[Risk factors for fetal macrosomia in patients without gestational diabetes mellitus]. / Factores de riesgo de macrosomía fetal en pacientes sin diabetes mellitus gestacional.

BACKGROUND: Fetal macrosomia is birth weight of 4,000 grams or more, regardless of gestational age, in Mexico representing about 5.4%. Associated with multiple demographic, physiological, metabolic and genetic factors of each population. OBJECTIVE: Determine the risk factors associated with the development of fetal macrosomia in patients without gestational diabetes mellitus. METHODS: Retrospective, descriptive and comparative study of patients who came to delivery from January 2012 to June 2014, 88 patients, 23 patients with diagnosis of macrosomia, and 65 patients without macrosomia without gestational diabetes mellitus were included. RESULTS: An incidence of fetal macrosomia of 18.6%. Risk factors such as parity, history of fetal macrosomia, maternal age, maternal height more to 1.70 meters showed no difference, the percentage of overweight 105% showed 69% vs 52% on the control group and gestational diabetes screening altered that present 30.4 vs 20%. CONCLUSIONS: Increased incidence of macrosomia was demonstrated in patients with metabolic factors such as the percentage of overweight and screening altered gestational diabetes mellitus, as they showed higher prevalence in the study group, all modifiable with preconception nutritional management and during pregnancy, to reduce initial weight and weight gain, improved fasting and postprandial blood glucose in patients with positive screening and negative tolerance curve carbohydrates to maintain fetal growth curve with in the percentiles.

[Myomectomy and uterine desarterialization as conservative treatment for uterine fibroids: Review of clinic case]. / Miomectomía y desarterialización uterina como tratamiento conservador de la miomatosis de grandes elementos: reporte de un caso.

BACKGROUND: Uterine fibroids are the most common gynecological tumors; the prevalence increases with age. They can cause symptoms (20-50%). Myomectomy is an alternative for women who wish to preserve their fertility, increased risk of blood loss and longer operative time. Since 2000, a significant number of surgeons have performed occlusion of uterine arteries prior to myomectomy successfully. CASE REPORT: We report the case of a 24-year-old patient, with a history of premature birth; and starts her condition after obstetric event with abnormal uterine bleeding and postcoital bleeding, accompanied by intense, oppressive and stabbing abdominal pain and increased ab-dominal volume. At physical examination an enlarged abdominal wall by a tumor involving, abdominal pain on palpation, at the gynecological examination: frankly enlarged uterus, about 25 x 20 cm, painful and tenderness. Prior to myomectomy, uterine externalization takes place and proceeds to dearterialization of uterine arteries under the García-González technique, removing the tumor without complications, with an estimated 100 cc bleeding. The bilateral uterine artery ligation, is one of the methods used to re-duce intraoperative blood loss. It is a quick, simple technique, whose theoretical basis is that 90% of the irrigation of the uterus comes from the uterine arteries.
