ReviewWITHDRAWN: Antihistamines versus aspirin for itching in late pregnancy.
While not common, itching in pregnancy (not due to liver disease) can be distressing. ⋯ Aspirin appears to be more effective than chlorpheniramine for relief of itching in pregnancy when no rash is present. If there is a rash, chlorpheniramine may be more effective.

ReviewWITHDRAWN: Soft versus rigid vacuum extractor cups for assisted vaginal delivery.
The original cups used for vacuum extraction delivery of the fetus were rigid metal cups. Subsequently, soft cups of flexible materials such as silicone rubber or plastic were introduced. Soft cups are thought to have a poorer success rate than metal cups. However they are also thought to be less likely to be associated with scalp trauma and less likely to injure the mother. ⋯ Metal cups appear to be more suitable for 'occipito-posterior', transverse and difficult 'occipito-anterior' position deliveries. The soft cups seem to be appropriate for straightforward deliveries.
