Expectant management leads to successful vaginal delivery following intrauterine fetal death in a woman with an incarcerated uterus. Management of intrauterine fetal death in the second or third trimester of pregnancy in women with an incarcerated uterus is challenging. We report a case of successful vaginal delivery following intrauterine fetal death by expectant management in a woman with an ...

275+72 mg/dl, P < 0.05) and fetal glucose (64+6 vs. 274±47 mg/dl, P < 0.001) compared with salineinjected diabetic (D) mothers. Reduction of fetal insulin levels was also associated with maternal DIMIT therapy in diabetic rabbits (56±5 (D) vs. 24±4 ,uU/ml, P < 0.001). Maternal diabetes resulted in significant reduction of fetal lung weight (370+20 vs. 520±30 mg, P < 0.005) and lung protein cont...

Monochorionic (MC) twin pregnancies are known to carry a high risk of twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) that could lead to miscarriage and perinatal death. Demise of one fetus is frequently associated with co-fetal death. Fetal reduction by interstitial laser therapy is an effective procedure to prevent this outcome, but it may be associated with significant risks for both mother and fet...

background: in most cancer cases, the treatment choice for a pregnant patient is radiotherapy. in these patients, the abdomen is usually not exposed therefore fetus exposure is due to peripheral dose (pd). the purpose of this study was to estimate the fetal dose (the maximum pd in each pregnancy stage) for modalities available and to fabricate and evaluate a generally applicable fetal shield. m...

Maternal awareness of fetal movements serves as an indicator of fetal wellbeing and its reduction alerts clinicians to pregnancies at risk of complications. A reduction of fetal movements (FM) causes concern and anxiety, both for the mother and obstetrician, and is a common reason for referral to hospital. Decreased fetal movements affect up to 15% of pregnancies (Sergent et al., 2005; Heazell ...
