Defect in lung growth Comparative study of three diagnostic criteria.
Traduction anglaise de l'article Arch Pediatr. 2004 Jun;11(6):515-7 Référence pubmed : 15158815A systematic analysis was made of the autopsies of 74 newborns and fetuses (49 pathological cases and 25 controls) to detect defects in lung growth. In each case lung/body (L/B) weight ratio was calculated, and radial alveolar (RA) count and histological assessment were performed. The L/B ratio is of diagnostic value when lower than 0.012 but not when there is intercurrent disease. RA count is low in lung hypoplasia but is not an entirely reliable diagnostic criterion since it change throughout pregnancy and the earlier the gestational age the wider the range of variation. Histological assessment showed an abnormally high number of bronchi and bronchi in distal location with in some cases delayed differentiation of distal airways. If any one of the above three critera fails to determine lung hypoplasia the other two can be used to arrive at diagnosis

Johanson-Blizzard Syndrome: Autopsy Findings with Special Emphasis on Hypopituitarism and Review of the Literature
[Macrocephaly-capillary malformation. A neonatal case].
International audienceMacrocephaly-cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita is a multiple congenital anomaly syndrome first described in 1997 in children with macrocephaly, cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita, and several other abnormalities. Since 2007, this syndrome has been renamed macrocephaly-capillary malformation

Pregnancies and Gynecological Follow-Up after Solid Organ Transplantation: Experience of a Decade
In recent years, solid organ transplantations, such as kidney or lung grafts, have been performed worldwide with an improvement of quality of life under immunosuppressive therapy and an increase in life expectancy, allowing young women to consider childbearing. In the current study, we conduct a retrospective study in two French centers for kidney and lung transplantations to evaluate the rate and outcomes of pregnancies, contraception and gynecological monitoring for women under 40 years old who underwent solid organ transplantation. Among 210 women, progestin was the most widely used contraceptive method. Of the 210 women, 24 (11.4%) conceived 33 pregnancies of which 25 (75.8%) were planned with an immunosuppressant therapy switch. Of the 33 pregnancies, 7 miscarried (21.2%) and 21 (63.7%) resulted in a live birth with a high rate of pre-eclampsia (50%). No graft rejections were observed during pregnancies. Among the deliveries, 19 were premature (90.5%, mostly due to induced delivery) and the C-section rate was high (52.4%). No particular pathology was identified among newborns. We conclude that pregnancies following solid organ transplantation are feasible, and while they are at an increased risk of pre-eclampsia and prematurity, they should still be permitted with close surveillance by a multidisciplinary care team
