Ibuprofen-related renal tubular acidosis (RTA) has not been previously described in pregnancy but its occurrence outside of pregnancy is being increasingly described. In this case, a 34-year-old woman presented in the third trimester of pregnancy with Type 1 or distal RTA related to ibuprofen and codeine abuse. It was complicated by acute on chronic renal dysfunction and hypokalemia. Delivery at 37 weeks gestation due to concerns of evolving preeclampsia resulted in the birth of a healthy neonate. RTA and hypokalemia were remediated and ibuprofen and codeine abuse ceased. Some renal dysfunction however continued. Thorough and repeated history taking as well as vigilance for this condition is suggested.

Two fatal cases of generalized infection in the neonatal period with Coxsackie virus, Group B, Type 4 were studied. The virus was present in high titer in the myocardial tissue of both infants and recovered as well from the spinal cord and liver of one. In the latter case, the infection was acquired in utero as indicated by the onset of illness at 13 hours of age and death at 36 hours. Both virus strains, when inoculated into newborn mice, produced acute destruction of the anterior horns of the spinal cord, indistinguishable from that induced by poliomyelitis virus. The clinical and pathologic features in 25 cases of this disorder are reviewed.

Abstract Background We aimed to analyze the correlation between increased fetal movements in the third trimester and neonatal outcomes. Methods We enrolled pregnant women (n = 219) who reported increased/excessive fetal movements in the third trimester in our hospital. A control group of healthy women (n = 278) who had undergone regular childbirth and delivery in our hospital during the same period and did not report abnormal fetal movements were also recruited. All pregnant women underwent fetal non-stress test. We analyzed the neonatal weight, appearance, pulse, grimace, activity, and respiration score, degrees of amniotic fluid contamination, amniotic fluid volume, conditions of umbilical cord around the neck and cord length, and incidence of small for gestational age. In addition, the incidence of preterm delivery, cesarean section rate, postpartum hemorrhage, and other postpartum complications were also analyzed. We then analyzed the correlation between increased/excessive fetal activity and neonatal outcomes. Results Women with complaints of increased/excessive fetal movements exhibited increased fetal movements mainly around 31 and 39 weeks of gestation. Several pregnancy variables, including number of previous delivery, gestational age (less than 34 weeks and more than 37 weeks) and vaginal birth rate, were associated with increased/excessive fetal movements. In addition, women who reported increased/excessive fetal movements had higher odds of large for gestational age (LGA), particularly those with gestational age over 37 weeks. Conclusion Increased/excessive fetal movements may be used to predict adverse neonatal outcome such as LGA.
