Impact of maternal obesity on the fetal electrocardiogram during labor.

Objective: Maternal obesity affects one in every five women giving birth worldwide. This condition is associated with adverse perinatal outcomes, as well as increased morbidity and mortality for mother and offspring.

Methods: We carried out a prospective study at the University of Pecs Medical Center, Pecs, Hungary, between 1 January 2013 and 1 January 2014.

Assessment of postoperative postvoid residual bladder volume using three-dimensional ultrasound volumetry.

The aim of our prospective study was to assess the concordance between postvoid residual volumes (PVR) of the urinary bladder obtained by two different three-dimensional (3-D) ultrasound (US) volumetric methods (VOCAL and XI VOCAL) and with measurement by the catheter in postoperative patients who have undergone radical hysterectomy. The 3-D sonographic volume-determination of PVR with both methods correlated significantly with the actual amount of PVR by the catheter. The accuracy of both 3-D US volumetric methods was significantly higher under 300 mL of PVR.

Sexual function after modified laparoscopic Vecchietti's vaginoplasty.

Study Objective: To report on minor modification of laparoscopic Vecchietti vaginoplasty and to examine the quality of sexual life after the operation.

Design: A retrospective study to examine the role of minor modification during laparoscopic Vecchietti operation to prevent injuries and to evaluate the sexual function of patients with neovagina.

Setting: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Pécs, Faculty of Medicine, a tertiary supply center in Hungary.

The application of 'endovaginal' sonography during a laparoscopy-assisted Vecchietti operation.

Background: Many types of operations are described to create a neovagina in a patient with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome, that sometimes result in injury of the surrounding organs. Many trials are detailed in the literature to avoid these complications. Our goal was to examine the benefit of 'endovaginal' sonography during a laparoscopy-assisted Vecchietti operation to avoid bladder injuries.

Relationship between adolescent amenorrhea and climacteric osteoporosis.

Objectives: The relationship between climacteric osteoporosis and disturbances in menstrual cycle during adolescence was examined.

Methods: Seven hundred and seventy-one questionnaires were shared out among women visiting the outpatient department for climacteric complaints for the first time between 2001 and 2004. Questions revealed the age, age at menarche and menopause, the regularity or irregularity of menstrual cycle during adolescence and adult ages.

A novel frame shift mutation in the HMG box of the SRY gene in a patient with complete 46,XY pure gonadal dysgenesis.

Pure gonadal dysgenesis or Swyer syndrome is a sex-reversal disorder resulting from embryonic testicular regression sequences especially during the first few weeks of fetal life and is induced by mutations in the SRY gene. In the present report, we describe a nonmosaic XY sex-reversed female with pure gonadal dysgenesis. Molecular analysis using sequential PCR to detect Y chromosomal microdeletions showed the presence of SRY, ZFY and AZFa, b and c regions.

Simultaneous use of intrapartum fetal pulse oximetry and amnioinfusion in meconium stained amniotic fluid.

Objective: Fetal pulse oximetry is a minimally invasive, simple technique which continuously helps to reflect in utero well-being. The presence of meconium in the amniotic fluid may be a clinical sign of fetal hypoxaemia. Amnioinfusion has a beneficial effect on the incidence of meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS), and the presence of meconium below the level of the vocal cords.
