689: Genetic abnormalities seen on CVS in early pregnancy failure

Abnormalities of glucose metabolism in patients with early renal failure.

Abnormalities of glucose metabolism and hyperinsulinemia have been demonstrated in patients with end-stage renal disease and may contribute to the development of atherosclerotic complications in these patients. In the present study, we investigated the stage of renal failure in which abnormalities of glucose metabolism develop and whether these abnormalities were associated with an increased pr...

[Misoprostol in substitution at uterine curettage in early pregnancy failure].

PURPOSE To evaluate the effectiveness of misoprostol administered vaginally for uterine evacuation in interrupted early pregnancies and the time between the administration and emptying correlated with gestational age.

I-41: Genetic Causes of Premature Ovarian Failure (POF) and early Menopause

Premature ovarian failure (POF) is a heterogeneous disorder, defined as menopause under age 40 years. The prevalence is 1%; POF before age 30 years is much less common. Chromosomal causes have long been recognized - visible deletions of the X chromosome, 45,X/46,XX mosaicism, and autosomal rearrangements (balanced translocations). Toxins or iatrogenic causes (e.g., chemotherapeutic agents) are ...

Treatment patterns for early pregnancy failure in Michigan.

AIMS We describe current treatment patterns for early pregnancy failure (EPF) among women enrolled in two Michigan health plans. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of EPF treatment among Michigan Medicaid enrollees between January 1, 2001, and December 31, 2004, and enrollees of a university-affiliated health plan between January 1, 2001, and December 31, 2005.
