 | | The role and indication of this technique on the outcome of antenatally diagnosed posterior urethral valves remains to be defined. | | | The need for bladder level surgery is probably not changed by ureterocele incision (for better or worse), but the ease of ureteral reimplantation may be improved by decompression of the dilated ureter. | | | There is little consensus on the appropriate use of transurethral incision in the literature, although this may not be so true in practice. |

| | Journal of Family Practice: Determining the viability of early pregnancies: two case reports |
| | Ultrasonography and quantitative measurement of the [beta]-subunit of human chorionic gonadatropin ([bega]-HCG) have raised the expectation that early determination of fetal viability is possible. | | | The evidence pointed to an inevitable abortion; however, the patient's stable condition and the clinician's skepticism about the available information prompted further waiting. | | | In addition, rapid determination of a failed pregnancy or blighted ovum is often sought to facilitate quick evacuation of the products of conception. |

| | Suboptimal Fetal Positions |
| | If a woman (primigravida) regularly uses upright and forward leaning postures, particularly during the last 6 weeks of her pregnancy (the last 2-3 for a multigravida), her baby is given an excellent chance of positioning itself into the OA position. | | | Optimal fetal positioning: a midwifery approach to increasing the number of normal births. | | | A quick sono in the DR showed no neck masses and the fetal chest directly to the left of the maternal midline. |
