(1) Aplasia of the trachea associated with multiple congenital anomalies is described in a stillborn male foetus with single umbilical artery.
(2) Among infants weighing less than 2 500 g, perinatal mortality was higher in the local hospital than in the university hospital, the higher mortality being due to the higher rate of stillborn infants.
(3) The presence or absence of the heterophile transplantation antigen was sought in renal tissue from stillborn infants, primary cell cultures, and several organs from adult human cadavers.
(4) Five normal infants were delivered by cesarean section, and one stillborn infant was delivered vaginally.
(5) A stillborn girl, with external signs of trisomy 18 syndrome, was subsequently shown to have a mosaic pattern in both the lymphocytes and the placenta.
(6) Two infants with previously abnormal or suspicious FAT, OCT, and intrapartum fetal heart tracings were stillborn.
(7) Three stillborn infants were assessed as SGA, even when gestational age was estimated from the last occasion when fetal heart sounds were registered.
(8) A stillborn male child with anencephaly and multiple malformations was found to have the karyotype 46,XY,r(13) (p11q21.1).
(9) The third fetus was mildly hydropic, attributed to hemorrhage, and was stillborn.
(10) In a total sample of 105 triploid spontaneous abortions and live-born and stillborn infants, the parental origin could be determined in 77%.
(11) This study ascertained 164 males with non-communicating hydrocephalus in live or stillborn patients in Victoria.
(12) Intravascular "mulberry-like" bodies in a stillborn female infant with moderate maceration are reported.
(13) An increase was also seen in the number of fetal resorptions and stillborn pups per number of implantation sites in the exposed specimens as compared to the sham and cage controls.
(14) Bacteriological and pathological examinations of all 73 stillborn infants and 96 infants dying soon after delivery in Västerås, Sweden during the period 1971-1974 are reported.
(15) The agalactic sows farrowed a larger number of stillborn piglets, which indicates an early establishment of the disease.
(16) A detailed examination of a stillborn fetus with Apert's syndrome showed several unexpected findings, which prompted a reevaluation of the heretofore generally accepted hypotheses regarding the cause of the dysmorphic craniofacial features in this syndrome.
(17) Abortions, stillborn calves, neonatal mortalities and excessive numbers of weak, slow-starting newborn have contributed to significant losses within the valuable breeding herds at the Roman L. Hruska U.S. Meat Animal Research Center.
(18) The strongest association was with exposure to stillborn kittens--11 of 51 cases vs. none of 102 controls (P less than .00000)--and with exposure to parturient cats (odds ratio, 10.3; 95% confidence interval, 3.5-31.8).
(19) A stillborn male with skeletal anomalies resembling achondrogenesis with remarkably sclerotic bones is reported.
(20) It is postulated that breathing alters lung-tissue elasticity during the neonatal period, as demonstrated by a significant increase in Vmax in specimens from foals breathing for more than 24 hr compared with those from stillborn foals or those aged less than 24 hr.
