Review[Ten practical issues concerning acute poisoning with carbon monoxide in pregnant women].
The poisoning of carbon monoxide (CO) is the leading cause of death by poisoning in France. Its consequences are potentially serious to the fetus. Literature is ancient and little known. ⋯ Oxygen therapy should be offered in all cases of CO poisoning, especially if there are maternal symptoms during exposure. In addition, a fetal echography directed on the cephalic pole - even a fetal magnetic resonance imaging three weeks after exposure - should also be proposed.

Multicenter Study[Frequency, causes and risk factors of postpartum haemorrhage: a population-based study in 106 French maternity units].
To estimate the incidence, to describe the aetiology and to identify the risk factors of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH). ⋯ In these six French perinatal networks, in 2005-2006, the PPH profile was characterized by an incidence of severe forms higher than previous population-based estimates from other countries. This suggests a more frequent aggravation of PPH and the implication of inadequate PPH management.

Review[Prenatal corticosteroids: short-term and long-term effects of multiple courses. Literature review in 2013].
Prenatal corticosteroids administration is one of the major advances in obstetrics and neonatology for the prevention of preterm-birth related complications. However, concerns have been raised about its safety regarding neonatal growth and children development. ⋯ It remains some uncertainty regarding the choice of antenatal corticosteroids, the interval between injections, the timing of effectiveness and the maximum number of courses per pregnancy that is acceptable without causing complications among children. Thus, we performed a current literature review in 2013 regarding short- and long-term efficacy and safety in order to give clear recommendations to practitioners.

Review[Placental features in intrauterine growth retardation].
To evaluate the placental pathological patterns in intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) in order to determinate which placental lesions are linked to clinically significant anomalies and to predict the child outcome and the mother risk of recurrence. ⋯ Placental morphological findings can play a critical role in explaining the IUGR. They always need to be correlated with clinical findings.
