Applying the Intensive Care Unit (l.C.U.) Ap· proac'.1 t:) 0Jstetric_; requires a concentration of equipments, procedures and trained personnel that enables Fetal - Maternal indices to be evaluated in muc'.1 detail than the usual and conventional clinical methods.  This method is particularly appropriate for all obstetric patients identified as being at Risk.  These include women with :  -...

In a multidatabase system schematic con icts between two objects are usually of inter est only when the objects have some semantic a nity In this paper we try to reconcile the two perspectives We rst de ne the concept of semantic proximity and provide a semantic taxonomy We then enumerate and classify the schematic and data con icts We discuss possible semantic similarities between two objects ...

h is the most well-recognized blood group system after ABO, probably because of the dramatic presentation of a fetus suffering hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) following maternal alloimmunization to the D antigen. Even individuals not associated with medicine have heard of the “Rh factor” and are aware that it has some importance in pregnancy. The earliest recorded description of the synd...

By HAL CRAWFORD, B.SC., MARIE CUTBUSH, B.Sc., AND P. L. M0LLI50N, M.D., M.R.C.P. T HE DIAGNOSIS of hemolytic disease of the newborn is made by demonstrating incompatibility between the mother’s serum and the infant’s red cells, associated w-ith signs of red cell destruction in the infant . When the disease is due to anti-Rh itis not uncommoui to find evidence of serologic incompatibility, inclu...

Self-incompatibility RNases (S-RNases) are an allelic series of style glycoproteins associated with rejection of self-pollen in solanaceous plants. The nucleotide sequences of S-RNase alleles from several genera have been determined, but the structure of the gene products has only been described for those from Nicotiana alata. We report on the N-glycan structures and the disulfide bonding of th...

It was Ford' who first suggested that advantages and disadvantages, such as susceptibility to certain diseases, would be found to be associated with the human blood groups. Nevertheless, it was many years before practical work was started on the subject and only when Aird et al.2 had shown that a significantly high proportion of patients with cancer of the stomach belong to group A and of those...

CONTEXT With early discharge, many newborns have to be readmitted to hospital for hyperbilirubinemia to be treated, and this has been held responsible for the reappearance of kernicterus. OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether bilirubin levels in cord blood could predict neonatal hyperbilirubinemia that would require treatment, in full-term newborns up to their third day of life. TYPE OF STUDY Prosp...
