This prospective cohort study aimed to investigate the relationship between developmental dysplasia of the hip and mode of delivery in 571 consecutive breech infants using a modified Graf's static morphological method to grade the severity of dysplasia. In this group, 262 infants were born by planned Caesarian section, 223 by emergency section and 86 vaginally. Taking all grades of hip dysplasi...

Pregnancy is poorly tolerated in patients with Eisenmenger syndrome (ES) with maternal mortality of 30-50%. Physiological changes of pregnancy decreases systemic vascular resistance that further aggravates the bi-directional or right to left shunt associated with ES. When it occurs with eclampsia, the morbidity and mortality are even higher. We report a case of 30 weeks pregnant woman with ES, ...

Reviews Cardini F, Weixin H. Breech presentation may be corrected by moxibustion. JAMA 1998; 280: 1580-4. Primigravidas with breech presentation demonstrated by ultrasound at the 33rd week were treated with moxibustion at BL.67 for 7 days, with a second 7 day course if breech persisted. Foetal movement was more active in the 130 treated with moxibustion than in the 130 controls (p<0.01). By the...

determine. Following two further episodes of antepartum haemorrhage, magnetic resonance imaging was carried out at 34 weeks gestation. Sagittal and coronal sections were obtained on a Picker MRI system using T1 weighted pulse sequences (sagittal TR 300 ms, TE 30 ms, coronal TR 500 ms, TE 26 ms). Figure 1 demonstrates the normal placenta on the posterior uterine wall, terminating just over 1 cm ...
