FIGO good practice recommendations on anemia in pregnancy, to reduce the incidence and impact of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH)

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 171, Issue 3, Page 993-1007, December 2025.
Abstract Anemia affects 32 million pregnant women globally, contributing annually to more than 115 000 maternal deaths and 591 000 perinatal deaths worldwide. Low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) bear the highest burden of anemia in pregnancy, with nearly 50% of affected pregnant women. It is now 2025, which is WHO's target year for a 50% reduction

Guillain–Barré Syndrome Following Malaria: A Rare Case Report From Rural Ethiopia and Literature Review

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acute immune‐mediated polyradiculoneuropathy often triggered by infections. Malaria, a common parasitic disease in endemic regions, has rarely been associated with GBS. We report a case of a 21‐year‐old male from rural Ethiopia who developed GBS following Plasmodium vivax malaria.
