Five cases of asymptomatic maternal reinfection with rubella are described that occurred in England and Wales during 1985-8 and resulted in intrauterine infection. The criteria for diagnosing reinfection are described. In four cases the rubella contact was with the woman's own children. Two women had therapeutic abortions, rubella virus being recovered from the products of conception, and three...

currently exists and offers an agenda for further discussion of this problem and its solution. In the United States, termination of pregnancy is an explosive subject. Many books and articles have analyzed the major changes in our abortion laws. There has, however, been much less written about the development of English law. This book by Dr. Keown studies abortion law in England during the exten...

Termination of pregnancy was attempted with intravenous infusion of prostaglandin E(2) (5 mug./minute) in 52 consecutive cases. Abortion was successful in 50 of these and complete in 43. There were no serious side-effects.

Objective Abortion is a sensitive issue surrounded with social, cultural and religious stigma. Therefore, estimation of its prevalence involves methodological challenges. The aim of this manuscript is to estimate the abortion prevalence, stratified by type, using direct and two indirect methods. MaterialsAndMethods : In a cross-sectional study in 2016, we recruited 1020 women aged 18-49 years. ...

The Therapeutic Abortion Survey was originally designed to measure all legal, induced abortions performed in Canada (and to the extent possible, abortions performed in the US on Canadian residents prior to 2004). Statistics Canada was responsible for the survey up to the 1994 data year. As of the 1995 data year, the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) assumed data collection, compi...

Chlamydia trachomatis was isolated from the cervix of 30 of 218 (13.8%) women admitted for legal termination of pregnancy. During the first two weeks after the abortion seven of the 30 (23.3%) patients developed pelvic inflammatory disease. Four of these had serological evidence of recent active chlamydial infection. Thus, routine examination of patients for genital chlamydial infection before ...

Spontaneous abortion is the most common complication of pregnancy. Several lines of evidence indicate that immunologic effector cells may play a role in the pathogenesis of idiopathic repetitive abortions. Leukocytes form a substantial proportion of stromal cells in decidua and the endometrial granulated lymphocytes (eGL) is the predominant decidual leukocyte population in the first trimester o...
