Do pregnant women with asymptomatic bacteriuria need treatment?
The April issue of the Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology has published a very interesting article entitled “Asymptomatic pyuria in pregnant women during the first trimester is associated with an increased risk of adverse obstetrical outcomes” [1].

Preeclampsia: A review of the pathogenesis and possible management  strategies based on its pathophysiological derangements
This review is divided into three parts. The first part briefly describes the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. This is followed by reviewing previously reported management strategies of the disease based on its pathophysiological derangements. Finally, the author defines the safe and acceptable methods/medications that may be used to ‘prevent’ preeclampsia (in high risk patients) and those that may be used to ‘treat’ preeclampsia (meant to prolong the pregnancy in patients with established preeclampsia).

Perineal length among Vietnamese women
Vietnamese clinicians routinely perform episiotomies in the belief that 3rd –4th degree tears may be prevented, based partly on the view that Vietnamese women have a short perineal length that puts them at increased risk of tears. However, there is no evidence to suggest Vietnamese women have a short perineum compared with other populations. We aimed to determine the mean perineal length among Vietnamese women in early labor and in the second stage, and to compare this to findings from similar studies in other populations.
