Translabial ultrasound of the third-trimester uterine cervix. Correlation with digital examination.

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine (1990)

B S Mahony David A. Nyberg D A Luthy Jack H. Hirsch Durlin E. Hickok

This prospective blinded study compared translabial ultrasound (TLU) and digital palpation of the cervix among women whose cervix could not be visualized adequately or at all with transabdominal ultrasound during the third trimester of pregnancy. The cervical canal and internal cervical os were adequately visualized during 109 of 113 TLUs (96%). The TLU was well tolerated by the patients; only two patients refused the TLU pending discussion of the technique with their obstetrician. Among 43 examinations of patients without clinical cervical effacement, TLU showed a cervical length of 2.5 to 4.2 cm (mean, 2.9 cm). An excellent correlation (R = 0.90) was noted between cervical length on TLU and percentage of cervical effacement on digital examination. The correlation between amount of cervical dilatation on TLU and on digital examination was not high (R = 0.58). We conclude that the measurements of cervical length on TLU correlate well with the amount of cervical effacement on digital examination and that TLU provides a rapid and well-tolerated alternative technique to visualize the third-trimester uterine cervix.

PERICONCEPTIONAL MULTIVITAMIN USE IN RELATION TO THE RISK OF CONGENITAL URINARY TRACT ANOMALIES

Epidemiology (1995)

De-Kun Li Janet R. Daling Beth A. Mueller Durlin E. Hickok Alan G. Fantel

To study the relation of maternal periconceptional vitamin use to the risk of a congenital urinary tract anomaly (CUTA), we conducted a case-control study using the Washington State Birth Defect Registry. We identified CUTA cases with no known chromosomal abnormality in seven counties in western Washington State occurring between January 1, 1990, and December 31, 1991. We randomly selected a sample, as controls, of all infants delivered in five large hospitals in King County who did not have a birth defect and who were born in the same year as the cases. About 55% of all infants in King County and a smaller proportion of infants in the other six counties are delivered in these five hospitals. We interviewed mothers of 118 cases and 369 controls to obtain information about their vitamin use during the pregnancy and during the year before the conception. After adjustment for maternal race, family income, county of maternal residence, and birth year, we found that women who used multivitamins during the first trimester had only 15% the risk of bearing a child with a CUTA compared with women who did not take vitamins [odds ratio (OR) = 0.15; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.05-0.43]. The reduction was smaller for use restricted to the second or third trimesters (OR = 0.31; 95% CI = 0.09-1.02). Among women who used vitamins during the first trimester, vitamin use before conception was not associated with any further reduction in the risk, nor did there appear to be an association with the amount or brand of vitamin used.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Prenatal sonographic findings of trisomy 18: review of 47 cases

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine (1993)

David A. Nyberg Dawna J. Kramer Robert G. Resta Raj P. Kapur B S Mahony

Prenatal sonographic findings were reviewed in 47 consecutive fetuses with trisomy 18. One or more abnormalities, excluding choroid plexus cysts, were found in 39 fetuses (83%), including 21 of 29 (72%) fetuses examined between 14 and 24 weeks and all 18 (100%) fetuses examined after 24 weeks. Abnormalities most frequently detected before 24 weeks included cystic hygromas, nuchal thickening, and meningomyelocele. Intrauterine growth retardation, cardiac defects, and an enlarged cisterna magna were detected more frequently after 24 weeks than before 24 weeks (P < 0.05). Intrauterine growth retardation was the single most common abnormality, detected in 51% of all fetuses and 89% of fetuses examined after 24 weeks. Choroid plexus cysts were identified in 25% (12 of 47) of fetuses, including 11 of 29 (38%) fetuses seen before 24 weeks. Additional abnormalities were identified in 10 of 12 (83%) fetuses with choroid plexus cysts; one of the two remaining fetuses showed clenched hands and a cardiac anomaly at autopsy, and the other showed unusually large, multiple choroid plexus cysts. Awareness of the type of anomalies and the usual menstrual age of diagnosis in fetuses with trisomy 18 should improve patient counseling and prenatal detection of fetuses considered at risk for this disorder.

A lethal neonatal dwarfing condition with short ribs, polysyndactyly, cranial synostosis, cleft palate cardiovascular and urogenital anomalies and severe ossification defect

Birth Defects Research (1977)

Michael W. Piepkorn Lawrence E. Karp Durlin E. Hickok Louise Wiegenstein Judith G. Hall

Abstract A case of severe lethal neonatal dwarfism is reported. It appears to be a new variety of short rib‐polydactyly dwarfism. It is characterized by severe lack of ossification of all bones except the clavicle and the presence of cleft palate, as well as genitourinary, central nervous system and cardiovascular anomalies. Electronmicroscopy revealed accumulations of granular material in the chondrocytes.
