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.

Manish Patel, Minal Patel (2022-06-11).

[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.
