Accidental electric shock in pregnancy: a prospective cohort study

Article Abstract:

Accidental electric shocks of low to moderate intensity encountered during pregnancy may not seriously harm fetuses. Researchers studied 31 pregnant women who had received an accidental electric shock and followed them up through delivery. Most women (26) had received low, 110-volt shocks. Twenty-eight women delivered normal infants while one delivered a child with a heart defect and two miscarried. This rate of miscarriage was considered normal. The incidence of one birth defect and no fetal deaths were much lower than previous studies on electric shock in pregnant women.

Citalopram use in pregnancy: Prospective comparative evaluation of pregnancy and fetal outcome

Article Abstract:

A study to investigate whether citalopram is associated with an increased incidence of adverse pregnancy outcome is presented. Citalopram use during the period of embryogenesis in pregnancy is not associated with an apparent major terotogenic risk, but late pregnancy use of citalopram is associated with increased risk of poor neonatal adaptation syndrome.

Recall bias of the symptoms of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy

Article Abstract:

The accuracy of recall by women of their symptoms of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy is assessed. A study on 200 pregnant women shows that nausea and vomiting in pregnancy can produce recall bias that may distort the evaluation of the therapeutic effectiveness of antiemetics
