Antiretroviral Therapy Around Childbirth Reduces Risk Of Mother-To-Child HIV-1 Transmission (pp 1168, 1178)
Antiretroviral therapy given to women before, during, and after childbirth could be beneficial in reducing mother-to-child HIV-1 transmission in the first few weeks after delivery, suggest authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. However, this short-term benefit could be compromised... view more (2002-04-04)

Boys cause more problems during labour
Women are more likely to encounter complications during labour and delivery when they are having a boy, according to researchers in this week's BMJ. The study took place in the National Maternity Hospital, Dublin using data from the delivery ward database during 1997 to 2000. All mothers who were... view more (2003-01-16)
