Primary Hyperparathyroidism in Pregnancy: Maternofetal Outcomes at a Quaternary Referral Obstetric Hospital, 2000 Through 2015.

Context: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) in pregnancy has historically been associated with substantial maternofetal morbidity and mortality rates. The optimal treatment and timing of surgical intervention in pregnancy remain contested.

Objective: To compare maternofetal outcomes of medically and surgically treated patients with PHPT in pregnancy.

Postural change in convulsive seizures: a retrospective review of video-electroencephalographic recordings.

Background: Prone position has been identified as an important risk factor for sudden unexpected death in epilepsy raising the possibility of avoidance of this posture in sleep as a preventative measure.

Aims: To evaluate the potential utility of prone posture position, we studied patterns of postural change during generalised tonic clonic seizures.

Methods: Video-electroencephalographic recordings of patients undergoing investigations at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital between 2005 and 2013 were reviewed independently by two raters.
