Aim: To evaluate a standardized protocol for maintaining near-normoglycaemia during labour and delivery in women with type 1 diabetes.
Methods: Over a nine-year period (1997-2005), 229 pregnancies in 174 women with type 1 diabetes were delivered at one centre. The same regimen was used for the induction of labour (group 1) and in women admitted in spontaneous labour (group 2): 10% dextrose (80ml/h) intravenous was given along with short-acting insulin, starting at 1IU/h intravenous via an infusion pump.
High faecal calprotectin concentrations in newborn infants.
Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed
July 2004
Background: Calprotectin, a major component of soluble cytosolic proteins in human neutrophil granulocytes, is excreted in excess in stools during inflammatory bowel disease in adults and children. Faecal calprotectin concentrations are also higher during the first year of life than in adults.
Objectives: To measure faecal calprotectin concentrations in the neonatal period and define reference values according to the mode of feeding: standard infant formula, prebiotic infant formula (Calisma, Blédina SA, France), or breast feeding.
Objectives: To study the frequency with which maternity ward staff complete the perinatal information section of infants' permanent pediatric health records.
Methods: In 2000, 71 pediatricians in private practice and on staff in a general pediatric ward in a tertiary hospital in Paris carried out an observational study to assess which indicators were reported at what rates. Pediatricians were also asked which information about the perinatal admission they would find helpful in these records.
Objective: To assess the maternal, fetal and neonatal safety of enoxaparin in pregnant women who require antithrombotic therapy.
Design: Retrospective analysis of case notes of women who received enoxaparin during pregnancy, irrespective of dose, duration and reason for treatment.
Setting: Fifty-five French perinatal centres.
