Overall, 152 pregnant and post-partum patients within 6 weeks of delivery or termination of pregnancy underwent V/Q scans or CTPAs as part of their assessment for suspected PE over a 4-year period between 2007 and 2011.
The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of universal vs selective resuscitation on maternal utilities, perinatal costs, and outcomes of preterm delivery and termination of pregnancy at 20-23 weeks 6 days' gestation.
In cooperation with hospital staff, field teams contacted women at the time of delivery or termination of pregnancy to inform them of the study and obtain consent.
Pregnant women were excluded from the study but were diagnosed and offered praziquantel as treatment for schistosomiasis after delivery and termination of breast-feeding.
Twenty-one days after either delivery or termination of treatment all the animals received an intragastric dose of 8 mg DMBA/100 gbw.
The truncation to March 31 means that all conceptions in the most recent year of birth will have resulted in a delivery or termination of pregnancy within that year.
Fasting blood samples from 117 NTD case women (anencephaly, 44; spina bifida, 67; encephalocele, 6) and 121 control women were collected at delivery or termination of NTD-affected pregnancies with a 4 mL BD vacutainer (Becton, Dickinson and Company, USA).
Although evidence is insufficient to recommend delivery or termination of pregnancy in a stable woman being treated for anthrax solely in the hopes of improving maternal outcome, reducing the toxin burden, or preventing other complications of anthrax, delivery should be considered if a pregnant woman does not respond to antibiotic and antitoxin treatment.
First, blood samples were collected at delivery or termination of NTD-affected pregnancies from mothers and the measured PAH concentrations may not be fully representative for those in the first month postconception, which is the critical period of neural tube development.
For the second protocol, 50 day-old virgin rats were also mated (Group V) or were treated with hCG for 21 days (Group VI); the resting period between delivery or termination of treatment was lengthened to 63 days, at which time they received a dose of DMBA.
Those who had ever been pregnant provided detailed information on each pregnancy regarding whether it was intended, the relationship to the person responsible, prenatal care services including PMTCT, pregnancy outcome, place of delivery or pregnancy termination, assistance during delivery or pregnancy termination, post-natal care, and use of contraception after delivery or pregnancy termination.
