    Notes: Objective To determine whether n-3 fatty acid (EPA/DCHA) prophylaxis is beneficial in high risk pregnancies.Design A randomised, double blind, placebo controlled trial.Setting Antenatal clinic of St James's University Hospital, Leeds.Subjects Two hundred and thirty-three pregnant women at high risk of developing proteinuric or nonproteinuric pregnancy induced hypertension or asymmetrical intrauterine growth retardation.Intervention Active treatment was 2.7 g of MaxEpa daily (1.62 g of eicosapentaenoic acid and 1.08 g of docosahexaenoic acid). Placebo were matching air-filled capsules.Main outcome measures Occurrence of proteinuric, nonproteinuric pregnancy induced hypertension or birthweight 〈 3rd centile.Results There was no difference in an intention to treat analysis between the placebo and active treatment groups for occurrence of proteinuric pregnancy induced hypertension (relative risk (RR) = 0.88;95% CI 0.47–1.66), nonproteinuric pregnancy induced hypertension (RR = 0.89; 95% CI0.48–1.64), birthweight 〈 3rd centile (RR = 0.89; 95% CI 0.48–1.64), or the duration of pregnancy (difference of mean durations = 0.1 days; 95% CI -4.8 to 4.9 days). Analyses stratified by use of tobacco, and analyses excluding known major protocol violators gave essentially identical results.Conclusion There is no evidence from ths study for any useful effect of fish oil supplementation for women at high risk of adverse outcomes from a pregnancy, but a small protective effect remains a possibility.

    Notes: Objective To assess the cosmetic appeal of abdominal incisions used for hysterectomy.Design A comparative study.Setting St James's University Hospital, LeedsParticipants One hundred women, including 50 consecutive women attending a gynaecology clinic for the first time and 50 hospital staff.Results Sixty-eight percent of women preferred a Pfannenstiel incision as the incision of first choice, while 31% chose the laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy incisions (LAVH). When women who had undergone previous abdominal surgery were compared with women with no previous surgery, there was a significant difference in their choice (80% Pfannenstiel, 18% LAVH compared with 54% Pfannenstiel, 45% LAVH).Conclusions In gynaecological surgery there is already a cosmetically-favoured incision. One cannot assume that if a gynaecologist uses a minimally invasive surgical technique at hysterectomy that this will be cosmetically acceptable to the woman. Gynaecologists should not use cosmetic appeal in counselling women for LAVH and should concentrate on the other proven benefits of minimally invasive surgery.
