[Cholestasis and listeriosis in the third trimester of pregnancy].

Listeriosis is an infection produced by Listeria monocytogenes. It is infrequent and affects people at extreme ages, pregnant women, immunocompromised people and, occasionally, healthy people. Its incidence has increased in recent years and shows a certain tendency to seasonality, increasing in summer.

[Medical disorders and pregnancy. Respiratory, urologic, infectious and endocrinologic disorders].

Pregnancy is a state that changes the physiology of various organs and systems. The occurrence of concomitant diseases, or their presence prior to pregnancy, requires an understanding of such changes and their influence on the disease, the impact of the disease and the diagnostic and therapeutic measures on pregnant women and on the foetus. The aim of this paper is to provide a concise outline of the course of action recommended in dealing with pregnant women who attend the emergency department presenting symptoms of non-specific morbidity of pregnancy.

[Intraductal breast papillomas in patients with Costello syndrome].

Costello syndrome is a multisystemic congenital disorder with a very low prevalence. The pathogenesis remains unclear and predisposes to the development of tumors of ectodermal origin. Diagnosis is clinical, based on findings of mental and growth retardation and a characteristic phenotype.

[Genital condylomatosis and pregnancy associated with chorioamnionitis and premature delivery].

Genital condylomas are produced by the human papilloma virus. On many occasions they are associated with other genital infections (fungi, trichomonas and vaginosis). Pregnancy favours the appearance of condylomas in the anogenital region.

[Fetal pulse oximetry. Intrapartum foetal hypoxia evaluation. Comparative study with invasive techniques concerning foetal welfare].

Unlabelled: Pulse oximetry is a technique that continuously measures the blood oxygen saturation (%SpO2); it has become a standard monitoring method in Anaesthesia, Intensive Care, Neonatology, etc; and it can be helpful in Obstetrics during delivery to monitor foetal welfare. Its advantages are that it is minimally invasive and easy to use. Moreover, SpO2 is a good parameter for measuring oxygen carriage.
