TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the clinical course of UC, as evaluated by the CAI, during pregnancy influenced the outcome of pregnancy and delivery.
Abstract: Objective Little information is available on the relationship between the clinical course of ulcerative colitis (UC) and the outcomes of pregnancy and delivery in pregnant Japanese women. The aim of this retrospective study was to determine the factors that influence pregnancy and childbirth in middle-aged UC patients. Methods We studied 53 pregnancies in 45 pregnant women with UC who delivered at our department. They included 41 pregnancies that started while in UC remission and 12 pregnancies that started in the UC active phase. The following factors were evaluated: 1) the clinical course of UC; 2) the frequency and details of abnormal pregnancy/abnormal delivery; and 3) the course of pregnancy/delivery. We compared the clinical features, course of UC, and details of treatment between women with a normal pregnancy/delivery and those with an abnormal delivery. Results A comparison of the remission and acute groups showed lower clinical activity indices (CAIs) during pregnancy in the remission group and significantly higher rates of recurrence/exacerbation in the active group (75%) than in the remission group (7.3%). The respective CAIs in the first, second, and third trimesters were 3 and 6, 3 and 5, and 3 and 4, in the remission and active groups, respectively. Live infants were delivered in 51 (96%) pregnancies, with 7 (17%) abnormal pregnancies in the remission group and 4 (33.3%) in the active group (p>0.05). Abnormal delivery occurred in 16 of 53 (30.1%) pregnancies, and the rate was higher in the remission group than in the active group (p>0.05). In both groups, the most common abnormal event during pregnancy was delivery of low-birth-weight infants. Delivery was normal in 37 cases and abnormal in 16 cases. A multivariate analysis showed that a shorter UC disease duration (odds ratio=1.16) and higher CAI in the first trimester (odds ratio=1.49) were associated with an increased risk of abnormal pregnancy. Conclusion Our findings demonstrated that the clinical course of UC, as evaluated by the CAI, during pregnancy influenced the outcome of pregnancy and delivery.
TL;DR: Maternal and perinatal morbidity were examined to assess the influence of parity and intervention procedures among 1032 women considered low risk at commencement of labour and found prevalence of abnormal delivery was influenced by parity, failure to progress in labour and diagnosis of fetal distress.
Abstract: Maternal and perinatal morbidity were examined to assess the influence of parity and intervention procedures among 1032 women considered low risk at commencement of labour. A diagnosis of fetal distress, failure to progress during labour, maternal problems after delivery and consultation with or transfer of the neonate to a paediatrician occurred more frequently amongst nulliparous women (p less than 0.001). Failure to progress in labour was found to be influenced by parity (primigravida), maternal age (less than 20 years) and also by the use of epidural anaesthetic for pain relief (p less than 0.001). Prevalence of abnormal delivery was found to be influenced by parity (primigravida), failure to progress in labour and diagnosis of fetal distress. The use of epidural anaesthesia for pain relief was also found to increase the rate of abnormal delivery (p less than 0.001). Statistically significant differences occurred between the groups of patients, with patients of private specialists having the highest rates for induction (34%), use of epidural for pain relief (40%) and abnormal delivery (46%).
TL;DR: In this article, a non-contact type detection for detecting existence of paper 12 is provided on a paper feeding direction downstream side of a butting member 18 of a stacking table.
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely detect abnormal delivery of a sheet-like material in an early stage in a sheet-like material abnormal delivery detection device SOLUTION: A non-contact type detection means 32 for detecting existence of paper 12 is provided on a paper feeding direction downstream side of a butting member 18 of a stacking means Timing when a rear end edge of maximum size paper 12A held by a paper delivery claw 6A passes through the non-contact type detection means 32 is a machine phase C Timing when a next paper delivery claw 6B reaches the non-contact type detection means 32 is a machine phase D When a light receiver 27 of the non-contact type detection means 32 is turned on between the machine phases C and D, normal paper delivery is determined by a control device When the light receiver 27 of the non-contact type detection means 32 is turned off between the machine phases C and D, abnormal paper delivery is determined by the control device 37 COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
TL;DR: Comparation among pregnant women delivered infants with birth asphyxia and pregnant womendelivered infants without birthAsphyxia, birth Asphyxia was significantly more in maternal age more than 30 years, gestational age less than 37 weeks, detection of abnormalities during recent pregnancy, abnormal delivery (abnormal vaginal route more than cesarean section), birth weight of newborns less than 2,500 grams.
Abstract: Perinatal mortality is an important problem of public health of Thailand. Birth asphyxia is one of the causes of perinatal moirtality which can be prevented. To study birth asphyxia and its influence factors of management for the pregnant women and fetuses. There were 742 pregnant women delivered live - birth infants in Khonkaen Hospital was between 1 march and 31 May 1999. The prospective study of age, height, weight gained through pregnancy, parity, birth interval, gestational age, numbers of visit antepartum clinic, abnormalities during previous pregnancy and delivery, abnormalities during recent pregnancy, duration of labor stage, duration from membranous leakage until birth, method of delivery, neonatal birth weight, newborn Apgar score at 1 minute after birth were performed. These data were compared among birth asphyxia group (Apgar scores were less than 8 at 1 minute after birth) and non - birth asphyxia group. The incidence of birth asphyxia was 70/1,000 live - birth. Comparation among pregnant women delivered infants with birth asphyxia and pregnant women delivered infants without birth asphyxia, birth asphyxia was significantly more in maternal age more than 30 years, gestational age less than 37 weeks, detection of abnormalities during recent pregnancy, abnormal delivery (abnormal vaginal route more than cesarean section), birth weight of newborns less than 2,500 grams.
