Abstract

This review highlights some of the new epidemiologic information concerning sex differences involving combined oral contraceptives and stroke, depression and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors use during pregnancy, emerging knowledge of the teratogenicity and cognitive effects of anticonvulsants during pregnancy, demyelinating disorders in pregnancy, and the influence of timing of hormonal exposure on the risk of Alzheimer disease.
