  • Kypros Nicolaides Was Born in 1953 in Paphos, Cyprus. He Studied Medicine at King's College School of Medicine and Dentistry I
    Kypros Nicolaides was born in 1953 in Paphos, Cyprus. He studied Medicine at King’s College School of Medicine and Dentistry in London and soon after graduation joined the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in 1980 doing research with Professor Stuart Campbell and Dr. Charles Rodeck as his first assistant and working mainly on fetoscopic techniques and procedures. He was well-known for his manual dexterity at procedures and the Rodeck-Nicolaides team soon produced some very important papers on the use of fetoscopy in the management of a wide range of conditions such Rhesus iso-immunization, fetal hydrops and intrauterine growth restriction and blood and tissue sampling in the diagnosis of single gene defects. After the departure of Professor Charles Rodeck, Nicolaides became director of the Harris Birthright Research Centre for Fetal Medicine, the first fetal medicine unit in the United Kingdom. He began a programme of research and teaching which made King's College Hospital an important center of fetal medicine activities for thousands of visiting doctors. (The Harris Birthright Centre, located at King's College Hospital, was set up in 1984 through the generosity of Sir Philip Harris and the charity organisation Birthright. It has developed into a major research and clinical unit for fetal diagnosis and therapy. The research of the centre is not financed by the National Health Service but is mainly dependent on donations). Nicolaides discarded the fetoscope and pursued all blood sampling procedures by taking blood from the placental cord insertion, popularising the term "cordocentesis". The technique was initially pioneered in France in 1983 by Fernand Daffos, but Nicolaides developed the single operator method and soon investigated many aspect of fetal physiology and pathophysiology such as fetal blood gases and acid-base status; correlations between fetal blood gases and Doppler; fetal metabolism, fetal endocrinology, fetal immunology, fetal hematology and fetal biochemistry in diabetic pregnancies.

  • Examination of the Newborn
    Examination of the Newborn Newborn babies are examined at around 6 to 72 hours after their birth to rule out major congenital abnormalities and reassure the parents that their baby is healthy. This practical text is a step-by-step guide for all practitioners who undertake this clinical examination. It is particularly valuable for midwives and nurses undertaking Examination of the Newborn modules as well as a useful reference work for those already performing this role. It provides midwives and other practitioners involved in neonatal examination with a comprehensive guide to the holistic examination of the newborn infant. Examination of the Newborn encourages the reader to view each mother and baby as unique, taking into account their experiences preconceptually, antenatally and through childbirth. The text covers: • the role of the first examination as a screening tool; • normal fetal development; • parents’ concerns and how to respond to them; • the impact of antenatal diagnostic screening; • the events of labour and birth; • the clinical examination of the neonate; • the identification and management of congenital abnormalities; • accountability and legal issues. This new edition is thoroughly revised throughout to meet current Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and National Screening Committee standards. It includes a new chapter on the context and effectiveness of the examination and increased coverage of the impact of intrapartum management on the newborn, including fetal monitoring, place of birth, mode of birth and pain relief. Case scenarios, model answers, questions and further reading help the reader to apply the content to their own practice. Helen Baston is Consultant Midwife: Public Health at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, UK, a Supervisor of Midwives and Lecturer/Researcher at Sheffield Hallam University, UK.

    To My Family. LASER COAGULATION IN COMPLICATED MONOCHORIONIC PREGNANCIES Submitted by Dr Gergana Peeva For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Medicine Universidad Autónoma de Madrid March 2018 Directors: Professor Kypros Herodotou Nicolaides King’s College University of London, England Professor María de la Calle Fernández-Miranda Universidad Autónoma de Madrid LASER COAGULATION IN COMPLICATED MONOCHORIONIC PREGNANCIES. SUMMARY Monochorionic pregnancies are found in 1 in 200 births, but the incidence is increasing because of the widespread use of assisted reproductive technology. Monochorionic twins, compared to dichorionic twins, have a considerably higher risk of pregnancy complications that are dues to the process of splitting of the single embryonic mass [congenital abnormalities, conjoint twins, selective fetal growth restriction (sFGR)] and the communicating placental vessels between the two circulations [twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence, twin anemia polycythemia sequence (TAPS)]. This thesis reports on the outcome of pregnancies with sFGR (with and without superimposed TTTS) treated by endoscopic laser separation of the inter-twin communicating placental vessels. Triplet pregnancies in which two or all three fetuses are monochorionic, are at very high risk of perinatal death. The incidence of dichorionic triamniotic pregnancies has dramatically increased following the practice of IVF with delayed transfer of two embryos. This thesis reports on the outcome of monochorionic and dichorionic triplet pregnancies complicated by TTTS (with and without sFGR) treated by endoscopic laser separation of the communicating placental vessels. The thesis also reports on the development of a first-trimester technique for embryo reduction of one of the two monochorionic twins by ultrasound-guided interstitial laser ablation of the pelvic vessels.
