Thirty-seven fetuses with severe rhesus isoimmunization with a gestational age of less than 30 week underwent 92 intravascular transfusions. Of these, 77 were intracardiac, 13 umbilical vein and two umbilical artery transfusions. Procedure related complications occurred at eight (10%) intracardiac and at two (14%) umbilical cord transfusions. Reversal of hydrops was observed in 10 of 16 fetuses...

Hemolytic anemia due to GPI deficiency can be severe and life threatening during fetal life. When parents decline invasive testing, ultrasound monitoring of fetuses at risk is feasible. Intrauterine transfusion can be effective for the treatment of severe fetal anemia due to GPI deficiency.

The relationship between use of an intrauterine device (IUD) and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) has been studied extensively over the past 50 years. Previous research has led to considerable controversy and debate. Numerous limitations in the studies make it difficult to draw any firm conclusions from the past research or to design new approaches to study the topic. The main research barrier...

A previous randomized clinical trial compared immobilization for 15 min with immediate mobilization subsequent to intrauterine insemination (IUI) and showed higher ongoing pregnancy rates in couples immobilizing subsequent to IUI. The current study compared the long-term effectiveness of immobilization subsequent to IUI. All couples (n = 391) included in the trial were followed for 3 years afte...

OBJECTIVES Previous research has suggested that hemodynamic changes after in utero transfusion may be related to fetal stress. We tested the hypothesis that these hemodynamic changes are more pronounced when the needle is inserted in the fetal abdomen compared with the umbilical cord root. METHODS Most intrauterine transfusions are performed by inserting a needle either in the umbilical cord ...

In recent years there has been an upsurge of interest in the intrauterine contraceptive devices (I.U.C.D.) both as a means of controlling the world population explosion and as another contraceptive for use in routine family planning. The characteristic of the intrauterine device method which disti'nguishes it from all other methods of contraception is that its' effectiveness is largely independ...

Contraception is essential in a developing country like India. Intrauterine Contraceptive Devices (IUCDs) are amongst the most frequently used methods of contraception. The patients with misplaced IUCDs may present with pregnancies or 'lost strings' or they may remain asymptomatic.

OBJECTIVE To determine the antenatal course of severe red cell alloimmunisation in pregnancies requiring intrauterine fetal transfusion. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective cohort study over 16 years in a single national quaternary fetal medicine centre. From 1996 to 2011, 242 red cell intrauterine transfusions (IUT) were performed in 102 alloimmunised pregnancies. Antibody type was categorized into...

Coronavirus infection (COVID-19) has quickly emerged as a global pandemic leading to critical health complications. The possibility and risk of vertical transmission this virus is still unclear, particularly it relates pregnant women their fetuses. Regarding scientific data, there insufficient research focused on COVID-19 complicated with hydrops fetalis intrauterine fetal demise. In study, we ...
