Considerações a propósito do tratamento medicamentoso de 1217 pacientes epilépticos: I: estudo em relação ao tipo de epilepsia e ao eletrencefalograma Drug treatment of 1.211 epile... by Luís Marques-Assis

“…The study was made in regard to the clinical manifestations and electroencephalographic pattern. Concerning the type of seizures, the author draws the following conclusions : 1) the evolution was better in patients with Bravais-Jackson seizures; 2) the highest percentual rate of remission was shown by patients with sleep seizures (59,0%); 3) the patients with "grand mal" seizures without aura were the most refractory to the treatment; 4) the patients with generalized fits secondary to focal discharges showed the best results, although evidencing lowest remission index; 5) among all types of seizures, the Bravais-Jacsonian fits showed better evolution, specially the cases without generalization; 6) significant differences of evolution were not found between convulsive and non convulsive epilepsy. …”

Using linked data to explore medical complications associated with Robson classification of cesarean deliveries in Massachusetts, 2011 to 2018AJOG Global Reports at a Glance by Ruby Barnard-Mayers, MPH, Eugene Declercq, PhD, Eleanor J. Murray, ScD, Tina D. Yarrington, MD, FACOG, Martha M. Werler, DSc

“…Almost all births for malpresentation or malposition of fetus had at least one labor and delivery complication but much lower rates of risk factors (between 25% and 46%). Conclusion: While cesarean delivery rates, maternal risk factors, and labor and delivery complications followed similar patterns across Robson groups, there were notable discrepancies, especially in births with noncephalic presentations where maternal comorbidity rates matched lower cesarean-risk groups like the nulliparous single-term cephalic births.…”
