Cryptococcosis Of The Upper Genital Tract., Manish Gopal, Stacy Mccrosson, Pamela Edmonds, Thomas Klein

Upper genital tract infection by Cryptococcus neoformans has not previously been reported. We describe such a case, in order to alert clinicians to the existence of this rare infection. A 34-year-old woman with AIDS presented with chronic menorrhagia, fever, anemia, and thrombocytopenia. Despite blood transfusions and hormonal therapy, her vaginal bleeding could not be controlled and she became hemodynamically unstable. Total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy were performed, at which time granulomatous peritonitis and prominent myometrial blood vessels were found. Histologic examination revealed cryptococcal infection of all upper genital organs. This case demonstrates that disseminated cryptococcosis may involve the upper …
Prolonged Monitoring After Decelerations On Outpatient Non-Stress Tests: How Long Is Enough?, P. Koduri, Md, M. Giraldo, Md, V. Berghella, Md, S. P. Chauhan, Md
Prolonged Monitoring After Decelerations On Outpatient Non-Stress Tests: How Long Is Enough?, P. Koduri, Md, M. Giraldo, Md, V. Berghella, Md, S. P. Chauhan, Md

Objective: To determine the appropriate duration of prolonged monitoring following decelerations noted on outpatient non-stress test (NST).
Conclusion: Prolonged monitoring beyond 120 min is not associated with increased rate of delivery secondary to NRFS or worse neonatal outcome measured by the 5 minute Apgar score. Monitoring after a deceleration on outpatient NST may be limited to less than 120 minutes. Larger studies are needed to confirm this finding.
Effectiveness Of 17-Alpha-Hydroxyprogesterone Caproate On The Prevention Of Preterm Birth In Women With A History-Indicated Cerclage, D. Mackeen, Md, T. J. Rafael, Md, J. Zavodnick, Ba, V. Berghella, Md
Effectiveness Of 17-Alpha-Hydroxyprogesterone Caproate On The Prevention Of Preterm Birth In Women With A History-Indicated Cerclage, D. Mackeen, Md, T. J. Rafael, Md, J. Zavodnick, Ba, V. Berghella, Md
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Faculty Papers
Objective: To determine whether 17-alpha-hydroxyprogesterone caproate (17P) reduces the incidence of preterm birth (PTB) in women with a history-indicated cerclage.
Conclusions: 17P does not appear to have an effect on preterm birth <35 weeks in women with a history-indicated cerclage.
Does 17 Alpha-Hydroxyprogesterone Caproate Decrease The Rate Of Preterm Birth In Women With An Ultrasound-Indicated Cerclage?, T. J. Rafael, D. Mackeen, V. Berghella
Does 17 Alpha-Hydroxyprogesterone Caproate Decrease The Rate Of Preterm Birth In Women With An Ultrasound-Indicated Cerclage?, T. J. Rafael, D. Mackeen, V. Berghella
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Faculty Papers
Objective: To estimate whether the use of 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone caproate (17P) in women with an ultrasound-indicated cerclage (UIC) reduces the rate of preterm birth (PTB).
Conclusions: Among women with a prior spontaneous PTB and current UIC for CL<25mm, 17P did not reduce the rate of PTB <35 weeks.
Cervical Cancer Prevention In Pregnant Women: Is Biopsy Useful?, N. S. Seligman, Md, J. Zavodnick, Ba, K. Mccullen, Md
Cervical Cancer Prevention In Pregnant Women: Is Biopsy Useful?, N. S. Seligman, Md, J. Zavodnick, Ba, K. Mccullen, Md
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Faculty Papers
Objective: To estimate if cervical biopsy at the time of colposcopy changes the management or outcome of abnormal cervical cytology during pregnancy.
Conclusion: Biopsy of suspected cervical lesions can be safely deferred until after pregnancy because there were no significant changes between antepartum and postpartum CC and no missed cases of cervical cancer were detected.
