Art,

The baby was delivered vaginally at 25+5 w on May, 21 710 Grams. The observation of the undescended testes was made at 23+2 w. At present at 14 days the testicles are descended and there seems to be a beginnning bilateral hernia. Unfortunately the ductus arteriosus has reopened and the newborn is under a repeat curse of indometacin. Let me know if you care for some more details. Regards Wolfgang

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.
