Essential thrombocythemia (ET) may occur in women of childbearing age. To investigate the risk of pregnancy complications, we studied 103 pregnancies that occurred in 62 women with ET. The 2-tailed Fisher exact test showed that pregnancy outcome was independent from that of a previous pregnancy. The rate of live birth was 64%, and 51% of pregnancies were uneventful. Maternal complications occur...

Out of them, 5 (7.81 %) were complicated with single fetal death in the second or third trimester. These cases were managed conservatively with regular monitoring of mate...

OBJECTIVE To present the feasibility of fetal myelomeningocele (MMC) repair through a mini-hysterotomy and to describe the perinatal results from our initial experience. METHODS A descriptive study of cases of fetal MMC correction via mini-hysterotomy performed between 2014 and 2016. RESULTS Forty-five women underwent fetal surgery and 87% (39/45) delivered. A complete multilayer correction...

BACKGROUND Anthracyclines are essential for the treatment of malignancies observed in pregnant patients.

PATIENTS AND METHODS We collected information concerning patients treated with anthracyclines during pregnancy from a review of literature between 1976 and 2001 and our expe...

OBJECTIVE In this study, we wanted to model the emergence of coupling between fetal cardiac and somatic activity in normal and at-risk fetuses. STUDY DESIGN One hundred six fetuses of uncomplicated pregnancies were longitudinally monitored at 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, and 38 weeks of gestation by using a fetal actocardiograph and computerized data collection. Twenty-six fetuses of complicated pregn...

maternal, fetal and neonatal complications are correlated with hypertensive disorders during pregnancy.  in this context, the maternal blood uric acid level is reported to be one of the prognostic factors in determining the prenatal outcome.  based on the existing data, the present descriptive study was performed on two groups of women with severe preeclampsia; the first group (n=53) with a uri...
