“…The configuration was not correlated with parity, smoking, hypertension, preeclampsia, or preterm infants. The placental index for the extrachorial placenta was 4,7 and for the bilobate, 10.0 (p < 0.05).…”

Singleton placentas from 330 consecutive births were examined for size, shape, cord insertion, allanto-chorial vascular pattern and lobes. These factors were considered regarding possible interactions and correlation to pregnancy and perinatal outcome. Marginal cord insertion was correlated to extrachorial and bilobate placenta and to magistral wr mixed allanto-chorial vascular pattern. A paucity of lobes (less than 15) was associated with extrachorial placenta, marginal cord insertion, pre-eclampsia, gestational age less than 38 weeks and small for gestational age infants. The common denominator for abnormal configuration and marginal cord insertion seemed to be the paucity of lobes.

“…These data were stored in a computer, along with a number of clinical criteria (table I). Collection of obstetrical data, including the length of amenor rhea at delivery, and the macroscopical examination of placentae [Kloosterman and Huidekoper 1954], was performed by one independent investigator. The percentile chart of Kloosterman [1970] was used.…”

Antithrombin III (AT III) is the main physiological inhibitor of blood coagulation. In a prospective study, plasma AT III was determined in 653 women during pregnancy, using an automated amidolytic technique. A control value 8 weeks after delivery was obtained in 192 of the women. In women with pregnancy-induced or aggravated hypertension a significant decrease in AT III levels was observed compared with normotensive controls of the same period of gestation and compared with the patients’ own control values 6–8 weeks after delivery. No AT III depression occurred in patients with chronic hypertension during pregnancy. Patients with pregnancy hypertension and proteinuria had lower AT III levels than those without proteinuria, whose AT III levels were also depressed. Lowest AT III levels were seen in 2 eclamptic patients and in patients with severe preeclampsia, whose pregnancies were terminated for fetal distress while the infants were still preterm. Monitoring AT III levels is of value in preeclampsia.

“…Bei allen bisher genau untersuchten Saugetieren besteht am Ende der Schwangerschaft undloder bei der Ceburt eine positive Korrelation zwischen dem Gewicht der Placenta und dem Gewicht des Neugeborenen. Diese Korrelation kommt erst ziemlich spat wihrend der Entwicklung zustande und fehlt in den jungeren (1955,1963,1965,1966,1967) und von KLOO-STERMAN und HUIDEKOPER (1952, 1954 REYNOLDS (1959) Meinung bei, wenn er schreibt: "One would do well, I believe, to investigate the uterus in such situations, instead of simply concluding that genes are responsible. They do play a basic role in inheritance, but the physiologist must concern himself with the milieu in and through which genes work.…”
