We examined the prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis infection in Israeli female soldiers. The prevalence was 3.2% among soldiers seeking medical care; rural residence was identified as a significant risk factor. Nevertheless, given the study design, recommending broad-scale screening of Israeli female soldiers may be premature.2
It has been suggested that vibroacoustic stimulation might be stressful to the fetus. The present study was designed to evaluate whether the stimulus induces passage of meconium in labor. Patients in labor at term with healthy fetuses and intact membranes were randomized to a vibroacoustic stimulation or sham test. The incidence of meconium was the same in both groups. Pregnancy outcome variables were also similar in both groups. In conclusion, vibroacoustic stimulation does not increase the incidence of meconium passage of labor of healthy fetuses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
