ReviewMaternal antigen avoidance during lactation for preventing atopic disease in infants of women at high risk.
To assess the effects of prescribing an antigen avoidance diet during lactation on the nutritional status of the mother and newborn and on the development of atopic disease in the child. The main focus is on women whose infants are at high risk for developing an atopic condition, based on a history of atopic disease in the mother, father, or a previous child. ⋯ Prescription of an antigen avoidance diet to a high-risk woman during lactation may substantially reduce her child's risk of developing atopic eczema, but better trials are needed.

To assess the effects of providing pregnant women with high-protein nutritional supplements on gestational weight gain and on the outcome of pregnancy, including fetal growth, gestational duration, and maternal and fetal/infant morbidity and mortality. ⋯ There is not enough evidence to evaluate the use of high protein supplementation in pregnancy.

ReviewEnergy/protein restriction for high weight-for-height or weight gain during pregnancy.
To assess the effects of prescribing a low-energy diet to pregnant women who are either overweight, or who exhibited high weight gain earlier in gestation, on subsequent weight gain, pre-eclampsia, and the outcome of pregnancy. ⋯ Protein/energy restriction of pregnant women who are overweight or exhibit high weight gain is unlikely to be beneficial and may be harmful to the developing fetus.
-
To assess the effects of providing pregnant women with isocaloric protein supplements (ie where the protein replaces an equal quantity of nonprotein energy) on gestational weight gain and on the outcome of pregnancy. ⋯ Balanced protein supplementation alone (ie without energy supplementation) is unlikely to be of benefit to pregnant women or their infants.

ReviewFollicle-stimulating hormone and human menopausal gonadotropin for ovarian stimulation in assisted reproduction cycles.
To conduct a systematic overview of available data comparing FSH and hMG in IVF treatment cycles. ⋯ This meta-analysis demonstrates that in IVF cycles the use of FSH is associated with a significantly higher clinical pregnancy rate than hMG.
