Haemodynamic changes during the early puerperium.

Haemodynamic changes during continuous exercise.

A case of acquired haemolytic anaemia during the early puerperium.

Introduction Acquired haemolytic anaemia arising apparently for the first time during pregnancy or the early puerperium is an uncommon occurrence. Lillie, Gatenby & Moore (1954) described one such case in 4314 pregnancies, Lescher (1942), Bateman, Hutt & Norris (1959) and Jankelowitz, Eckerling & Joshua (1960) each described one case of acute intravascular haemolysis of obscure origin occurring...

Haemodynamic changes during retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy for phaeochromocytoma.

Surgical removal of phaeochromocytoma may be accompanied by acute cardiovascular changes. We report the haemodynamic changes in seven patients with retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy for phaeochromocytoma. Transient hypertension (systolic pressure (SBP) > 160 mm Hg) was observed in all patients during manipulation of the tumour, in two patients during pneumoretroperitoneum insufflation,...

Changes in biochemical bone markers during pregnancy and puerperium.

To elucidate the changes in bone turnover during pregnancy and puerperium, we measured serially the levels of serum osteocalcin and urine deoxypyridinoline (Dpy) as markers of bone formation and bone resorption, respectively, in 22 healthy women with normal pregnancy. Nineteen non-pregnant women served as control. The Dpy levels increased significantly at 16 weeks of pregnancy and remained elev...

Haemodynamic changes during high frequency oscillation for respiratory distress syndrome.

In a crossover trial left ventricular output (LVO), cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV), and resistance index (RI) of the anterior cerebral artery were compared using Doppler ultrasonography, in eight preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) during conventional mechanical ventilation and high frequency oscillation. LVO was 14% to 18% lower with high frequency oscillation. There ...
