TL;DR: A histological diagnosis of precancer does not call for immediate radical measures (total hysterectomy or application of radium), but for careful observation with frequent control examinations, if only the follow-up period is sufficiently long.

TL;DR: The number of cases reported in the literature of infants delivered of narcotic-addicted mothers, the symptoms reported, and the therapy given, and a thorough review of this subject is timely is felt.

TL;DR: In this paper, a study of 47 patients by a modified pulse pressure method, changes in cardiac output were recorded during late pregnancy, in labor, and in the early puerperium.

TL;DR: Disorders of the heartbeat during pregnancy are discussed in relation to published reports and experiences at the New York Lying-In Hospital in terms of medical and obstetric implications.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the higher air flow during pregnancy may be due to relaxation of the smooth muscle of the tracheobronchial tree, which would permit an increase in the lumen of the airways and hence less resistance to the flow of air.

TL;DR: A preliminary report is made of seven cases of septic abortion, associated with hypotension not related to blood loss, in severe cases a placental lesion characterized by bacteremia of the fetal vessels.

TL;DR: The experience presented here is small, and no final conclusion may be drawn from the study, but prompt surgical treatment is indicated in pregnant patients in whom subarachnoid hemorrhage occurs due to a ruptured berry aneurysm or arteriovenous malformation.

TL;DR: Results seem encouraging and suggest that Colloidal gold is of value in controlling formation of ascitic fluid in certain patients.

TL;DR: The inescapable conclusion that female sex hormone therapy gives added maternal and fetal protection when pregnancy complicates diabetes mellitus is based upon experience with more than 1,100 cases of diabetic pregnancies treated in the Joslin Clinic for over half a century.

TL;DR: The sigmoid nature of the normal cervical dilatation-time curve in the primigravida is definitively demonstrated and the potentialities of the instrument are outlined.

TL;DR: Definite and characteristic changes in renal function as measured by endogenous creatinine and uric acid clearances can be demonstrated in pregnant women with pre-eclampsia and in those with acute toxemia superimposed upon chronic hypertension, those with essential hypertension, and those with unclassified “toxemia,” when compared with normal pregnant women.

TL;DR: Many of the nuclei of the intermitotic cells from all of the fluids in which female infants developed contained the characteristic sex chromatin mass; i was not observed in any of theuclei of cells from amniotic fluids associated with male offspring.

TL;DR: Although there is an increased perinatal loss in mature infants delivered as breeches, this loss can be kept at a relatively low level if certain principles of management are kept in mind and if the obstetrician has had sufficient experience in the handling of these cases.

TL;DR: A report is given of 275 patients with intraepithelial (Stage 0) squamous-cell cancer of the cervix or cervical stump, who have had diagnosis and treatment in the authors' clinic during the past eight and one-half years to form an attempt to formulate how properly to manage the problem of Stage 0 cancer.

TL;DR: It now appears that the specific effect produced by relaxin may, in part, be dependent on the species, and the effect of relaxin and stilbestrol on the uterine cervix of the young, castrated sow is discussed.

TL;DR: Determinations of radioactivity in the blood plasma following the intravenous and intramuscular administration of the labeled hormone demonstrated a rapid disappearance of the free steroid from the circulation due to a speedy conjugation with glucuronic acid and rapid diffusion into body tissues, mainly into the fat compartment.

TL;DR: The wide local excision seems the most logical surgical approach to this lesion because of its infrequent appearance.

TL;DR: Application of hysterometry and hysterography to patients with menstrual insufficiency was helped in ascertaining the frequency of cases of synechiae not suspected before, and the endocrinologist must take this diagnosis into consideration and no longer ignore this lesion.

TL;DR: There is a striking constancy in histologic structure in most instances of stromal endometriosis; the tendency to monotonous similarity obtains in the primary tumor, local recurrences, or distant metastases, whether these occur promptly or are delayed for many years.

TL;DR: The incidence of gynecologic lesions in Manson's schistosomiasis although low is of more than academic interest and in a number of cases surgical treatment may be avoided if the condition is correctly diagnosed.

TL;DR: Re-evaluation of the routine use of knee-chest exercises in the postpartum period is suggested, as a possible explanation as to the etiology of this condition is offered.

TL;DR: Do's and don'ts which summarize the main thoughts upon the problem of the vesicovaginal fistula are listed, which are to be careful of the ureters during repair.

TL;DR: There was no correlation between the duration of amenorrhea and hypertension, but there was a correlation, however, between the hypertension and the height of the fundus uteri.
