TL;DR: It is hoped that more effective follow-up measures will improve the over-all results in the completed study, as shown by the many types of surgery performed and the various modes of irradiation employed in their management.

TL;DR: Pregnancy and oral contraceptives may predispose to venous thrombosis as a result of the decrease in venous tone and decrease of mean linear velocity of venous blood flow in the calf.

TL;DR: Six patients with rectal injuries died from complications of a stenosis or perforation of the intestine, and two patients with vesicovaginal fistulas later developed pyelonephritis which explained the death and to which the bladder injury may partly have contributed.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the phenomenon of smoking and its possible effect on health is very complex and it is desirable to pursue with vigor investigations aimed at elucidating the differences between the people who succumb and become habitual smokers and those who resist and never smoke.

TL;DR: It was concluded that even small doses of meperidine given intramuscularly to the mother can significantly depress the newborn infant, and that the time interval between administration and delivery is important for determination of the degree of neonatal depression.

TL;DR: There is a widespread illusion that treatment of corpus cancer confers almost universally, a good result but this fallacy is demonstrated when one analyzes data from a series of unselected cases of large enough size to be analyzed.

TL;DR: There has been mounting evidence in recent years that maternal erythrocytes may cross the human placenta and enter the fetal circulation, and Naeslund and Nylin2 injected ery throatcytes tagged with radioactive phosphorus (P) into 6 pregnant worn-en prior to delivery.

TL;DR: Certain morphological and biological characteristics seem to support the contention that this is a distinct type of ovarian tumor, and the possibilities that this tumor is derived from benign endometriosis and that in contrast to other malignant tumors of the ovary it provides a relatively favorable prognosis are pointed out.

TL;DR: A superficial appraisal of investigations since Mackenrodt’s time reveals a gross lack of agreement concerning the function of the transverse cervical ligament and varied conclusions regarding its structure, contents, and attachments to the uterus and the lateral pelvic wall.

TL;DR: This paper is concerned only with the vasculature, and is a preliminary study designed to determine whether specific gestational changes can be demonstrated by histological techniques.

TL;DR: The interest in early spontaneous rupture of the membranes and its association with neonatal deaths was aroused by the unusually high mortality rate in this group of infants at the University Hospital and Hillman Clinic during 1957 and 1958.

TL;DR: The condition is revealed most often by hysterography in patients with a history of curettage of a recently pregnant uterus or ahistory of repeated abortion and the prognosis for delivery of a living child is more guarded, though not hopeless.

TL;DR: The ideal therapy is a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, because it not only removes the diseased organs, but also obviates the need for further operation.

TL;DR: Data obtained from immunologic and biologic assays of trophoblast, pituitaries, urine, and sera of pregnant women demonstrate a similar pattern of production and excretion of human placental lactogen (HPL) as that already known for human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG).

TL;DR: The presence of many nonmotile and abnormal spermatozoa in cervical mucus 24 hours or longer after intercourse or insemination, in some patients, suggests the possibility that cervical mucUS acts as a filter, which prevents ascent of abnormal spermutozoa up the genital tract.

TL;DR: The possibilities of malignancy and complications warrant elective exploratory laparotomy early in the second trimester, and the types of ovarian cyst most frequently encountered in the pregnant women in this and other series were dermoids and cystadenomas.

TL;DR: It was found that uterine contractions prevented the entrance of the contrast medium into the intervillous space in three quarters of the cases and that in the remainder the space was poorly or only partially visible.

TL;DR: The incidence of respiratory distress syndrome in 536 infants consecutively delivered by cesarean section was found to be 8 per cent, and it was found that the incidence was increased three times at 31 to 33 weeks, seven times at 34 to 36 weeks, and 14 times at 37 to 38 weeks by cesar section delivery.

TL;DR: These relationships suggest the possibility that drugs, like electric currents, affect pituitary-gonadal activity by exerting a primary influence an the hypothalamus or some other region of the central nervous system, and the pituitaries and the gonads themselves are thus influenced indirectly.

TL;DR: A cytological screening program for genital cancer since 1949 has grown from a small evaluation projection in the first year when 900 patients were studied, to a large centralized diagnostic service in which cytological examinations on over 100,000 women were performed in 1962.
