TL;DR: Judging from the new population registry‐based studies with comparison to disease controls, there seems to be no demonstrable increase in the rate of major anomalies, prematurity, small for gestational age, or miscarriage, and the risk associated with treatment discontinuation appears to outweigh the fetal and neonatal risks of maternal treatment.

TL;DR: It is shown that four commonly used drug formularies give few and widely differing dosing guidelines for drugs prescribed in the intensive care unit, and Physicians should be aware of the limitations of these formularie for daily practice in this group of vulnerable patients.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that cortisol levels measured in hair may correlate better with chronic stress, and salivary cortisol levels used as a biomarker of stress cannot accurately reflect chronic stress.

TL;DR: This review presents and synthesizes studies conducted worldwide on alcohol consumption by pregnant women, risk factors associated with gestational drinking, as well as doses and definitions of drinking behaviours.

TL;DR: Application of TTSF patches 2 h preoperatively is associated with moderate supplementary opioid requirements for analgesia in the early postoperative period and ongoing opioid supplementation for at least 72 h and a high incidence of respiratory depression requiring intensive monitoring, oxygen supplementation, and removal of the T TSF patches.
