Car seats for children.
Automobile accidents are the most frequent cause of injury and death among young children. The number of injuries or deaths could be decreased by the use of child restraints. Counseling parents about car safety has a positive effect on increasing the use of restraints. Other important factors include passive protection, such as interior design and air bags, appropriate laws for enforcement of proper use and adequate safety testing of existing restraints.

Group B streptococcus.
The Group B streptococcus has only recently been recognized as a cause of serious clinical disease, especially in infants under three months of age. These organisms are normally found in the female genital tract and also exist, at a lower rate, in male urethras. During labor and delivery, they are transmitted to the fetus in utero or during passage through the birth canal. Group B streptococcal infections in infants are associated with high mortality and sequelae rates despite antibiotic administration.

Double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial of propranolol as treatment for menopausal vasomotor symptoms.
A trial of propranolol for the treatment of vasomotor symptoms was conducted among 37 menopausal women in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover fashion. When compared with placebo, propranolol had a statistically significant effect on the reduction of both the frequency and severity of vasomotor symptoms (P less than 0.01). In selected patients, propranolol may be an alternative to the treatment of vasomotor symptoms with exogenous estrogens.
