Syndrome in pregnancy

The next important milestone emerged in 1990 when three independent working groups described the role of2-glycoprotein I as a target antigen in antiphospholipid antibodies’ action (Galli M, et al; 1990, Matsura E, et al; 1990, McNeil HP, et al; 1990). This discovery substantially changed point of view of many of the researchers and also clinical practisers in the topic and it led to research of 2-glycoprotein I structure, function and confirmation of significance of its antibodies presence during the next years....

When searching the history of antiphospholipid antibodies one must meet cornerstone in Graham Hughes’s descriptions of antiphospholipid syndrome in his “Prosser-White Oration” to the British Society of Dermatology in 1983 (Hughes GRV; 1984). The main points of his lecture can be found in different publications (Hughes GRV; 1984, Hughes GRV; 1999, Khamastha MA; 2000) and they are still truthful although they have been expressed almost thirty years ago.

The first step of the screening process was a group or individual counseling session to explain the purpose and process of screening. A flipchart was used to assist in this process (see Appendix 2). During an individual counseling session, informed consent was obtained and pregnancy status was assessed. Syndromic assessment for sexually transmitted infections was part of the examination. For most of the project, women were screened primarily at health-center level by nurses using visual inspection with acetic acid (vinegar), known as VIA.

Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is the most common known preventable cause of mental impairment. Babies with FAS have distinctive changes in their facial features and they may be born small. The brain damage that occurs with FAS can result in lifelong problems with learning, memory, attention, and problem solving. These alcohol-related changes in the brain may be present even in babies whose appearance and growth are not affected.

In the traditional region of Northern Nigeria, Pathfinder has struggled to promote the use of modern contraceptive methods to delay and space pregnancies. Traditional communities in this area generally see children as a gift from God and, assured that He will provide for their families, resist limiting their family size or spacing women’s pregnancies. Sexuality is not openly discussed, so reaching families with RH/FP information and services has been difficult.

Every medical or surgical specialty has emergencies that are somewhat specific to that specialty. This is also true in obstetrics and gynecology. However, several characteristics set the specialty of Ob/Gyn apart from all others. Not only can nearly all of the emergencies seen in other specialties be seen in the field of Ob/Gyn, but pregnancy also brings a new and unique dimension to emergency situations in our specialty.

The loss of a wanted pregnancy at any stage is a devastating event and especially so in couples with recurrent pregnancy losses. Careful history taking from both partners regarding the general medical health and past obstetric history remains a key to management of these couples.

Oral health professionals play a significant role in counseling patients concerning the harmful effects of tobacco, alcohol and recreational drugs. During the pregnancy, the consequences of these behaviors are profound. Multiple studies have demonstrated a clear association between maternal smoking and perinatal morbidity and mortality (6-10). Women who smoke are at increased risk for low birth weight babies, bleeding during pregnancy, premature labor and preterm rupture of membranes.

The surgical treatment of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) by laparotomy ovarian wedge resection was first reported by Stein and Leventhal in 1935. However, the procedure was often associated with the development of periadnexal adhesions obviating the beneficial effects of surgery. Therefore, this surgical treatment became truly obsolete. Advances in laparoscopic techniques have resulted in a resurgence of interest in surgical induction of ovulation. Laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) is a less invasive modification of ovarian wedge resection.

The role of the placental bed in normal pregnancy and its complications has been intensively investigated for 50 years, following the introduction of a technique for placental bed biopsy. It is now recognized that disorders of the maternal–fetal interface in humans have been implicated in a broad range of pathological conditions, including spontaneous abortion, preterm labor, preterm premature rupture of membranes, preeclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction, abruptio placentae, and fetal death.

In each panel, the figure shows the thrombosis (black) potential of each risk factor present during an individual's life and the resultant thrombosis potential (red). (From FR Rosendaal: Venous thrombosis: A multicausal disease. Lancet 353:1167, 1999; with permission.) Several acquired risk factors are very strong, causing thrombosis in several percent of those afflicted, which implies a relative risk of ≥50.

This book summarizes several aspects of GD, which is caused by not well-understood multifactorial mechanisms. Common strategies seem to be key in the understanding of the syndrome, i.e., endothelial dysfunction and the role of other placenta cells such as trophoblasts. It is a book that will definitively help to increase the knowledge-based management of GD for the well being of the mother and the fetus.
