Case ReportsIntracranial venous thrombosis associated with severe antithrombin-III deficiency in pregnancy.
We report a patient with intracranial venous thrombosis in the third trimester of pregnancy associated with severe antithrombin-III deficiency. The evaluation of protein C, protein S and antithrombin-III levels in patients with thrombotic events during pregnancy may reveal the specific cause of the thrombotic event and thereby influence patient management

Reference intervals for first trimester embryonic/fetal heart rate in a Thai population.
To establish reference intervals for first trimester embryonic/fetal heart rate in a Thai population. ⋯ Reference intervals for first trimester embryonic/fetal heart rate in a Thai population were established. Our reference intervals may be useful for further studies, such as the prediction of spontaneous abortion or chromosomal disorders after ultrasound-proven viability in the first trimester.

Clinical Trial Controlled Clinical TrialEpidural analgesia in primigravidae in spontaneous labour at term: a prospective study.
To prospectively study the intervention rate, duration of labour, malpositions, fetal outcome, maternal satisfaction, voiding complications and adverse events in healthy primigravidae in spontaneous labour at term following epidural analgesia. ⋯ Epidural analgesia in primigravidae in spontaneous labour at term led to an increased instrumental delivery rate, prolonged duration of labour, greater rate of malpositions in the second stage, increased oxytocin requirements but with no difference in fetal outcomes but with happier mothers as compared to the control group.

A survey of the current practice of obstetric anaesthesia and analgesia in Malaysia [correction of Malaysis].
A survey covering 30% of the deliveries in Malaysia was done to determine the practice of obstetric anaesthesia and analgesia for 1996. ⋯ Although the use of epidural analgesia for labour was low in Malaysia, the overall rate of regional anaesthesia for caesarean section (41.9%) is very much in keeping with the standards of safe practice recommended by the United Kingdom.
