Cervical wet mount as a negative predictor for gonococci- and Chlamydia trachomatis-induced cervicitis in a gravid population
Article Abstract:
Doctors who find 10 or fewer polymorphonuclear lymphocytes during a microscopic examination of a woman's cervical fluid can be fairly confident that she does not have chlamydia or gonorrhea. Examining biological specimens on a microscope slide is called a wet mount, and this technique could be much cheaper than blood cultures. This was confirmed in a study of 341 women.

A randomized controlled trial comparing oxytocin administration before and after placental delivery in the prevention of postpartum hemorrhage
Article Abstract:
Oxytocin can reduce the risk of postpartum hemorrhage to the same degree whether it is given before or after the placenta detaches. If given before, it does not appear to increase the risk of a retained placenta.
