Urinary free cortisol and progesterone were determined by radioimmunoassay in 18 normal and 16 anencephalic pregnancies and urinary free cortisol levels in 9 nonpregnant women. In normal pregnancy the urinary free cortisol (46.89 +/- 34.02 mug per 24 hours) was significantly higher (P less than

Serum progesterone was measured by competitive protein-binding assay in 331 cases of normal pregnancy ranging from 6 to 42 weeks. Serial estimations of serum progesterone were performed in nine cases of severe hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, eight cases of twin pregnancy, three cases of twin

Indomethacin administration in late pregnancy prolonged gestation in caged rhesus monkeys and inhibited premature labour and postponed delivery in chronically catheterized monkey fetuses. Chronic indomethacin treatment was associated with a reduction in the urinary excretion of a prostaglandin

Although considerable information is available concerning steroidogenesis in the human fetus, the function of the different steroids formed during pregnancy and the factors regulating this delicate hormones balance are poorly understood. During human pregnancy, the placenta synthesizes large

Hattori reported isolated posterior mediastinal paravertebral müllerian cysts of undetermined pathogenesis in women. We report a 41-year-old woman with a family history of anencephaly, spina bifida, and scoliosis who presented with increasing left-sided mid-thoracic pain uncontrolled by her usual

OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether exposure to clomiphene citrate (CC) for ovulation induction is associated with major malformations overall or with specific fetal anomalies. METHODS We conducted a population-based retrospective cohort study. Exposure was defined as CC dispension from 2 months before

Synthesis of oestrogens occurs, during the greater part of pregnancy, in the placenta starting with two fetal precursors: DHA-S and 16 OH DHA-S. In the case of a deficit in sulphatase, an enzyme which is mainly localised in the placenta, these precursors cannot be transformed so that the level of
