Long-term serological outcome of infants who received frozen-thawed milk from human T-lymphotropic virus type-I positive mothers.

Aim: Human T-lymphotropic virus type-I (HTLV-I) infection occurs via mothers' milk during feeding. However, freeze-thaw processing can eliminate the infectivity of the mother's milk of HTLV-I carriers.

Methods: A long-term follow-up survey was conducted to investigate the HTLV-I infectivity of frozen-thawed mothers' milk among infants whose mothers were HTLV-I seropositive.

Pregnancy complicated by HTLV-I associated myelopathy: two cases.

We report two cases of HTLV-I associated myelopathy (HAM), a neurological disorder caused by the Human T-lymphotropic virus type-I (HTLV-I). Case 1 is a 41-year-old, 4 gravida, 4 multipara woman who notice dysuria and degradation of the muscle forces of the lower extremities at 39 years of age. At 22 weeks into her pregnancy, we examined her and diagnosed HAM based on her anti-HTLV-I antibodies being positive and on clinical manifestations.

A stepwise transcervical resection of a large uterine myoma after vaginal delivery.

Case Report: This study reported a stepwise (4-times) transcervical resection (TCR) performed on a patient with a large uterine myoma. The patient (36 years old) was at 6 weeks of pregnancy when at the first medical examination a uterine myoma, as large as the head of newborn infant, was discovered. After the delivery, myomectomy was performed by way of conserving the uterine.
