The use of two-channel telemetric systems in obstetrics: an ideal monitoring method for oral PGE2 induction of labor.

Our results demonstrate that free mobility in labor has many advantages. Because of the accelerated uterine contractility, the induction-delivery interval is shortened. No unphysiologic baseline pressure alterations were found.

Report on 27 cases on emergency cerclage. Six infants survived. Among these were four with birth weights over 2500 grams.

[Labor and delivery, fetal and maternal risk following cerclage. A comparative study (author's transl)].

In a comparative study of the course of pregnancy and delivery of 357 patients who delivered live infants between 1966-1976 following cerclage operation were compared to a control group of 380 without cerclage who were matched in age, parity and delivery time to the group under study. The high prematurity rate in the pregnancies preceeding the cerclage of 28.4% decreased following the cerclage to 16.

[History and course of pregnancy in a group of cerclage patients. A comparative study (I) (author's transl)].

The previous history and course of pregnancy in 357 women with variable births, in whom cerclage had been performed during 1966-1976 at the Freiburg University Gynaecological Hospital, were compared with a group of 380 women without cerclage, the age, parity and period during which birth had occurred, being identical. The high average of the patients with cerclage (29.3 years), the low percentage of primigravidae (17.
