Fetal intracranial bleeding may be a cause factor of perinatal death complicating maternal epilepsy.

Knowledge of transitions during development allows for tracking of behaviors that may be necessary for the fetus to adapt to its in utero environment or prepare for its postnatal life. 3) Chaos theory and fetal movement: participants concluded that non-linear dynamics systems analysis models could be useful to analyze ``noise'' within a measurement system; better define time scales; and in...

Our study clearly demonstrates that optical spectroscopy might become an extremely useful tool for monitoring cerebral hemodynamics and oxygenation in cocaine-exposed fetuses and infants.

The pelvis is also severely deformed and contracted. The patient was a 40-year-old nulligravida. At the 33rd week of pregnancy, respiratory distress gradually worsened, and cesarean section under spinal anesthesia had to be done. In women with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, uterine expansion is limited. As respiratory difficulties increase, an early delivery may have to be done.

To avoid unnecessary cesarean section, the mother was administered propranolol hydrochloride orally. The tococardiography became feasible and permitted us to evaluate fetal well-being. The patient successfully delivered transvaginally a male infant at 40 weeks of gestation.

Conventional methods of identifying patients at risk of preterm delivery such as obstetrics history, demographic factors or evaluation of uterine contractions and cervix by digital examination show disappointintly low sensitivity and positive predictive value. In this review we describe new ultrasonographic and biochemical approaches that have been recently proposed to screen for preterm labor both in patients with intact and with premature rupture of the membranes. The ultrasonographic detection of a short uterine cervix and/or of a dilation of the internal os, expression of weakening of the lower uterine segment or cervical ripening, seems t...
