Obesity increases risk of many complications during pregnancy and labour, including emergency caesarean section and wound infection (Sebire et al., 2001). In patients with a voluminous panniculus, problems arise during a caesarean section with the commonly used Pfannenstiel incision: a distorted abdominal wall contour reducing access to the lower segment when the panniculus is lifted and post-surgical wound infection beneath the pannus...

OBJECTIVE: The study was designed to investigate the frequency of misusing standard error of the mean (SEM) in place of standard deviation (SD) to describe study samples in four selected journals published in 2011. Citation counts of articles and the relationship between the misuse rate and impact factor, immediacy index, or cited half-life were also evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS: All original articles in the four selected journals published in 2011 were searched for descriptive statistics reporting with either mean ± SD or mean ± SEM...
