Adverse events following acupuncture: prospective survey of 32 000 consultations with doctors and physiotherapists.
"Acupuncture is increasingly popular, but it is not free from risk for the patient.1 Safety is best established with prospective surveys. Our aim was to ascertain the incidence of adverse events related to acupuncture treatment, as currently practised in Britain by doctors and physiotherapists.

Weight loss in obese infertile women results in improvement in reproductive outcome for all forms of fertility treatment.
"Prior to the programme, the 67 women had had treatment costing a total of A$550,000 for two live births, a cost of A$275,000 per baby. After the programme, the same women had treatment costing a total of A$210,000 for 45 babies, a cost of A$4600 per baby. Thus weight loss should be considered as a first option for women who are infertile and overweight.

Gestational vaginal bleeding and pregnancy outcome
"First trimester bleeding of any severity was marginally associated with congenital malformations In the offspring (OR = 1.7, 95% Cl 1.0–2.9); the effect was the same for major and minor abnormalities. There was no association between first trimester bleeding and placental complications of pregnancy or the delivery of a stillborn infant" categories: Research Articles Added: Tue 18 of Mar, 2008 Last updated: Tue 18 of Mar, 2008 Hits: 494
Exposure to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs during pregnancy and risk of miscarriage: population based cohort study
"Conclusion Prenatal use of NSAIDs and aspirin increased the risk of miscarriage. These findings need confirmation in studies designed specifically to examine the apparent association." categories: Research Articles Added: Sun 16 of Mar, 2008 Last updated: Sun 16 of Mar, 2008 Hits: 470

Failure of prescription prenatal vitamin products to meet USP standards for folic acid dissolution.
"CONCLUSIONS: Because a wide variety of brand-name and generic prescription prenatal multivitamin products were tested, these results are likely to be representative of the multivitamin products on the market. Given the significance of folic acid to public health, the authors believe that this subject should be studied further and that prompt action should be taken to ensure that folic-acid-containing products are of the highest quality possible." categories: Research Articles Added: Tue 18 of Mar, 2008 Last updated: Tue 18 of Mar, 2008 Hits: 418
Randomised controlled trial of yoga and bio-feedback in management of hypertension.
"34 hypertensive patients were assigned at random either to six weeks' treatment by yoga relaxation methods with bio-feedback or to placebo therapy (general relaxation). Both groups showed a reduction in blood-pressure (from 168/100 to 141/84 mm. Hg in the treated group and from 169/101 to 160/96 mm Hg in the control group). The difference was highly significant. The control group was then trained in yoga relaxation, and their blood-pressure fell to that of the other group (now used as controls)." categories: Research Articles Added: Tue 18 of Mar, 2008 Last updated: Tue 18 of Mar, 2008 Hits: 416
Fetal heart rate in early pregnancy and chromosomal disorders.
"CONCLUSION: Fetal heart rate in chromosomally abnormal fetuses in early pregnancy do not appear to be consistently different from that in normal fetuses. The use of a single measurement of fetal heart rate is not valuable for screening purposes. Chromosomal mosaicism in chorionic villi may be associated with abnormal fetal heart rate." categories: Research Articles Added: Tue 18 of Mar, 2008 Last updated: Tue 18 of Mar, 2008 Hits: 405
Types of pregnancy loss in recurrent miscarriage: implications for research and clinical practice.
"CONCLUSIONS: Serial ultrasound helps to discriminate type of pregnancy loss and demonstrates that embryo loss is more common than fetal loss. More importantly, pregnancy loss patterns do not seem to differ between diagnostic groups in a treated population. The fetal loss rate in each of the diagnostic groups is similar to that in other reported populations." categories: Research Articles Added: Sun 16 of Mar, 2008 Last updated: Sun 16 of Mar, 2008 Hits: 397
Miscarriage Effects on Couples’ Interpersonal and Sexual Relationships During the First Year After Loss: Women’s Perceptions.
"Conclusions: Women differed in perceptions of how miscarriage affected their IR and SR. The Lazarus Model helped explain those differences. Key words: miscarriage, perinatal loss, emotions, sexual relationship, couples, marriage. " categories: Research Articles Added: Tue 18 of Mar, 2008 Last updated: Tue 18 of Mar, 2008 Hits: 397
Is the salivary "ferning" a reliable index of the fertile period?
"We found that the fern leaf crystallisation of human saliva is a non-specific phenomenon, independent on the action of estrogenic hormones. Salivary ferning can be obtained in practice during the whole menstrual cycle and occurs in the saliva of postclimateric, pregnant and prepuberal women. Even the saliva of male subjects gives invariably the ferning reaction. In conclusion, salivary ferning does not seem a reliable method to establish woman fertile period." categories: Research Articles Added: Tue 18 of Mar, 2008 Last updated: Tue 18 of Mar, 2008 Hits: 395
Alterations in Brain and Immune Function Produced by Mindfulness Meditation.
"CONCLUSIONS: These findings demonstrate that a short program in mindfulness meditation produces demonstrable effects on brain and immune function. These findings suggest that meditation may change brain and immune function in positive ways and underscore the need for additional research." categories: Research Articles Added: Tue 18 of Mar, 2008 Last updated: Tue 18 of Mar, 2008 Hits: 393
"C677T and A1298C mutation of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene in unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion.
"Homozygosity for MTHFR C677T (late and early-late) and A1298C (early-late) are risk factor for RPLs, irrespectively of total homocysteine levels." categories: Research Articles Added: Tue 18 of Mar, 2008 Last updated: Tue 18 of Mar, 2008 Hits: 392
Prevalence of Genetic Markers for Thrombophilia in Recurrent Pregnancy Loss

Retardation of coronary atherosclerosis with yoga lifestyle intervention.

It also improves symptomatic status, functional class and risk factor profile." categories: Research Articles Added: Tue 18 of Mar, 2008 Last updated: Tue 18 of Mar, 2008 Hits: 372
Hypersecretion of luteinizing hormone and ovarian steroids in women with recurrent early miscarriage.
"These data demonstrate abnormalities in LH secretion in 81% of women with recurrent fetal loss. Inappropriately raised LH levels may have adverse effects on the developing oocyte or endometrium either directly, or indirectly by causing an elevation in testosterone and oestrogen levels." categories: Research Articles Added: Tue 18 of Mar, 2008 Last updated: Tue 18 of Mar, 2008 Hits: 353
