South African #MedTwitter, please help! Does anyone have copies of the 1998, 1999-2001 and 2002-2004 NCCEMD Saving Mothers reports?
I've hit a brick wall and can't find them anywhere (and need them for my PhD research). Any help would be appreciated!

Here’s a nice analysis of 2.5M children about Tylenol and autism. The study found a small association between tylenol use in pregnancy and autism, but the association went away in sibling analysis. In sibling analysis you compare children born to the same mother where one child was exposed to Tylenol but not the other. This is a better comparison because genetics are similar between siblings whereas they differ greatly in non siblings from different families. Bottom line: no increased risk of autism with tylenol use in a huge population analysis. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

10/10 can highly recommended this book! The cases are great and unpacked really well, no matter your level of experience.
Just in case you need Christmas present ideas for the maternal medicine obstetrician/physician/midwife in your family! Or perhaps an escape on Christmas day itself..

Read this thread! So many excellent points (and Very Helpful for Someone who Really Loves Capital Letters 😬)
Having spent more of this afternoon than was intended proof-reading an enormous article, this is a thread for those publishing about pregnancy, with some pointers on common but easy to avoid errors! Not an exhaustive list, please add to it.

#FetusNOTFoetus
As a reformed user of the term “foetus” I now have the editorial from @nelson_piercy printed next to my desk so I can dramatically point at it while working with students on their manuscripts. (The dramatic pointing with a theatrical sigh is key.)

First: the correct spelling of fetus does not include an 'o'. This is not Americanised as some think. For more information, the editorial here by @nelson_piercy sums up the history. Short version - just use FETAL/FETUS and you won't go wrong.

Thank you @SOM_ANZ for hosting an excellent @IntSocObMed conference.
Excited to be part of the next generation of Obstetric Physicians and contribute to the growth and recognition of Obstetric Medicine in SA and abroad.
Inspirational work from the Obstetric Medicine team at @cmcvelloreoff. Huge drop off in Maternal Mortality with the establishment of an Obstetric Medicine unit.
