TL;DR: The results suggest that the duration of infertility prior to surgery and the degree of endometrial involvement are central factors in the obstetric prognosis of patients undergoing conservative surgery for endometriosis.

TL;DR: It was observed that before fetal death in utero due to chronic causes, there is a definite decrease in fetal movements or cessation of movements although heartbeats are still audible, an alarm signal indicating severe intrauterine fetal asphyxia.

TL;DR: A numerical method for quantitating fetal heart beat-to-beat interval differences is introduced and appears to be valuable for assessing the status of the nervous mechanisms controlling the fetal heart.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of intrauterine exposure to stilbestrol in utero is considered. But the risk appears to be small, and the authors suggest that adenosis may be a developmental abnormality.

TL;DR: It was found that the majority of patients could undergo the procedure as outpatients and that local anesthesia was adequate for most patients, and the most serious complication noted was inadvertent electrocoagulation of the gastrointestinal tract.

TL;DR: An unusual case of tubo-ovarian abscess due to Actinomyces bovis associated with a metailic intrautcrine contraceptive device is reported and the literature reviewed.

TL;DR: The bacteriology of infections of the female genital tract in 91 hospitalized patients was investigated and Anaerobic bacteria were the predominant organisms isolated in 75% of cases.

TL;DR: A 25-year-old pregnant woman was found to have Cushing's syndrome at 12 weeks' gestation, and diagnostic studies were compatible with an adrenal tumor, and maternal adrenal function was confirmed postnatally via the standard ACTH Stimulation Test.

TL;DR: The study concluded that preopcrative radium allowed for a less extensive uretcral dissection and a reduction in the size of the vaginal cuff except in those cases demonstrating residual cancer in the hysterectomy specimen.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the experience at the Johns Hopkins Hospital with gastrointestinal complications conincident with 3600 laparoscopic sterilizations done between the years 1968 and 1972.

TL;DR: Five new case reports of autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura during pregnancy are presented and 80 previously reported cases are reviewed.

TL;DR: Two infants presenting by breech with severe hyperextension of the head associated with breech and transverse presentations arc were born, one by cesarean section and the other through the pelvis.

TL;DR: Exogenous administration of estrogen failed to inhibit prolactin secretion but was effective in suppressing lactation, thus suggesting a peripheral action on the mammary gland.

TL;DR: It was demonstrated that umbilical vein (UV) glucose levels depend on maternal vein concern rat ions and are higher than values obtained from the umbilicals artery (UA) (MV > UV > UA).

TL;DR: A miniature fertility control system for women has been developed which allows greater mobility in the delivery of family planning services.

TL;DR: The occasional patient with a FIGO Stage IA tumor of the mucinous type or hislologically low grade malignancy, can be treated with unilateral adnexectomy during pregnancy, and reevaluatcd for further therapy postpartum.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the effectiveness of using cryosurgery for office management of young women with severe intraepithelial neoplasia and found that it can be used as an alternative to conization or hysterectomy in the selected group of young, low-parity patients.

TL;DR: The high AFP level seen in the absence of severe fetoplacental dysfunction in this case may result from disturbed fetal liver function primarily associated with esophageal atresia or resulting from a disturbed circulation of amniotic fluid through the intestine to the portal vein.
