Strokes Associated With Pregnancy and Puerperium Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—The incidence of pregnancy-associated stroke in Japan did not seem higher than that in other Asian and Western countries. The proportion of hemorrhagic stroke among Japanese women was much higher than that in white women. Preexisting cerebrovascular diseases and reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome play a key role in hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke, respectively.

Teaching NeuroImages: Fetal deep medullary vein thrombosis presenting as progressive intracerebral hemorrhage
A 27-year-old pregnant woman underwent ultrasonography at 36 weeks gestation, which revealed unilateral echogenic lesion (figure 1). Her previous week's scan was normal. Possibilities of intracerebral hemorrhage and neoplasm were considered. The neonate, delivered 7 days later, had seizures on day 1. The MRI revealed bilateral extensive supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhages (figure 2). The baby died 3 days later due to continuing seizures and raised intracranial pressure. The MRI was characteristic of deep medullary vein (DMV) thrombosis with secondary hemorrhagic infarction. Prothrombotic workup revealed antithrombin I...

What Prohibition Can Teach Us About Drug and Alcohol Policy Today
It’s widely understood today that drinking while pregnant is harmful for the fetus. But the link between alcohol and the health of infants wasn’t as well known in the 1930s, when prohibition was repealed in the U.S. and all sorts of people, pregnant women included, began drinking again.Because prohibition was lifted on a piecemeal basis across the U.S., some counties continued to prohibit alcohol, or stay “dry,” while their neighboring counties were “wet.” Those conditions created what economists call a natural experiment, and made it possible to track the health impacts of maternal drin...
