Women Can Quit Smoking And Control Weight Gainemail this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
Many women don't quit smoking because they are afraid of gaining weight. That's because nicotine suppresses the appetite and boosts a smoker's metabolism. But a new meta-analysis (results of several studies) shows that women who quit smoking while receiving treatment for weight control are better able to control their weight gain and are more successful at quitting cigarettes.

Management of the critically ill obstetric patientemail this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
Abstract: Obstetric critical illnesses represent a small but important proportion of all intensive care unit (ICU) admissions in the UK. They are challenging to the critical care team because of the unique physiology and specific medical disorders seen in this population. Maternal mortality is fortunately rare, but devastating when it occurs, with the commonest causes of death being cardiac disease and venous thromboembolism. Massive obstetric haemorrhage, pre-eclampsia and genital tract sepsis are also important causes, and these are reflected in the reasons for ICU admission in the obstetric population. Maternal mortalit...

Abstract: Obesity is a modern day epidemic. The incidence appears to be rapidly increasing in both developed and developing countries and has become much more obvious in the last decade. It is regarded as one of the major risk factors in pregnant women and has particularly gained recognition in obstetric practice due to its potentially adverse effects on pregnancy and the fetus.There is evidence to show that obesity in pregnancy contributes to increased morbidity and mortality in both mother and baby. It is associated with adverse outcomes such as preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, thromboembolism, fetal abnormalities and...

Abstract: One of the major roles of ultrasound in pregnancy is the detection of structural abnormalities. Ultrasound screening has become an accepted part of antenatal practice. However there is a wide variety in the practice between different centers. The majority of fetal anomalies are diagnosed by ultrasound in the second trimester. However, a number of abnormalities are amenable to diagnosis as early as 11–14 weeks gestation. National guidelines have been adopted in an attempt to standardize the practice in the UK. Prenatal detection rate is higher in countries with a national screening program. Prenatal ultrasound i...
