Re: amniotic bandsFrom: Allen Gardner (allen.gardner@utoronto.ca)Wed Dec 11 10:40:50 1996
I sometimes get that observation reported to me as well. I think it's important for the ultrasonographer to let you know where that band is in relation to the fetus. If the band is attached to the fetus then there will probably, if not certainly, be a disruption of growth at that site. So far, however, in my experience there has been no fetal attachments and with continued enlargement of the uterus the band has "disappeared", or snapped, with no ill effects. Someone might have come across a series that evaluated outcomes. Hope this helps. Allen. On Tue, 10 Dec 1996 22:57:20 -0500 Violet2@aol.com wrote:

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.
