Varner, Michael W. | Multiple gestation: time interval between delivery of the first and second twins. | A clinical investigation was undertaken to challenge the commonly accepted view that the interval between the birth of the first and second twins should be preferably within 15 minutes and certainly no more than 30 minutes. During 1981 and 1982, 115 patients with live-born twins at 34 or more weeks'... | Twins; Time Interval Between Births; Fetal Monitoring | 1984-04 |

Digre, Kathleen B. | Not so benign intracranial hypertension. | Despite many controversies, intracranial hypertension due to use of doxycycline does occur. Practitioners prescribing the tetracyclic antibiotics should be aware of the syndrome of increased intracranial pressure, and pay particular attention to the ocular fundus for papilloedema.

Varner, Michael W. | Physiologic changes in pregnancy: surgical implications. | Pregnancy has measurable effects on essentially every organ system in a woman's body. An understanding of these changes is vital for determining what is normal or abnormal in a pregnant woman. These changes frequently alter symptoms and signs of surgical diseases during pregnancy. In addition, ma... | Pregnancy; Physiologic Changes; Surgical Implications | 1994-06 |

Varner, Michael W.; Digre, Kathleen B. | Pseudotumor cerebri and pregnancy. | Pseudotumor cerebri (PTC) is most commonly seen in obese women of reproductive age. We studied 109 women with PTC between ages 16 and 44 years. In 11, PTC started during pregnancy. Thirteen women with previous diagnosis of PTC, including two of the aforementioned 11, had an additional 17 documented ... | Pregnancy Complications; Pseudotumor Cerebri; Vision disorders; Headache; Intracranial Pressure | 1984-06 |

Varner, Michael W. | Randomized study of closure of the peritoneum at cesarean delivery. | This study was conducted to test the hypothesis that nonclosure of the visceral and parietal peritoneum during low transverse cervical cesarean delivery is not associated with increased intraoperative or immediate postoperative complications. One hundred thirteen patients scheduled for low transvers... | Cesarean Section; Postoperative Complications; Visceral and Parietal Peritoneum closure | 1991-06 |

Varner, Michael W.; Hatasaka, Harry H. | Recurrent pregnancy loss. | Recurrent pregnancy loss is a frustrating clinical dilemma for both patients and physicians because, in most cases, causes are nebulous and few treatments with proven benefit can be offered. Involved, expensive tests have frequently been proposed and their use has often filtered into clinical practi... | Recurrent Pregnancy Loss; Uterus/abnormalities; Chromosome Disorders; Abortion, Habitual | 1994-06 |

Varner, Michael W.; Porter T. Flint | Risk of preterm birth across generations. | OBJECTIVE: To examine the risk of preterm birth for mothers who themselves were born before term. METHODS: Data were taken from a linked data base of birth certificates composed of two cohorts: 1) a parental cohort of women born between 1947 and 1957 and 2) their offspring born between 1970 and 1992... | Preterm mothers; Pregnancy; Premature; Risk | 1997-07 |

Varner, Michael W. | Risk of uterine rupture with a trial of labor in women with multiple and single prior cesarean delivery. | OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the risk for uterine rupture is increased in women attempting vaginal birth after multiple cesarean deliveries. METHODS: We conducted a prospective multicenter observational study of women with prior cesarean delivery undergoing trial of labor and elective repeat oper... | Cesarean Section, Repeat; Uterine Rupture; Vaginal Birth after Cesarean; Obstetric Labor Complications/surgery | 2006-07 |

Varner, Michael W.; Clark, Edward B.; Fernando, Kumari L.; Mathews, V. John | Robust estimation of fetal heart rate variability using Doppler ultrasound. | This paper presents a new measure of heart rate variability (HRV) that can be estimated using Doppler ultrasound techniques and is robust to variations in the angle of incidence of the ultrasound beam and the measurement noise. This measure employs the multiple signal characterization (MUSIC) algori... | Prenatal Ultrasonography; Fetal Heart Rate; Blood Flow Velocity; Algorithms | 2003-08 |

Varner, Michael W.; Jackson, G. Marc | Severe pulmonary hypertension in pregnancy following successful repair of ventricular septal defect in childhood. | BACKGROUND: Because of advances in surgical repair, an increasing number of women born with structural cardiac disease now live to reproductive age. Patients treated successfully in childhood are followed for varying periods of time, then may be lost to follow-up or told that no follow-up is necessa... | Pregnancy Complications, Cardiovascular; Heart Septal Defects, Ventricular; Hypertension, Pulmonary | 1993-10 |

Digre, Kathleen B. | Significance of CT and MR findings in sphenoid sinus disease. | Disorders of the paranasal sinuses, particularly the sphenoid sinus, can be associated with significant disorders of the optic and other cranial nerves. We examined 100 consecutive routine CT scans, 100 posterior fossa CT scans, and 100 MR scans to look for evidence of sinus disease, especially of t... | Sphenoid Sinus; Vision Disorders; Paranasal Sinus Diseases; Magnetic Resonance Imaging | 1989-05 |

Varner, Michael W. | Systemic lupus erythematosus. | Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease of unresolved cause afflicting predominantly women in their childbearing years.

Varner, Michael W. | X-ray pelvimetry in clinical obstetrics. | X-ray pelvimetry has been used in obstetrics for over 80 years, but its clinical usefulness remains uncertain. Review of 101 consecutive x-ray pelvimetries obtained by Brown's modification of the Colcher-Sussman technique demonstrated the anteroposterior measurements to be of no value in predicting ... | X-rey Pelvimetry;Labor Presentation; Ultrasonography; Abdominal Scout Film | 1980-09 |

Varner, Michael W. | hPL: physiologic and pathophysiologic observations. | Serum human placental lactogen (hPL) levels were studied in 806 women in late pregnancy. The hPL levels were positively correlated with birth weight but were unrelated to maternal age, parity, socioeconomic status, or the sex of the newborn. The hPL levels peaked at 37 weeks' gestation and then decl... | hPL; Pregnancy Complications; Pregnancy, Multiple; Infant, Newborn; Birth Weight | 1979-08 |
