RESUMEN
Abdominal compartment syndrome is a multiple organ dysfunction ascribed to a sharp increase in intra-abdominal pressure.It is observed in new-borns with abdominal or diaphragmatic wall defects (omphalocele and gastroschisis) and in adults in events triggering a sharp increase in volume of abdominal cavity liquid (closed or penetrating traumas, intraperitoneal or retroperitoneal bleeding, very aggressive reanimation. Diagnosis arises from clinical signs, abdominal distension and measurement of intra-abdominal pressure as well as renal, respiratory and cardiovascular involvement. Measurement of intra-abdominal pressure is based on inferior vena cava or intravesical vein pressure. Treatment consists of evacuation by abdominal puncture maintained and adequately monitored during 8 to 15 days.

OBJECTIVE: To study prospectively the relation of parity, prepregnancy body mass index (BMI), and exclusive breastfeeding to weight gain. DESIGN: The cohort of the Nurse's Health Study II, with analysis restricted to women who were aged 24 to 40 y at baseline (1989), who had a history of no more than one past full-term pregnancy at baseline, gave birth to one child between 1990 and 1991, but had no other pregnancies during the follow-up. SUBJECTS: 1538 of the 33 082 nulliparous women and 2810 of the 20 261 primiparous, in 1989. MEASUREMENTS: Introduction of daily formula/milk was assumed to represent the end of exclusive breastfeeding period. Duration of exclusive breastfeeding was categorized into 0, 1-3, 4-7, 8-11, and 12 months or more. RESULTS: After adjusting for age, physical activity, and BMI in 1989, lactation was associated with a weight gain from 1989 to 1993 of approximately 1 kg (statistically significant only for women nulliparous in 1989 with a BMI <25 kg/m(2) (P=0.02) and for those women primiparous in 1989, with a BMI >/=25 kg/m(2) (P=0.04)) comparing women who breastfed with women who did not, and duration of lactation was unrelated to the magnitude of weight change (P>0.40 for all comparisons). CONCLUSIONS: Although promotion of breastfeeding has high priority because of its enormous advantages for a newborn child, the associated maternal weight reduction is minimal. Dietary guidelines for pregnant and breastfeeding women should include ways to prevent weight retention after parity.

Las lesiones ováricas fetales son de baja incidencia, siendo su diagnóstico prenatal de importancia, ya que permite orientar al clínico respecto a la probable etiología y decidir su manejo perinatal. En la siguiente publicación se revisan cuatro casos de lesiones ováricas con diagnóstico prenatal y el resultado del seguimiento postnatal de cada una de ellas
