Hyperreactio luteinalis differentiated from severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in a spontaneously conceived pregnancy
Article Abstract:
Hyperreactio luteinalis may not require surgical intervention. In this rare condition of pregnancy, the ovaries enlarge, form cysts, and sometimes induce fluid imbalances. Hyperreactio luteinalis is usually treated surgically, but a similar condition, hyperstimulation syndrome, which results from overstimulating the ovaries of patients having infertility treatments, is treated conservatively with symptom management. In this case, 10 weeks into a spontaneous pregnancy, a woman developed hyperreactio luteinalis. She was hospitalized and treated and her symptoms and the ovarian cysts resolved gradually.

Umbilical cord blood acid-base state: what is normal?
Article Abstract:
Normal, vigorous newborns may exhibit a large range of blood acid-base levels. Researchers obtained umbilical cord blood acid-base values and blood gases from 16,000 newborns. Most (94%) were vigorous newborns, defined as those with Apgar scores of seven or higher five minutes after birth. The average blood pH for vigorous newborns was 7.26. Acid-base values that are more than two standard deviations away from this average represent abnormal values. Normal acid-base values range from 2.5 to 97.5th percentiles. Abnormal acid-base values in a newborn can lead to neurologic impairment.
