OBJETIVE: To determine the relationship between short maternal height (< 146 cm) and cesarean section incidence. Historical cohort study. Patients: Ninety-four primiparae: 47 < 146 cm high and 47 ³146 cm, 19 to 34 year-old with pregnancies between 37and 41 weeks, spontaneous onsetand without other risk factors forcesarean section. Results: Of the short women, 29,7% had cesarean section, and only 8,5% of those ³ 146 cm required cesarean section, with statistical significance between small stature and cesarean section (X2= 6,9, g.l= 1, p < 0, 05). Women below 146 cm were 3,5 times more likely to have a cesarean section than taller women (RR = 3,5; CI,1-11, 6). CONCLUSIÓN: Short maternal height is associated with more cesarean section rates.

We describe a case of 20-week pregnancy in an unicornuate uterus noncommunicating rudimentary horn evidenced by laparotomy and confirmed by anatomopathology study. The literature is reviewed.

Objetivo: Identificar con ecoendoscopía (EE) páncreas hiperecogénico y determinar factores de riesgo para el mismo en una muestra de pacientes evaluados entre Junio 2005-Mayo 2010. Material y métodos: Estudio de casos y controles, retrospectivo, en una población de 5495 pacientes evaluados, de los cuales se seleccionaron 989 como casos (con un aumento de ecogenicidad parcial o global del páncreas) y 642 controles (con ecopatrón pancreático normal). Se compararon variables demográficas, clínicas y ecoendoscópicas entre ambos grupos de estudios y se calcularon OR y sus correspondiente IC95% después de realizar análisis bivariado y multivariado de los factores de riesgo. Resultados: En la población evaluada, los factores de riesgo identificados con mayor fuerza de asociación en el análisis multivariado fueron esteatosis hepática (OR=29,581; IC95% 17,942-48,770), hepatopatí...
