Published: February 2011

A Motherisk symposium on establishing benchmarks for the evaluation of medications during pregnancy, was held on May 10, 2006, under the auspices of the Canadian Society of Pharmacology and Therapeutics. From that symposium came a consensus on the need for collection and analysis of data on fetal safety and ongoing post-marketing surveillance, which in turn led to the establishment of CaseMed-Pregnancy--the Canadian Alliance for Safe and Effective Medication During Pregnancy and Breastfeeding.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on women of childbearing age (WoCBA) with moderate-to-severe psoriasis, examining their treatment options based on their pregnancy plans.
  • It compares two groups: those wishing to conceive (CB+) and those not planning to have more children (CB-), noting that there were no major differences in health-related quality of life but a higher use of certain treatments in the CB+ group.
  • Results indicate that discussions about family planning were more frequent among the CB+ group, but overall patient-doctor agreement on treatment decisions was only fair-to-moderate, highlighting areas for improvement in shared decision-making.

The yolk sac is phylogenetically the oldest of the extra-embryonic membranes and plays important roles in nutrient transfer during early pregnancy in many species. In the human this function is considered largely vestigial, in part because the secondary yolk sac never makes contact with the inner surface of the chorionic sac. Instead, it is separated from the chorion by the fluid-filled extra-embryonic coelom and attached to the developing embryo by a relatively long vitelline duct.

One of the most important aspects during conception and pregnancy is to maintain disease remission, as disease activity is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes.
