Pagina 291 - There is no longer any obstacle to the passage of the presenting part of the child into the cavity of the pelvis, and the force of the pains now generally effects the rupture of the membranes and the escape of the liquor amnii. There is often observed, at this time, a temporary relaxation in the frequency of the pains, which had been steadily increasing ; but they soon recommence with increased vigor. If the abdomen be now examined, it will be observed to be much diminished in size, partly in consequence...
Pagina 167 - Take that day nine months forward as 275, unless February is included, in which case it is taken as 273 days. To this add three days in the former case, or five if February is in the count, to make up the 278. This 278th day should then be fixed on as the middle of the week, or, to make...
Pagina vii - EDITION. THOSE who have studied the progress of Midwifery know that there is no department of medicine in which more has been done of late years, and none in which modern views of practice differ more widely from those prevalent only a short time ago.
Pagina 336 - Dublin school especially have dwelt on its importance as a preventive of post-partum haemorrhage; but the distinct enunciation of the doctrine that the placenta should be pressed, and not drawn, out of the uterus, we owe to Crede and other German writers; and it is only of late years that this practice has become at all common.
Pagina 89 - Before we commenced the study of the decidua we had traced the impregnated ovum into the uterine cavity, and described the formation of the blastodermic membrane by the junction of the cells of the muriform body. We must now proceed to consider the further changes which result in the development of the foetus and of the membranes that surround it. It would be quite out of place in a work of this kind to enter into the subject of embryology at any length, and we must therefore be content witli such...
Pagina 136 - ... and the like. As a consequence it was the habitual custom, not yet by any means entirely abandoned, to treat pregnant women on an antiphlogistic system ; to place them on low diet, to administer lowering remedies, and very often to practise venesection, sometimes to a surprising extent. Thus it was by no means rare for women to be bled six or eight times during the latter months...
Pagina 181 - ... healthy ovum of about one month. There were no signs of a double uterus in this case. The patient had menstruated regularly during the time she had been pregnant, and was unwell three weeks before she aborted.
Pagina 191 - ... uterus ; and the differential diagnosis must always be very difficult, and often impossible. A curious example of the difficulties of diagnosis is recorded by Joulin, in which Huguier, and six or seven of the most skilled obstetricians of Paris, agreed on the existence of extrauterine pregnancy...
Pagina 286 - I rather incline to the opinion that when the foetus has attained its full development, when its organs are prepared for external life, some change takes place in its circulation which involves a correlative disturbance in the maternal circulation which excites the attempt at labor.
Pagina 342 - The patient becomes very drowsy, doses between the pains, and wakes up as each contraction commences. It may be necessary to give .a fourth dose at a longer interval, say an hour after the third dose, to keep up and prolong the soporific action, but this is seldom necessary, and I have rarely given more than a drachm of chloral during the entire progress of labour.
