In the Thuringia campaign 2000 based on a simple screening with intravaginal pH self-measurements, adequate medical diagnosis and immediate antimicrobial therapy of genital infection, the rate of newborns <1000 g was reduced to 0.38 %, the lowest incidence ever seen in any of the German states. Therefore, the regime should be implicated as a necessary step of optimizing and rationalizing the health care system. However, in the discussion we had to learn that the best way to inhibit progress is to cope with problems by preferring the most complicated policies under persistent renunciation of simple solutions. As long as we do not have other alternative safe, simple and cheap methods, do we really have to wait even more decades to come for a prospectively randomized double-blinded almost impracticable study to convince the latest skeptical scientist that we have plenty of evidence-based means to reduce the incidence of premature birth, now, by decreasing infectious morbidity in pregnancy and by the same action childbed fever as well? Insisting scholastically on nothing but the 100 % pure evidence sometimes can hamper innovations and potential benefit. Would a similar caution ever had allowed us for instance to introduce handwashing according to Semmelweis? Good news, the Government of the State of Thuringia has decided this year to reestablish a pH selfcare screening programme.

查看更多>>摘要:Purpose 11 per 1000 pregnancies are ectopic (NICE Guidelines, 2012) with 95 % of ectopic pregnancies being tubal in origin, and 80 % of these occurring within the ampulla (The Ectopic Pregnancy Trust). 5% therefore are non-tubal. In this review we aim to collate literature relevant to non-tubal ectopic pregnancy.
查看更多>>摘要:Aim Abnormal natural killer (NK) cell activity has been suggested to be a high-risk factor associated with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA). Intralipid, like immunoglobulin, is able to lower the activity of NK cells, which has been reported to be useful for improving URSA outcomes in pregnancy. This study aimed to determine whether intralipid could be used as an alternative treatment to intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) which is expensive and has many side-effects.

查看更多>>摘要:Purpose Variants rs10830963 (C/G) and rs1387153 (C/T) in MTNR1B have been shown with an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes mellitus. However, the results are still controversial, and evidence was not satisfied. Hence, a case-control study and a further meta-analysis will be performed in this study.

The objective of this study was to calculate the risk of neonatal mortality after elective repeat cesarean delivery (ERCD) by gestational age.
