Article Synopsis
- This study investigates whether the type of skin incision used in cesarean deliveries (Cohen vs. Pfannenstiel) affects maternal health outcomes in obese pregnant individuals (BMI ≥ 35 kg/m).
- Conducted at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital from 2016 to 2020, the research initially aimed to enroll 284 participants but was cut short after only 72 were randomized due to recruitment issues.
- The majority of participants were severely obese and had significant health issues, but the results regarding differences in maternal morbidity between the two incision types remain uncertain due to the early termination of the study.
Infectious diseases played a key role in public health development during the 20th century and well-known western comics such as Asterix, The Adventures of Tintin and Lucky Luke are of major significance to the local collective imagination. The purpose of the present review is to establish how infectious diseases were addressed in Goscinny, Hergé and Morris's comics by systematically gathering all references to infectiology throughout the series. It emerged that many allusions to transmittable diseases could be found in The Adventures of Tintin whereas Asterix and Lucky Luke, whose historical frameworks differ from the ones of the authors, rarely mention any contagious diseases.
