“…Recently, partially automated techniques have been introduced (Ua Conaill and Muir, 1968;Dixon, 1969), but the requirement for hydrolysis of oestrogen conjugates has been a stumbling block to full automation. The latest developments (Campbell and Gardner, 1971;Hainsworth and Hall, 1971) utilise the technique, first proposed by Ittrich, in which the Kober colour is developed by direct reaction with the conjugates in the urine in a manner similar to that described by Brombacher et al (1968) and by Howarth and Robertshaw (1971). By this means continuous flow systems have been devised which offer greater output and precision.…”

“…Plasma placental lactogen (Letchworth et al, 1971) estimated during each test was within the normal range (table I). Twenty-four-hour urinary oestriol (Brombacher et al, 1968) measured on 11 occasions from the 32nd week was also normal, ranging from 10-5 to 44-3 mg/24 hours. Glycosuria reappeared four days after delivery and glucose tolerance deteriorated rapidly thereafter ( fig.…”

55with acute myeloid leukaemia is of great clinical importance. Water intoxication may produce confusion (Kaye, 1966) and disorientation (Weissman et al., 1971)-symptoms which can readily be confused with the terminal state of acute leukaemia. Intravenous infusion can be hazardous inthese patients. Attention to the underlying electrolyte imbalance will lead to the correct diagnosis, which is reversible by water restriction.We appreciate the kind co-operation of Dr.

“…The urinary excretion of oestrogens in 24 hours was measured at the 33rd, 35th, 37th and 39th week of gestation using a modification of the method described by Brombacher ( 1968). After delivery the placentae were carefully inspected, and in three cases a thorough microscopic examination was performed.…”

A pilot study has been carried out with a new parenteral iron preparation, Ferastral®, in six pregnant women who had previously experienced side‐effects to oral iron. Patients were selected with only marginal anaemia and whose Hb‐concentration (10.3–12.4 g/100 ml) could be considered to be in the low normal range for pregnancy. Each patient received a total dose of 500 mg Ferastral, by the intramuscular route, but the single doses and times administration varied. In the study special attention was given to kidney and liver function, to placental function, and to side‐effects. At birth the infants were assessed by the Apgar score, and the placentae were examined both microscopically and macroscopically. At the initial Hb‐levels chosen and the Ferastral dose used, no significant changes were observed in Hb‐concentrations. Ferastral did not affect the values of the laboratory parameters of liver and kidney function studied. Placental function was unaffected, as shown by all oestrogen excretion values remaining within the normal range and the amount of estrogens increasing as expected as pregnancy progressed. Careful histological study showed no placental changes which could be related to Ferastral. In none of the infants were the Apgar scores less than 8. Concerning side‐effects, pain and discolouration at the site of the injection were observed in some cases.
