Mode of delivery and postpartum morbidity in Latin American and Caribbean countries among women who are infected with human immunodeficiency virus-1: The NICHD International Site Developmental Initiative (NISDI) Perinatal study

Article Abstract:

Study was conducted to test whether cesarean delivery before labor and before ruptured membranes, is associated with a higher risk of postpartum morbidity than vaginal delivery among women who are infected with human immunodeficiency virus-1 in Latin America and the Caribbean is tested. The rate of postpartum morbidity was low. Mode of delivery was associated with postpartum morbidity, possibly reflecting the larger proportion of minor postpartum morbidity events among those with cesarean delivery after labor and/or after ruptured membranes.

Influence of thyrotropin-releasing hormone administation at birth on thermoregulation in lambs delivered by cesarean

Article Abstract:

Giving babies born by cesarean delivery an injection of thyrotropin-releasing hormone shortly after birth may help their thermoregulatory system mature, according to a study in lambs. Vaginal birth normally stimulates the natural production of thyrotropin-releasing hormone, but his may not happen in babies born via cesarean.
