Hydrops revisited: literature review of 1,414 cases published in the 1980s.
TL;DR: This paper reviews 47 series of hydrops fetalis and 610 individual cases published since 1980 to derive guidelines for prenatal diagnosis and management.

Ultrasound-guided sampling of umbilical cord and placental blood to assess fetal wellbeing.
TL;DR: Fetal and maternal placental (intervillous) blood samples were obtained by means of an outpatient ultrasound-guided technique from a 33-week pregnancy with symmetrical intrauterine growth retardation, because the baby was delivered by emergency caesarean section due to inadequate placental transfer.

TL;DR: The outcome of the index pregnancy was studied to determine the frequency of neonatal thrombocytopenia and to determine whether neonatal risk could be predicted antenatally by history or platelet-antibody testing.

In Utero Exchange Transfusion by Direct Intravascular Injection in Severe Erythroblastosis Fetalis
TL;DR: This procedure involves the intraperitoneal injection of packed red cells to give transfusions to severely affected isoimmunized fetuses and the success of this procedure depends on the patient’s immune status.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fetal blood sampling and pregnancy loss in relation to indication
TL;DR: This study aims to assess the relation between the indication for fetal blood sampling and pregnancy loss following the procedure and the results will helpfully inform future research on this topic.

The management of severe rhesus isoimmunization by fetoscopic intravascular transfusions
TL;DR: The outcome in patients referred after 25 weeks' gestation was poor; neither of the two hydropic fetuses and only two of the four nonhydropic ones survived, which suggests the importance of early referral to a team experienced in the management of this problem.

TL;DR: If cesarean section is to be employed in ITP patients to obviate the potential danger of fetal hemorrhage with vaginal delivery, the use of platelet counts of fetal scalp blood seems to provide the most rational basis for management at present.

TL;DR: Preliminary results suggest that autoantibodies play a role in maldescent development and mothers of cryptorchid children tested during the first week after delivery have detected antibodies of IgG class, and this may be so.
