BACKGROUND Cesarean delivery rates are increasing rapidly in many developing countries, particularly among wealthy women. Poor women have lower rates, often so low that they do not reach the minimum rate of 1 percent. Little data are available on clinical indications for cesarean section, information that could assist in understanding why cesarean delivery rates have changed. This paper present...

BACKGROUND In many countries, neuraxial blocks comprise the majority of anesthetics given for cesarean section. In Iran, however general anesthesia for cesarean section is prevalent. In our institution, the rate of general anesthesia for cesarean section is 39%, providing an opportunity to collect data regarding airway management in the parturients. We report on the outcomes of a series of pati...

PURPOSE We tested the hypothesis that cesarean section might increase the risk for allergic diseases compared to vaginal delivery, by depriving the newborn of exposure to maternal microflora. METHODS We evaluated the prevalence of allergic diseases, allergic inflammation, and allergic sensitization according to mode of delivery for 279 Korean children aged </=16 years. Data were extracted fro...
