We analyzed 999 (nine hundred and ninety-nine) medical records that correspond to the total number of deliveries performed by the Hospital, of these, only 59 patients used misoprostol and were notified at the unit between March and August 2016. After data collection, the data were descriptively analyzed using the Microsoft Excel® version 2010 program, and the results were presented through graphs and tables.Results: There was a significant difference between the number of pregnant women who used misoprostol to induce miscarriage 40 (100%), the dominant age group was> 20 years 33 (82, 50%); with gestational age <40 weeks 37 (92, 50%); having its indication of induction for other reasons 33 (82, 50%); Regarding marital status, single women predominated, 31 (77, 50%); brown race, 34 (85.0%).

Introduction The use of drugs of abuse during pregnancy is a public health problem, with deleterious consequences for the mother, her son, family and society effects. The seriousness of the problem and the lack of data concerning the use of drugs by pregnant women in our maternity motivated us to design this study. Objectives To identify among pregnant women admitted to the maternity HEAC users of licit and illicit drugs through self-declaration. Method A descriptive, cross-sectional study period August 1, 2013 a January 3, 2014. Questionnaire was applied during the hospital postpartum women, after signing an informed consent. Results 1055 women were studied, of these 266 (25.21%) were users of drugs of abuse. Among the women who reported using any drugs, were identified: tobacco (36.46%), alcohol (27.81%), cocaine (5.6%) and marijuana (2.2%). The average age of the group of drug users was 25.49 years, while the non-users was 24.81 years. The prevalence of drug use among adolescents was 18.04%. The children of drug users 7.5% had required neonatal intensive care. There was no statistical difference in relation to perinatal asphyxia among a group of users and non- drug users. Conclusion Considering that the identification of these women was only through self declaration of the use of licit and illicit drugs, it becomes even more concerning the current situation with regard to drug use by pregnant women, since this is probably just the tip of a large iceberg, we need to know so we can meet.

ASD groups using design-corrected F tests and multivariate logistic analyses. Results Compared with the ASD-now group, the no-longer-ASD group was more likely to be minority (40.6 vs. 18.3%, p < 0.01), have parents with high school education or lower (45.6 vs. 28.3%, p < 0.05), and less likely to be of Hispanic ethnicity (8.0 vs 18.5%, p < 0.05). The no-longer ASD group was more likely to have had hearing problems (although not currently) (21 vs 10.5%, p < 0.05), and less likely to have had epilepsy and seizures (6.2 vs 13.1%, p < 0.05), developmental delays (55.6 vs 72.8%, p < 0.05) or learning disabilities (56.6 vs 80.3%, p < 0.01). Retaining the ASD diagnosis dramatically increased with income levels among minority children, while declining for the most affluent children. Conclusions In a nationally representative US sample, we found evidence that the groups most likely to be told they have ASD when they do not are minority, low-income children, particularly those with hearing problems.
