Do women with pre-eclampsia, and their babies, benefit from magnesium sulphate? The Magpie Trial: a randomised placebo-controlled trial.

TL;DR: Magnesium sulphate halves the risk of eclampsia, and probably reduces therisk of maternal death, and there do not appear to be substantive harmful effects to mother or baby in the short term.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pre-eclampsia: its pathogenesis and pathophysiolgy.

TL;DR: The central hypothesis is that pre-eclampsia results from defective spiral artery remodelling, leading to cellular ischaemia in the placenta, which in turn results in an imbalance between anti-angiogenic and pro-angIogenic factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Every death counts : use of mortality audit data for decision making to save the lives of mothers, babies, and children in South Africa

TL;DR: The country is off-track for the health-related Millennium Development Goals and mortality in children younger than 5 years has increased, whereas maternal and neonatal mortality remain constant, indicating the challenge of strengthening the health system because of high inequity and HIV/AIDS.
Journal ArticleDOI
