Randomized Controlled Trial
Two techniques of pyramidalis muscle dissection in Pfannenstiel incision for cesarean section.
The aim of the study was to compare two techniques of pyramidalis muscle dissection during cesarean section. ⋯ None of the two techniques of pyramidalis muscle dissection appear to be superior to the other. The technique leaving the pyramidalis muscle attached to the fascia gave more frequent paresthesia during a 3-month follow-up.

Comparative Study
[Standardization of the quantitative flow cytometric test with anti-D antibodies for fetomaternal hemorrhage in RhD negative women].
In order to determine the appropriate dose of anti-D immunoglobulin to be administered as a preventive measure against hemolytic disease of the fetus/newborn in the subsequent pregnancy it is necessary to assess the number of fetal red blood cells that infiltrate/penetrate into the maternal circulation as a result of fetomaternal hemorrhage (FMH). One of the quantitative methods of FMH analysis is based on flow cytometry (FACS) which makes use of monoclonal antibodies to RhD antigen (anti-D test). The aim of the study was to further develop the method, evaluate its sensitivity and reproducibility and to compare it with the test based on the detection of fetal hemoglobin (HbF). ⋯ The flow cytometric test with anti-D and anti-CD45 is useful in the assessment of the fetomaternal hemorrhage in RhD negative women. The sensitivity of the test is estimated at 0.05%.
