[Cerebral hemorrhage and periventricular leucomalacia in preterm neonates after intravenous tocolysis with fenoterol: results of postnatal ultrasound examination].

Background: This study tested whether tocolysis with beta-adrenergic agonists (Fenoterol) had an effect on the frequency of cerebral lesions in preterm neonates.

Patients And Methods: Head ultrasound scans of preterm neonates who were born after long-term (> 24 h) tocolysis were compared with scans of preterm neonates without preceding tocolysis. The gestational and neonatal data were analyzed retrospectively.

[Neonatal ultrasonographic cerebral findings: association with risk factor for cerebral palsy].

Background: Is it possible to identify patients with cerebral palsy (CP) with postnatal ultrasound scan? Which risk factors are associated with an increased risk of CP?.

Patients And Methods: The data of 37 children with CP, who were sonographically investigated during the first 24 hours of life were analyzed retrospectively. The data of 21 preterm infants with gestational age View Article and Find Full Text PDF

[Effectiveness and tolerance of depot leuprorelin acetate for preoperative endometrium flattening before endometrial ablation. German Leuprorelin Study Group].

Objective: In order to assess the efficacy and tolerability of leuprorelin acetate depot in pre-operative flattening of the endometrium prior to hysteroscopic endometrial ablation, 94 patients from eight centres were included in the per protocol analysis.

Material And Patients: The patients included were pre- or peri-menopausal, had completed their family planning and had intractable uterine bleeding. The primary target criterion was the reduction in maximum endometrial thickness after two injections of leuprorelin acetate depot with an interval of four weeks between injections.
