Disease relevance of Abortion, Legal

 

High impact information on Abortion, Legal

  • Fifteen of these women were restudied with TRH stimulation 4--6 weeks after legal abortion, and the PRL responses to TRH were normal [6].
  • The environmental influence of various drugs on the epoxide hydrolase with styrene oxide (EHSO) or benzo(a)pyrene-4,5-oxide (EHBPox) as substrate and the aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) activity was studied in monolayer cultures of human fetal hepatocytes (HFH) obtained at legal abortions [7].
  • Cytotrophoblasts were isolated from legal abortions, immunopurified with anti-CD45, separated according to their expression of histocompatibility-linked antigen (HLA)-G, alpha 6 or alpha 5 integrin subunits and cultured for 5 days on plastic or agarose [8].
  • OBJECTIVE: To investigate the use of oral mifepristone (RU486; Roussel-Uclaf, Paris, France) associated with IM injection of sulprostone (Schering, Lys-Lez-Lannoy, France) for the induction of legal abortion (7 weeks of amenorrhea in France) [9].
  • A total of 363 women undergoing legal abortion at < 63 days of amenorrhoea were allocated by a patient-centered, partially randomized study design to undergo medical abortion (using mifepristone 600 mg followed 48 h later by gemeprost 1 mg vaginal pessary) or vacuum aspiration (performed under general anaesthesia) [10].
 

Biological context of Abortion, Legal

 

Associations of Abortion, Legal with chemical compounds

  • Because many associations were examined without previous hypotheses, and because the data were inadequate to show an elevated risk for clotrimazole when comparing spontaneous with legal abortion exposures, these findings are considered to be a signal for further studies rather than definitive in themselves [15].
  • Twenty-seven healthy females referred for legal abortion between the sixth and ninth week of pregnancy were treated for 1 week with either bromocriptine, metoclopramide or placebo [16].
  • When women were retested with TRH before and during bromocriptine after legal abortion, bromocriptine did not change the basal levels of TSH, T3 and T4 or the TSH response to TRH [17].
  • The study included 71 women requesting legal abortion in the 15th to 23rd week of pregnancy who were treated with repeated vaginal applications of 9-methylene PGE2 in a hydrophilic gel (5 mg every 4th hour) following pretreatment with 200 mg of RU 486 and/or intracervical administration of 0.5 mg of PGE2 gel [18].
  • Injections of ACTH and HCG into the fetus during midpregnancy legal abortion performed by intraamniotic instillation of prostaglandin. Influence on maternal plasma oestrogens and testosterone [19].
 

Gene context of Abortion, Legal

  • After placental removal at cesarean section in late pregnancy there was a rapid fall in serum GH concentration, whereas levels were unaffected after legal abortion in the first trimester [20].
  • The embryos were collected after legal abortions, embedded in paraffin, serially cut in transversal direction and treated with S35 labeled probe for PAX2 [21].
  • This patient had experienced legal abortion 3 months ago, and the presence of PSBG and hCG in her serum may represent prolonged trophoblastic activity after pregnancy [22].
  • Attempts to demonstrate CMV IgM activity as a marker of active infection in sera from early pregnancy (period of legal abortion) were successful in only half of the 10 cases with infant sequelae or death [2].
  • A 26-year-old woman, treated with phenytoin for 10 years because of epilepsy, had Norplant subdermal implants inserted after a legal abortion [23].
