    Notes: Objective To determine the efficacy of a new regimen of the antiprogestogen mifepristone and gemeprost for midtrimester abortion.Design Prospective study.Setting Medical Termination Unit, Simpson Memorial Maternity Pavilion, Edinburgh.Subjects One hundred women undergoing midtrimester abortion.Interventions Women were pretreated with 200 mg mifepristone 36 h before prostaglandin; 1 mg gemeprost was administered every 6 h for the first 24 h. If abortion had not occurred, 1 mg gemeprost was administered 3 hourly over the next 12 h.Measurement and main results Ninety-six percent and 99% women aborted within 24 h and 48 h, respectively. The median prostaglandin-abortion interval was significantly shorter in multigravidae compared to primigravida (6.6 vs 8.2 h, P〈0.01). The median number of gemeprost pessaries to induce abortion was only two and 47% of women required one pessary. The incidence of vomiting and diarrhoea was 31% and 5%, respectively. Eighty-four percent of women required intramuscular diamorphine for analgesia. Thirty-three percent of women required an evacuation of the uterus following abortion.Conclusions The shortened induction-delivery interval following pretreatment with mifepristone makes it possible to conduct midtrimester abortion on a daycare basis.

    Notes: Objective Measurement of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) was used to investigate the occurrence of feto-maternal haemorrhage in women undergoing medical abortion.Design Three groups of women with amenorrhoea of 56 or less days were studied. A control and a mifepristone group had two blood samples taken 48 h apart. Women undergoing medical abortion with gemeprost had two blood samples taken 24 h apart.Setting Medical Termination Unit, Simpson Memorial Maternity Pavilion, Edinburgh.Subjects Three hundred and thirty-five women requesting abortion.Interventions Blood samples taken at 24 h or 48 h apart.Measurements and main results The rise in concentration of AFP in plasma was much higher (P= 0.01) in the two groups of women in whom abortion was induced by gemeprost or mifepristone than in control women. Whereas only 5% of women in the control group had a significant rise in AFP, 27% and 33% of women in the mifepristone and gemeprost groups, respectively, had a rise in AFP level which exceeded the 95th centile (≥38%). The concentration of hCG rose by 48 h in both control and mifepristone groups. Progesterone remained unchanged, and oestradiol decreased (P〈0.02) in the mifepristone group. By 24 h, there was a significant fall in the concentrations of hCG, progesterone and oestradiol in the group who had aborted after being given gemeprost.Conclusions Anti-D prophylaxis must be administered to rhesus negative women to avoid rhesus iso-immunisation.

    Notes: Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of the combination of mifepristone and an orally active prostaglandin, misoprostol, for early medical termination.Design Women with amenorrhoea ≤56 days were given 200 mg mifepristone. 48 h later, 600 μg misoprostol was given orally.Setting Medical Termination Unit, Simpson Memorial Maternity Pavilion, Edinburgh.Subjects 100 women requesting medical termination of pregnancy.Interventions Evacuation of uterus for incomplete abortion or on-going pregnancies.Results One woman had an incomplete abortion prior to administration of misoprostol. 92 (93%) out of 99 women had complete abortion following administration of misoprostol. There were three on-going pregnancies (3.0%, 95% confidence limits (CL) 0.6-8.6) and four incomplete abortions with this regimen (4.0%, 95% CL 1.1-10.0). 24% women vomited and 7% had diarrrhoea following administration of misoprostol. 62% did not require any analgesia.Conclusions The combination of misoprostol with mifepristone is inexpensive, simple, effective, noninvasive and an acceptable alternative to current regimens for medical termination.

    Notes: Summary. The effect of pretreatment with mifepristone on prostaglandin-induced abortion was investigated in a double-blind randomized trial involving 100 women in the second trimester of pregnancy. The women were randomly allocated to receive either 600 mg oral mifepristone or placebo tablets 36 h before the administration of gemeprost pessaries. The median interval between administration of prostaglandin and abortion was significantly shorter in the mifepristone group (6.8 h) compared with the placebo group (15.8 h). The women pretreated with mifepristone required significantly fewer gemeprost pessaries to induce abortion and experienced significantly less pain than the women who had received placebo.

    Notes: The occurrence of cystic glandular hyperplasia of the endometrium in adolescent girls has been reviewed. This condition has been diagnosed much less frequently in the South-Eastern Region of Scotland than in previously reported series. Only 5.3 cases per year were diagnosed in a population of 1 100 000 in a ten-year period. This represented 4.0 per cent of all cases of abnormal uterine bleeding requiring curettage in adolescent girls in the region, and 1.9 per cent of cases of cystic glandular hyperplasia from all age groups. Mild hyperplastic changes were found almost as frequently as the more classical “Swiss-cheese” cystic glandular hyperplasia. Patients showing more marked hyperplastic changes had a worse prognosis than those who only showed mild changes, in particular a high incidence of persistent menstrual abnormalities, repeated curettage, repeated hormone therapy, primary infertility and possible polycystic ovarian disease. The implications of the finding of cystic glandular hyperplasia in adolescent girls have been discussed.
