Methods: Patients with diastolic blood pressure persistently higher than 80 mm Hg between 12 and 20 weeks' gestational age were randomized to receive either ketanserin or placebo. Both groups also got 75 mg of aspirin per day. The fetal heart rate was monitored once every fortnight from 28 weeks' gestation and weekly from 36 weeks onward. Recordings were made with the Sonicaid System 8000 and continued until the Dawes and Redman criteria were met.

The mean time to meet these criteria duration per recording was 16.9 min in the ketanserin group and 16.2 min in the placebo group (P = 0.83). There were no significant differences between the two study groups in fetal heart rate variability, accelerations, or decelerations before 38 weeks' gestation. Thereafter the mean minute range and short-term and baseline variability were significantly higher in the ketanserin group, and significantly more accelerations of the fetal heart were recorded in the ketanserin group.

Study Design: Doppler blood flow studies in 13 pairs of concordant and 20 pairs of discordant twins were performed from umbilical artery, middle cerebral artery, inferior vena cava, and ductus venosus. Flow studies were compared and correlated with the antenatal sonographic coiling index and the actual umbilical cord length, number of vascular helices, and birth weight. All studies were performed within 72 h before delivery. Pulsatility index (PI) values were calculated for the arteries and preload index (PLI) values for the veins. The umbilical coiling index (CI) was calculated using sonographic longitudinal views of cord vessels from several segments antenatally and by dividing the total number of helices by cord length (cm) postnatally. Discordancy was defined as a more than 20% intrapair actual birth weight difference. For all these index values the intertwin differences (Delta values) were calculated by subtracting the values obtained in the larger twin with those of the smaller twin. Results: The mean +/- SD intertwin difference in umbilical coiling index was 27.4 +/- 10.5% in the antepartum period and 28.9 +/- 10.0% after birth. Regression analysis showed a significant linear trend (r = 0.77, P < 0.001) between intertwin birth weight difference (DeltaBW) and intertwin coiling index difference (DeltaCI). A good correlation was found between DeltaCI and DeltaPLI in the ductus venosus (r = 0.63, P < 0.05), DeltaPLI in the inferior vena cava (r = 0.51, P < 0.005), and DeltaPI in the middle cerebral artery (r = 0.44, P < 0.05). Conclusions: Intertwin difference in antepartum umbilical coiling index can be determined by ultrasound and correlates well with: 1) the actual difference in coiling indices at birth, 2) the intertwin birth weight difference and 3) the intertwin Doppler flow characteristics in the fetal cerebral and venous circulation.</p>","PeriodicalId":79506,"journal":{"name":"Journal of maternal-fetal investigation : the official journal of French Society of Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology ...

Methods: 119 women, between 20 and 34 weeks gestation, in preterm labor with intact membranes, underwent transabdominal amniocentesis. Amniotic fluid was cultured for aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma hominis. Amniotic fluid interleukin-6 levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The placentas were examined for histopathologic evidence of inflammation. Where the birth weight was <2,000 g, transfontanelle cranial sonography was performed on the 3rd and 7th days of life for diagnosis of periventricular leukomalacia and intraventricular hemorrhage. Student's t test, the Mann-Whitney U test, likelihood ratio chi2, logistic regression, and receiver-operator characteristic curve were used for analysis. Results: 33 women were excluded from the analysis because they delivered at other institutions. The neonates of 33 women did not have sonography because they weighed >2,000 g at birth. Two neonates died before sonography was performed; four neonates who weighed <2,000 g at birth did not have sonography. In the definitive study group of 47 women, those with neonates who developed periventricular leukomalacia and intraventricular hemorrhage (n = 14) had higher median amniotic fluid interleukin-6 levels (42,795 pg/ml versus 8,020 pg/ml; P = 0.009), more positive amniotic fluid cultures (64% vesus 21%; P < 0.003), and a shorter median amniocentesis-to-delivery interval (16 h versus 24 h; P = 0.045) than women (n = 33) who delivered neonates without periventricular leukomalacia or intraventricular hemorrhage. The groups did not differ in gestational age at admission (P = 0.15), birth weight (P = 0.09), or histologic chorioamnionitis (P = 0.37).

Results: The activity of nitric oxide synthase was largely calcium dependent, although a small element of calcium-independent activity was observed. A stronger inhibition was shown with Nomega-nitro-l-arginine than with Nomega-monomethyl-l-arginine.

Optical spectroscopy is capable of monitoring changes in cerebral oxyhemoglobin, deoxyhemoglobin, and total hemoglobin continuously, noninvasively, and in real time. Methods: Five anesthetized and ventilated newborn piglets were injected intravenously with 1 mg/kg cocaine through a central venous catheter over 60 seconds. Cerebral blood flow and oxygenation were assessed by optical spectroscopy and standard physiologic monitoring: mean arterial pressure, carotid blood flow, cerebrovascular resistance, and arterial hemoglobin oxygen saturation (by pulse oximetry). Results: Cocaine induced a profound increase in cerebrovascular resistance, a decrease in carotid blood flow, and a decrease in mean arterial pressure and heart rate. Cerebrovascular changes were detected readily by optical spectroscopy (i.e. a decrease in cerebral oxyhemoglobin was associated with an increase in deoxyhemoglobin). The hypotensive response augmented the cerebral vasoconstriction effect on carotid blood flow. A good correlation existed between the changes in carotid Doppler blood flow and total hemoglobin in each animal and for all animals combined. Peripheral arterial hemoglobin oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry remained normal throughout the experiment. Conclusions: The cause for the apparent idiosyncratic hypotensive response to intravenous injections of cocaine is uncertain and requires further investigation. 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.</p>","PeriodicalId":79506,"journal":{"name":"Journal of maternal-fetal investigation : the official journal of French Society of Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology ...

The natural history of FSVT is evaluated in self-limited runs of FSVT without cardiac failure. Study structure: The fetal criteria for inclusion in the study are: gestational age <35 weeks, a normal cardiac anatomy, no severe extracardiac anomalies and a heart rate of the FSVT >200 beats/min. The maternal criteria include no prior treatment with digoxin or drugs effecting fetal heart rate and hemodynamics, and no contraindication to digoxin. Doppler fetal echocardiography is utilized for the diagnosis of the type of FSVT, sequential evaluation, and assessment of fetal hemodynamics. Fetuses are assigned two groups: Group I includes all fetuses with sustained FSVT and those with intermittent runs and cardiac failure; Group II comprises fetuses with intermittent runs and no cardiac failure. Fetuses in Group I will be treated. Group II will receive no treatment initially and will be observed. Treatment is based on a acute loading phase with digoxin administered intravenously to the mother for a period of 7 days. Doses are adjusted to through levels of maternal digoxin, maternal clinical condition, and electrocardiogram. If sinus rhythm is obtained, a maintenance phase follows with oral digoxin. Another drug, according to local experience and preference, is added to oral digoxin if digoxin intravenously fails to restore sinus rhythm and gestational age is <36 weeks. Post natal outcome will be followed by sequential clinical and Holter examinations. The data collected will be reviewed in a blinded fashion. The collection of the data for the protocol requires extensive information on the maternal, fetal, and long-term follow-up studies. They are detailed in the Appendix section. Expected results: We propose to obstetricians and pediatric cardiologists involved in fetal cardiology a rationale for the management and treatment of FSVT. Our expectation is to obtain a controlled study on a large number of cases at an international scale and thus provide a homogeneous maternal and fetal therapeutic strategy for FSVT.</p>","PeriodicalId":79506,"journal":{"name":"Journal of maternal-fetal investigation : the official journal of French Society of Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology ...
