison of selective and universal electronic fetal monitoring in 34,995 pregnancies
Kenneth J. Leveno,F. Gary Cunningham,Sheryl D. Nelson,Micki Roark,M. Lynne Williams,David S. Guzick,Sharon Dowling,Charles R. Rosenfeld,Ann Buckley +8 more
TL;DR: The effects of using intrapartum electronic fetal monitoring in all pregnancies is investigated, as compared with using it only in cases in which the fetus is judged to be at high risk.
