They attribute the immersion with "reverse oligohydramnios stemming from uteroplacental insufficiency". I assume they documented uteroplacental insufficiency? Did the article propose a mechanism for how it worked? What do they think is going on? What does religion have to do with this? Did this come from the thread on the other OBGYN.net list? >> Hi, Terry: I've been away for about 10 days, so I just got this note.... I did not get the article myself. It was posted on the obgyn-l list in response to my post that when one of the septuplets was having oligohydramnios, prayer could not hurt. And I asked if there was any treatment for oligo anyway. I was not aware of anything except bedrest. It was a really good question, wasn't it? Got a lot of response. I am sending the whole email below: >OBJECTIVE: The purpose was to summarize five cases where subtotal >immersion was associated with an increase in the amniotic fluid index. >STUDY DESIGN: Five women with oligohydramnios, as defined by an >amniotic fluid index < 8 cm, who underwent subtotal (shoulder-deep) >immersion therapy are described.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
