Background: A daily injection of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) is often prescribed to women with unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), although evidence suggesting a benefit is questionable.
Objective: To determine whether LMWH increases ongoing pregnancy and live-birth rates in women with unexplained RPL.
Design: Controlled, multicenter trial with randomization using minimization conducted from 2006 to 2013.
Objective: Evaluation of lung function parameters and additional use of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) for the stabilisation of cardiopulmonary function in patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and pulmonary hypertension (PHT).
Design: Observational study.
Patients: Between 2007 and 2009 8 patients with CDH have been treated in our pediatric intensive care unit (gestational age 34 + 0 - 40 + 4 weeks, birth weight 2 160-3 840 g).
