Hepatitis B in pregnancy

Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection affects about 350 million individuals worldwide. Management of HBV infection in pregnancy is difficult because of several peculiar and somewhat controversial aspects. The aim of the present review is to provide a tool that may help physicians to correctly manage HBV infection in pregnancy. This review focuses on (1) the effect of pregnancy on HBV infection and of HBV infection on pregnancy; (2) the potential viral transmission from mother to newborn despite at-birth prophylaxis with immunoglobulin and vaccine; (3) possible prevention of mother-to-child transmission through antiviral drugs, the type of antiviral drug to use considering their efficacy and potential teratogenic effect, and the timing of their administration and discontinuation; and (4) the evidence for the use of elective caesarean section vs vaginal delivery and the possibility of breastfeeding.

看风景的眼——唐果诗歌阅读札记

唐果的诗并不因有性别话语的存在而显得柔弱或矫情,反而是她强烈的女性天性——对万物的母怀——塑造了一个健美的抒情主体,她虽然敏感却不脆弱,有时尖锐却又充满机警的智慧。她的双眼一直关注着大自然的风景,用自己如画一般的诗之笔造一个梦幻的空间。在当代诗语普遍的文化焦虑之下,唐果通过独特的物我比照,不断发明新的物我关系,用她独特的隐微情愫来处理那些一不小心就会破坏诗意的文化问题。
