Prenatal cannabis exposure and the risk for neuropsychiatric anomalies in the offspring: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: To evaluate the association between cannabis use during pregnancy and the risk for long-term neuropsychiatric pathology in the offspring.

Data Sources: MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane library databases were systematically searched until January 22, 2024, with no language or date restrictions.

Study Eligibility Criteria: Studies were eligible for inclusion if they reported quantitative data on any long-term neuropsychiatric outcome in offspring whose mothers used cannabis during pregnancy for medical or recreational use, by any route and at any trimester, in comparison to offspring of women who abstained from cannabis use during pregnancy.

Characterization of Cannabis users and products and the experience of negative mental emotions following Cannabis use.

Retrospective study to investigate fresh frozen plasma and packed cell ratios when administered for women with postpartum hemorrhage, before and after introduction of a massive transfusion protocol.

Background: Administration of packed red blood cells (PRBC) and fresh frozen plasma (FFP) to women with postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) before and after introduction of a massive transfusion protocol.

Methods: The retrospective PPH study cohort of two tertiary centers was identified using blood bank records, verified by patient electronic medical records. We identified women transfused with ≥3 units PRBC in a short time period within 24 hours of delivery.
