Maternal mortality: only 42 days?
TL;DR: Where living conditions are harsh, pregnancy and delivery affect the health of the woman for more than 42 days, and extending the definition of maternal death to include all deaths within three months of delivery may increase current estimates of maternal mortality by 10–15%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dual infections with HIV-1, HIV-2 and HTLV-I are more common in older women than in men in Guinea-Bissau.
TL;DR: The pattern of increased prevalence among older women could have public health implications; women of older age groups should be regarded as a potential vulnerable group and included in HIV/AIDS prevention programmes.

Developing the Concept of Beneficial Non-Specific Effect of Live Vaccines With Epidemiological Studies
Peter Aaby,C.S. Benn +1 more
TL;DR: Observational and experimental research has shown beneficial NSEs of four live attenuated vaccines, smallpox vaccine, BCG, OPV and MV, and it is urgent to take both the specific and N SEs into account in the planning of vaccination programs.
