volume, and total lung capacity.5 Any reduction in pulmonary mechanical efficiency must be avoided in respiratory failure, and controlled use of carbimazole may permit a fall in basal metabolic oxygen requirement but with thyroid function remaining within the normal range. Carbimazole would seem suitable for a double-blind controlled trial of treatment in chronic irreversible respiratory failur...

Prenatal care is more than just health care in pregnancy. For the vast majority of women, pregnancy follows a routine course. Some women, however, have medical difficulties related to their health or the health of their baby. These women experience what is called a high-risk pregnancy. A pregnancy may be considered high-risk for a variety of reasons. Some of these include: diabetes, preeclampsi...

We have developed a Bayesian version of our likelihood-based Markov chain Monte Carlo genealogy sampler LAMARC and compared the two versions for estimation of theta = 4N(e)mu, exponential growth rate, and recombination rate. We used simulated DNA data to assess accuracy of means and support or credibility intervals. In all cases the two methods had very similar results. Some parameter combinati...

INTRODUCTION recent studies have proposed the introduction of cell-free fetal DNA testing (NIPT-Non Invasive Prenatal Testing) in routine clinical practice emphasizing its high sensibility and specificity. In any case, false positive and false negative findings may result from placental mosaicism, because cell-free fetal DNA originates mainly from placenta. CASE WE REPORT SIX CASES OF WOMEN W...

Clostridium perfringens is a rare cause of intrauterine infection. There have been five case reports concerning infection associated with invasive procedures. We report a woman who underwent a genetic amniocentesis due to her history of chronic granulomatous disease. She presented to the hospital ∼38 hours after the amniocentesis complaining of fever and chills. Due to acute decompensation, she...
