Fetal cephalometry with pulsed ultrasound (A and B scan) has been performed in 35 patients with pre-eclampsia. A classification of fetal growth retardation was based on standard tables for newborn infants. The biparietal diameters were generally small in growth-retarded fetuses, both in relation to fetuses of normal weight in pre-eclamptic mothers, and in relation to the average measurements in a previously compiled group of normal pregnancies.
Abstract. The effects on the inhibition of lactation of quinestrol (one single tablet of 4 mg) and diethylstilbestrol (5 mg 3 times daily for 5 days) were compared in a controlled clinical trial. During a hospital stay of 5 days breast tenderness was more frequent among the patients who took quinestrol. During the first month at home quinestrol treatment gave less milk secretion and considerably less breast tenderness than diethylstilbestrol. A series of antithrombin III determinations in plasma was too small for definite conclusions to be drawn.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
