What we learned about the role of antenatal magnesium sulfate for the prevention of cerebral palsy
Based on the convincing case control study of Nelson and Grether which suggested that the administration of magnesium sulfate to mothers prior to early preterm birth might protect their offspring from cerebral palsy, and a pilot study by John Hauth et al. at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Maternal-Fetal Medicine Units Network, with co-funding from the National Institute of Neurologic Disorders and Stroke embarked on the Beneficial Effects of Antenatal Magnesium (BEAM) Trial in 1997.

What we have learned about the role of 17-alpha-hydroxyprogesterone caproate in the prevention of preterm birth
Despite major advances in neonatal care, the burden of preterm birth remains high. This is not unexpected since strategies to identify and treat risk factors in early pregnancy have not been very effective in reducing the preterm birth rate. Initial studies suggested a potential benefit for 17-alpha-hydroxyprogesterone caproate (17-OHPC) in decreasing the risk of recurrent preterm birth women with a singleton gestation. However, the use of 17-OHPC has not conferred benefit for other categories of women at high risk for preterm delivery (twins, triplets, and short cervical length). (Source: Seminars in Perinatology)

Pediatric obstetrical ethics: Medical decision-making by, with, and for pregnant early adolescents
Pregnancy in an early adolescent carries with it specific ethical considerations, in some ways different from pregnancy in an adult and from medical care of a non-pregnant adolescent. Obstetrical ethics emphasizes the right of the patient to autonomy and bodily integrity, including the right to refuse medical intervention. Pediatric ethics recognizes the right of parents, within limits, to make medical decisions for their children, and the right of a child to receive medical or surgical interventions likely to be of benefit to her, sometimes over her own objections.
