Not only has inters- tellar space been spectacularly opened up to human exploration but, through a conti- nuing medical and technological development of no less importance, «intrauterine spa- ce», the world in which we spend our prenatal life from conception to birth, has become increasingly accessible to science. As little as about 50 years ago, the fetal heart sounds could be auscultated only with the aid of a primitive stethoscope. There was no other access to the unborn child for routi- nely applicable medicine. Today a new great fi eld —Prenatal Medicine— if we include the fi rst week of life —the interdisciplinary Perinatal Medicine— has come into being on a scale that is entirely comparable to the progress made in aerospatial science. The importance of intrauterine medicine is growing rapidly and is making great and varied scientifi c progress. More and more evidence now indicates that prenatal life is a major determinant of adult health and disease. So for instance the increasing realization that two modem epidemics —obesity and diabetes— as well as premature death from cardiovascular disease, may have their origins in environmental factors experienced during intrauterine life have given our discipline a much greater importance than anyo- ne ever dreamed possible. Therefore, I believe that patients, families, colleagues and governments are ready to recognize that a major revolution is now taking place. The prevention of diseases as well as the promotion of health should begin in utero. A great number of national and international societies of Perinatal Medicine have been founded in the meantime. In so far there was a logical need to establish also a more su- perordinated institution, the International Academy of Perinatal Medicine. What is the vision for the future of our Academy? Most continents are represented by the Fellows. They have been elected to fellowship because of their outstanding scientifi c contributions and also because of their dedication to serve as leaders of their communi- ties. We hope that the collective talent and energy of our Fellows will be used to ensure that our two patients —mother and fetus— are given all the benefi ts that they deserve, which we now have every chance to achieve more than ever before. An advantage of the Academy is the continuous availability of its leading and acting experts. This is a compensatory potential compared with societies where relatively frequent change of leading experts is common after only short intervals, in particular within their boards. Therefore it is a good solution to have both; namely different socie- ties with their specifi c character, and above them a kind of superordinated intellectual common home. cap_00_000-010.indd 7 20/5/08 06:53:32 8 INTERNATIONAL ACADEMY OF PERINATAL MEDICINE (IAPM) It was a very special event when the three leading International Societies in our fi eld agreed and recommended the foundation of the International Academy of Perinatal Me- dicine, in 2005 in Barcelona. The Societies and their, at that time, acting Presidents were: the oldest, the European Association of Perinatal Medicine under the presidentship of Prof. Aris Antsaklis, Athens; the Society «The Fetus as a Patient» under the presidentship of Prof. Frank Chervenak, New York; and the youngest, the World Association of Perina- tal Medicine under the presidentship of Prof. Asim Kurjak, Zagreb. The real architect who prepared the constitution in a masterly way and who organized the impressive ceremonial foundation was our Secretary General Prof. José María Carre- ra, Barcelona. We are also very thankful to him that he took over the preparation of this book about the history of our still young Academy. We respect him and appreciate his tireless and valuable activities. I wish our Academy success in achieving all its ambitious aims. cap_00_000-010.indd 8 20/5/08 06:53:32 FOREWORD 9 FOREWORD By José M.

  • Introduction

    Introduction

    Introduction Just over a century has passed since a team of scholars from across Europe, led by German historian of ancient philosophy and science Hermann Diels (1848–1922)1, compiled the manuscripts containing Greek medical texts and their medieval translations into a catalogue2. Following such classical bibliographies as the Bibliotheca Graeca by Johann Albert Fabricius (1668–1736)3 and the several Bibliothecae by Albrecht von Haller (1708–1777)4, Diels, as the catalogue became known, was a landmark in classical and medico-historical scholarship5. It was not completely 1 For a broad approach to Diels’ multifaceted activity, see for example Calder et al. 1999. All works referred to in this introduction are cited in an abbreviated form (author’s last name and year of publication). For the full reference, see the bibliography at pp. xxi–xxx. 2 The catalogue was published in two issues in 1905 and 1906, in the proceedings of Berlin Acade- my of Science, with a supplement in 1908 in the same series (Diels 1905, 1906a, and 1908, respectively). The 1905 and 1906 issues were published together as a volume in 1906 (Diels 1906b) with a slightly different title (Die Handschriften der antiken Ärzte, Griechische Abtei- lung) which implied that a similar programme would have dealt with the Latin manuscripts. The frontmatter of the second issue (1906a), which provided a general presentation of the programme, the list of the collaborators, and the bibliography, is reproduced as the front matter of this volume with the same pagination as in the first publication. All three issues (1905, 1906a, and 1908) were reprinted in 1970 with an introduction by Fridolf Kudlien (1928–2008) (Kudlien 1970).

Dr. Bugliarello, Friends, Associates and Family of Sonya and Ernst Weber. It is my honor and privilege to speak on behalf of the dose members of the Weber family. Dr. Bugliarello, we are grateful to you and to Polytechnic for establishing the Sonya and Ernst Weber Scholarship Fund. The criterion for the awards - based on excellence and regardless of need is most appropriate. This is consonant with the lives of the Webers. They have searched for the good - for things of real value. And when things of value were discovered, they were able to recognize, cherish, nurture and reward them to assure their continuity and growth. Sonya and Ernst Weber are well known - both nationally and internationally, each in her and his own field. They have each been showered with honors for their achievements and contributions to a better way of life in our time and for the future to come - Ernst in the field of science as a physicist, engineer, educator and administrator; Sonya also in the field of science as a doctor of physical medicine and physical fitness.

Advances in diagnosis and management have led to a significant reduction in maternal mortality and morbidity from this disease in developed countries. In developing countries the incidence of maternal death attributed to eclampsia remains high and, in Ethiopia, maternal mortality from this complication has instead risen over the last decade. The purpose of this study was to review the incidence of eclampsia at the largest feto-maternal center in the country over one year in an attempt to determine what quality improvement measures are needed and could realistically be implemented within the system to decrease this complication. There were a total of 104 eclamptic patients during the study period. The hospital incidence of eclampsia was 82/10,000 deliveries excluding those arriving to the hospital in the postpartum period (28 cases). There were 8 maternal deaths making the case fatality rate 1 in 13 cases. The median convulsion to arrival time, referral to arrival time and magnesium sulphate administration time were found to be 3, 2 and 3 hours respectively.

    Current Measures to Prevent Late Abortion Or Prematurity

    Perinatology, edited by Erich Saling, Nestle" Nutrition Workshop Series, Vol. 26, Nestec, Ltd., Vevey/Raven Press, Ltd., New York © 1992. Current Measures to Prevent Late Abortion or Prematurity Erich Saling Department of Obstetrics, Berlin-Neukolln and Institute of Perinatal Medicine, Free University of Berlin, Mariendorfer Weg 28, D-I000 Berlin 44, Germany During the past few years it has been recognized more and more that ascending genital infection is an important factor in the etiology of prematurity. This is con- firmed in a number of reports in the literature. Recent reviews have been published by Romero et al. (1) and in this volume (see chapters by Eschenbach and Hobel). In a retrospective study by Schmitz, Riedewald, Schmeling, and myself (unpub- lished) we have tried to determine the cause of prematurity in 195 cases from our unit with delivery of an infant with a birth weight of less than 2,000 g and gestation less than 37 weeks. The results (Fig. 1) show that in 76% of the cases there was evidence of an infection. This means that there was direct evidence of organisms in the vagina or cervix which are known to be pathogenic or facultative pathogenic, and/or one or more of the following: raised C-reactive protein, IgA against chlamydia (never as a single parameter), leukocytosis, left shift of granulocytes, bacteriuria, abnormal placental histology, or (in several cases) manifest infections in the newborn. In 29% there was evidence of organisms as well as other signs of infection. In 47% the above-mentioned signs of infection were present but we could not find direct evidence of organisms.
