Thorough prenatal evaluation allows for identification of fetuses with compromised airway. The ex utero intrapartum treatment procedure enables maintaining uteroplacental circulation during cesarean section while securing a potentially obstructed fetal airway, converting a potentially catastrophic situation into a controlled one. An expert multidisciplinary team is the key to success. Read More

Purpose: Breech presentation is the most common abnormal presentation occurring in 3-4% of all deliveries. Incidence of caesarean section for breech presentation has increased markedly in the last few decades. Attempting external cephalic version (ECV) reduces the chance of non-cephalic presentation at term, thus reducing the rate of caesarean sections. Read More

Background: Studies in women with epilepsy (WWE) regarding pregnancy and labour-complications have disclosed contradictory results. Our purpose was to investigate whether WWE have a higher risk of acute caesarean section (CS) or pregnancy complications than women without epilepsy or women with other chronic diseases, and if we found a higher risk, explore potential explanations.
Methods: The study used prospectively registered obstetric data from Oppland Perinatal Database in the period 2001 - 2011, containing information on 18 244 births, including 110 singleton pregnancies in mothers with validated epilepsy. Read More

Brachial plexus birth injury (BPBI) and phrenic nerve injury can sometimes occur concurrently in neonates following difficult deliveries like breech presentation, shoulder dystocia, forceps or vacuum extraction. Phrenic nerve palsy should be suspected in a newborn with respiratory distress and an elevated hemidiaphragm on the imaging studies in presence of the associated risk factors. The right side is affected more often than the left side and most of it is associated with BPBI. Read More

Background: Alpha-methylacetoacetic aciduria, an autosomal recessive disorder of isoleucine and ketone body metabolism, is caused by a mutation in the acetyl coenzyme A acetyltransferase-1 gene (ACAT1; 607809) on chromosome 11q22. Ketoacidotic episodes in such patients are triggered by stress situations with increased energy demands. Pregnancy, surgical procedures, and prolonged fasting are potential triggers for metabolic crisis in such cases. Read More

Introduction: In recent years there is a growing local, as well as global, tendency among obstetricians to end labor by cesarean section in various circumstances. Current literature suggests that the leading factor for this preference is closely related to the amount of malpractice allegations submitted against obstetricians. The extensive use of cesarean sections has its toll in reducing the skills of future obstetricians in handling breech, instrumental and vaginal delivery after cesarean section and vaginal delivery of twins, and other types of deliveries.

Background: The optimal route of delivery in early-onset preeclampsia before 34 weeks is debated because many clinicians are reluctant to proceed with induction for perceived high risk of failure.
Objective: Our objective was to investigate labor induction success rates and compare maternal and neonatal outcomes by intended mode of delivery in women with early preterm preeclampsia.

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a congenital condition characterized by abnormality in acetabulum size and/or shape. The incidence rate of DDH differs between different populations with risk factors including positive family history, breech presentation, sex, firstborn status, side of the hip, mode of delivery and oligohydramnios. It is recognized that DDH has a genetic component that exhibit autosomal dominant patterns. Read More

Background: Women may be unaware of the potential impact on subsequent deliveries of the decision to undergo primary breech cesarean (PBC) delivery rather than attempt external cephalic version (ECV).

A novel approach for conducting normal and/or combined pressure-shear plate impact experiments at test temperatures up to 1000 °C is presented. The method enables elevated temperature plate-impact experiments aimed towards probing dynamic behavior of materials under thermomechanical extremes, while mitigating several special experimental challenges faced while performing similar experiments using the conventional plate impact approach. Custom adaptations are made to the breech-end of a single-stage gas-gun at Case Western Reserve University; these adaptations include a precision-machined extension piece made from SAE 4340 steel, which is strategically designed to mate the existing gun-barrel while providing a high tolerance match to the bore and keyway.
