Elizabeth O'Brien, Miriam Rich (2022-06-11). [Perspectives] Obstetric violence in historical perspective. thelancet.com Although improvements in perinatal care have helped save many lives worldwide, reproductive health inequities remain rife.

Obstetric violence refers to harm inflicted during or in relation to pregnancy, childbearing, and…

[Articles] Risk of myocarditis and pericarditis after the COVID-19 mRNA vaccination in the USA: a cohort study in claims databases. thelancet.com An increased risk of myocarditis or pericarditis was observed after COVID-19 mRNA vaccination and was highest in men aged 18—25 years after a second dose of the vaccine. However, the incidence was rare. These results do not indicate a statistically significant risk difference between mRNA-1273 and BNT162b2, but it should not be ruled out that a difference might exist. Our study results, along with the benefit—risk profile, continue to support vaccination using either of the two mRNA vaccines.
