Homoeopathy is not considered as a scientific therapy. ⋯ If homoeopathy wants to be recognised by classical medicine, it must continue its academic research. It is only by doing this that homoeopathy will be accepted by the scientific world.

Review[Algorithms for oxygenation and difficult intubations in obstetrics].
The obstetrical population is prone to difficult or failed intubation. Control of the airway is complicated by several factors specific to obstetric anesthesia; time of apnea is short due to a reduced functional residual capacity, pregnancy-induced hypertension and obesity are relatively frequent; anesthetist's skill can also be mentioned. ⋯ Each anesthetist must keep an algorithm in mind, should a difficult or failed intubation in obstetrical patient. Whichever method is used (ventilation through a facial mask or laryngeal mask, transtracheal oxygenation), the anesthetist must never forget that the first priority is always the safety of the mother.
