In this study, this led to half of the women in the breakfast group ovulating at least once, compared to a fifth of the "dinner group", which suggests improved fertility. Although these results are encouraging, there are some limitations to the study, including: Ovulation was only recorded over a three-month timespan, and it is not clear how often any of the women were ovulating in the previous year. This study was reli...

Self-assessment of the outcome of early medical abortion versus clinic follow-up in India: a randomised, controlled, non-inferiority trial
This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01827995. Findings Between April 23, 2013, and May 15, 2014, 731 women were recruited and assigned to clinic follow-up (n=366) or home assessment (n=365), of whom 700 were analysed for the main outcomes (n=336 and n=364, respectively). Complete abortion without continuing pregnancy, surgical intervention, or additional mifepristone and misoprostol was reported in 313 (93%) of 336 women in the clinic follow-up group and 347 (95%) of 364 women in the home-assessment group (difference −2·2%, 95% CI −5·9 to 1·6). One case of haemorrhage occurred in each group ...

Effects of prenatal childbirth education for partners of pregnant women on paternal postnatal mental health: a systematic review and meta-analysis protocol

Therefore, support for expectant fathers is an important issue in the maternal and perinatal health-care system. However, resources on prenatal childbirth education for partners of pregnant women remain limited. The results of this review will provide evidence for prenatal education programs for expectant fathers. Systematic review registration PROSPERO CRD42015017919

Simultaneous Compared With Interval Medical Abortion Regimens Where Home Use Is Restricted.
CONCLUSION: Simultaneous administration of mifepristone and misoprostol is 97% as effective as a 24- to 48-hour interval at all gestational ages 63 days or less with no increase in the risk of clinically significant adverse events. Pragmatic use of simultaneous dosing is reasonable given the small difference in effectiveness. PMID: 29528933 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The importance of face to face, group antenatal education classes for first time mothers: A qualitative study
CONCLUSIONS: Access to a wide range of information increases women's anxieties about labour that women want addressed through antenatal education. However, antenatal classes serve broader functions beyond information- giving and women anticipate that attending antenatal classes will address both their own and their partners' needs.IMPLICATIONS: Service providers should ensure their antenatal education provision provides the information required and is structured in a way that enables women to develop relationships and supports partners' engagement in the transition to parenthood.PMID:35364368 | DOI:10.1016/j.midw.2022.103295

Listeriosis: A Resurfacing Menace
Listeriosis is a rare but potentially deadly foodborne infection. Listeria monocytogenes is a common contaminant of food, and may cause severe disease in pregnant women, fetuses, neonates, the elderly, and those who are immunocompromised by medical conditions or treatments. Delay in treatment is an independent risk factor for neurologic sequela of L monocytogenes infection. A review of the literature, pathophysiology, epidemiology, clinical presentation, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment options is presented.
