Birth injury and method of delivery

Article Abstract:

Operative vaginal deliveries may increase the risk of injury to the baby. An operative vaginal delivery means the doctor uses vacuum extraction or forceps to help pull the baby through the birth canal. A 1999 study found that the risk of injury to the baby was highest when both vacuum extraction and forceps were used. The baby was also most likely to be injured if the operative delivery is not successful. Vacuum extraction or forceps caused no greater injury to the baby than a cesarean section would.

Bivalirudin for patients with acute coronary syndromes

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to evaluate the usefulness of bivalirudin as part of an early invasive strategy with optimal antiplatelet therapy in patients with acute coronary syndromes. It was found that in patients with unstable angina or myocardial infarction without ST-segment elevation who were undergoing early invasive management, the rates of ischemic events and bleeding were similar with the use of either bivalirudin or heparin when combined with the planned use of a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor.
