Re: placenta- 19/03/99 From: James S Smeltzer MD (gaperina@mindspring.com) Tue Mar 30 05:58:30 1999 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: James S Smeltzer MD: "Re: sonographers right to give information to patient" Previous message: James S Smeltzer MD: "Re: sonographers right to give information to patient" In reply to: art fougner, md: "Re: placenta- 19/03/99" Art, On placentas: I agree. BIG & FAT is bad: Hydrops, triploidy, aneuploidy, syphilis, Rh, parvo, congenital heart disease, CMV, occult abruptions (once had one with 3l of blood that looked exactly like placenta), toxo, rubella (only from books), HSV are the ones I remember. I have seen many placentas that were fundal to os. Some of these bled. Some associated with preterm labor. None I can recall were previa at term.

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.
